They say it's not good to compare.. Compare anything.
Some cultures have that drilled into them Wether it's religion or just a way of life.
My missus ways told me when we first met don't compare... It is what it is, sometimes for reasons well never know
We don't compare our crowds to Broncos crowds... Or Roosters crowds either, it is what it is and acceptance is the key, do what you can to improve things if they need imoroving... but LO & CSS will never be the same.
LOs history and and the deep family traditions it has do make it more of an event than just an. NRL game which I find at Cambo, it's distance for many supporters makes them wanna head home straight after the game where LO has plenty of pubs so before and after the game supportdrs tend to hang around more and a hell of a lot of old Balmain fans love the ground more than the team... Happy memories of great times (some not so) and nostalgia spark strong emotions.
As an old Magpie I have more connection to Leichhardt than Cambo... Hated when we moved but grudgingly had to accept it.
It's a tough dilemma... I'd hate to have to move (again) but I'd like one home ground but would miss terribly our real homes... Forever a long time
