Wests Tigers - Who are we..

[cochise]

If you look at my past posts you will see I have said a few times we don’t stand for anything. That’s why it’s so hard to build a culture, because nobody knows what to draw on. Hate to sound like a broken record but............1 home ground would be a big start.

We don't need to build anything. Culture stems from history, and we have two glorious histories married into one. We have the richest history and culture of any club.

Playing at one ground in Parramatta, Liverpool, Homebush or Moore Park will not add one drop of 'culture' to what we have playing in Campbelltown and Leichhardt.

In fact I'd go further. There's more to our culture in playing at both Leichhardt and Campbelltown, than there will ever be in us shifting to another ground for the sake of having one stadium.

A curse on Parramatta, a pox on Liverpool, a hex on Homebush. And an uppercut to anyone who says we need to choose between Campbelltown and Leichhardt.

No need to choose between either of them, I love Leichhardt but both grounds are fast becoming outdated.

Then upgrade them both .
Brookvale is about to receive a multi million dollar upgrade .

A multimillion dollar upgrade is lipstick on a pig. Need well in excess of $100m

Load of crap

There have been multi million upgrades done in the past and both grounds still aren't up to standard.

When we’re winning Leichhardt is always at capacity... punters don’t care about standards ..
The games go for 80mins ..
You young blokes are soft ...
It’s a game of footy ...you ain’t going to the Opera House for a glass of red and horderves

Mate, I love Leichhardt, I'm there rain, hail or shine and will be till we no longer play there. Sadly that day is fast approaching.

I know you’re a mega fan of Parramatta Stadium but playing there on a permanent basis will alienate more punters ...
If we go to one venue the logical answer is ANZ imo

The new SFS will be the ground of choice.

It very well could be, but that further confuses our identity in my opinion.

I think that the club should take their loyal fans a lot more seriously. Listen honestly to what they think and how they believe the club should achieve it. If a club just eliminates the fans from all their dealings then that club is on a downward spiral.

If this forum is an example then no way should the club take any notice of a bunch of nuffies like us. Doing so would ensure the club went the way of the Dodo.


If we don’t stop trudging all over the country side as Rugby Leagues nomads we may still go the way of the Dodo

. . So do you suggest one home ground, like fortress Leichhardt ? what benefit is that ? It's woefully out of date, parking and travel are a pleasure. We have far more pressing issues than how many different parks we play out of.

Yes, we have a lot of pressing issues but this one could be fixed now.

But what would it fix ? like, genuinely fix . . . apart from some blokes on here that can't seem to let go of selective tradition ?

It would give us a home. Not living 4 months at mums, 4 months at dad's and 4 months in a rental. We're 21 time to grow up.
We're not a club atm , we can't let go of Wests and Balmain.

Fair call, G. Being an ex Magpie, I have no real affinity with Leichhardt. Love the joint venture, but don't have no real affinity with Cambo, either. I don't really think home grounds have the charisma they once did. It's probably only older blokes like me and many of us here that hold certain grounds in esteem. Lidcombe was my Leichhardt, I guess, but that is now irrelevant too. The average younger member/supporter would probably prefer to watch our games at a clean, modern, well appointed stadium where you can't smell the reek of stale urine from 10m away from the toilets.

I'm a Lidcombe boy myself. I look at it this way. Parra has corp facilities for 3000, LO had 300. We need to compete ..

Too funny, as opposed to joint operations at BankWest or ANZ. SFS won’t be any worse and is closer to Wests Ashfield or any future Wests Tigers club at Rozelle.

A side called Wests playing in the Eastern Suburbs? Yep real clear identity there. But even that choice I'd support, just dont think it is the best choice.

Hahahahaha It’s not like it’s at the beach. It’s about a 20 minute walk from Central Station and about 30 minute walk from the CBD. More Park is basically just the outskirts of the CBD. Hardly Eastern Suburbs and right next door to the Sydney Cricket Ground.

It is in the Eastern Suburbs, as is the SCG. Only just but it is definitely not in the Western Suburbs.

I just believe it is the only solution that meets the majority of our needs. I don't mind that others disagree and will keep arguing my points until the decision is made.

Home is just whever you lay your hat. Parra, Homebush or SFS would do but it has to be full-time.

I honestly don't see what is wrong with splitting games, especially when we have a geographically diverse fan base.
