Wests Tigers Lower Grade Venues

[stevied]

I was thinking of driving down from the Central Coast to watch the Tigers this Saturday and was hoping to make a day of it by seeing some lower grade games. This is impossible because all the other fixtures are being played at Lidcombe Oval, one of them (Jersey Flegg, I think) on Sunday. I know Lidcombe is the former Wests home ground and there is a nostalgic attachment to the venue, but at $40 for a ticket on the hill plus petrol money, to watch one 80 minute game, it is poor value and barely worth the effort. In my view, the Wests Tigers Jersey Flegg team, at least, should be scheduled to be played before Wests Tigers games, no matter which home venue. Anyone agree with me and can anything be done about it? Watching Under 23, Reserve Grade then the Firsts in the 80s - now that was good value!

When a day at the footy was a day at the footy! We're driving in from Central West, and it's ridiculous for one game, but for us, it's meeting up with friends as well.
