Where do you want us to play?

[Cultured_Bogan]

I went ANZ as it is easily accessible by car and public transport.

We get paid a good flat fee to play there to a certain attendance figure, and then it ratchets up again.

With some sustained success, a regular 30K to 40K attendance by WT fans against other large Sydney sides like Canterbury, Souths, the Dragons and Parramatta we could notch 50K plus figures.

I think Ashfield has made a determination on LO and CSS not being the future. BankWest is Parra's home ground. I can see the point that the SFS could easily be taken over by Wests since the Chooks have two blokes and a brown dog supporting them but it's not as easy to access. Homebush is a lot more central to the WT fan base.

combination of both LO and CSS.....They are our true grounds and the only real time we ever get home field advantage.

Good to see the club is going to hell in a handbasket then - 38 votes tallied so far and not more than 8 in any one category.

I.e. management makes a choice and it's not the preferred option of 80% of fans!

 

[WT2K]

@Cultured_Bogan voted Homebush too. Same reasons.

 

[Chainlink]

BankWest or Homebush full time until they can bring LO/CS up to professional standard. If that ever happens (it won’t) then 50/50 LO/CS.

One thing is for sure, WankBest is on the nose.

The club has to make that decision doesn’t matter what we think one home ground they select it ,there will be disappointment regardless . This poll will just keep the merry go round going . I have given up just pick a ground !

Here, Here!!!!

I don't want us to play at a ground that is 3/4 empty for most of our games!

 

[Harvey]

I went other. Would like to see 8-10 games at either ANZ or the new SFS with the remainder split between the traditional home grounds.

If I had to make a decision would probably go SFS in the short terms as transport to the city is easy & we would go close to filling it if we were having a good season.

 

[innsaneink]

The variety of differing responses imo shows our problem.... Too many choices.
The club failing to address this problem early on in its attempt to appease all has created this monster.
Weak Admin... Much like govts passing the buck not addressing tough issues while in office... "into the too hard basket! leave it for the next mob because we won't be here for too long because really the only people that give two Darren Britts about the club is the fans, and they have zilch zero zip say in us admin"

Only time we would fill it is for a Grand Final and that wouldn't be us filling it!

I was a WT member when we played out of Allianz, it was a great ground for atmosphere, but terrible to get in and out of, especially Friday night..then we moved to ANZ, I found getting in and out much easier( I lived in Strathfield), always found off street parking. No real atmosphere at ANZ, but was a comfortable venue to watch sport. As a Member for BankWest home games, I liked we were close to the action, but it never once felt like “home”, atmosphere was average, most probably due to the fact we played poorly...I now live at Birchgrove and getting to BankWest is only doable via public transport ( no public parking) and takes 1.5 hrs in and out, am not sold on BankWest, it reminded me when we were Sydney Tigers and played out of the old Parra stadium, it was a disaster of a decision.

I’d like to see us play 6+6 at our traditional home grounds, if that’s not feasible or possible, then let’s go back to the new ANZ....it will be much better than the “old” ANZ.....

Oops I actually meant the New SFS. That is the one in the city. Will edit

That's if there is any money left, SFS already way over budget, you watch the refurb get downgraded!

BankWest will never feel like a home ground regardless of the digital signage that can change to your favourite team at the flick of a switch. The Eels have claimed it and we bombed there in our first outing. It’s already a psychological barrier for us. Homebush is soulless, and as much as I hate to say, and risk being smashed here, Leichhardt can’t cut it as our No1 ground without serious amenities improvements. I’ve been there with 22,000 and it was amazing but that can’t be sustainable (or accessible) if ever we get successful. I like the idea of say a heritage round there for old time sake in its current state. With some $$$ spent on it, then maybe 2 or 3 games a season. That leaves Campbelltown but probably in need of investment in amenities upgrades again. It has to appeal to families as well as those happy to settle for less. It makes sense to stay close to our junior base or the Panthers and Eels will fight for them. The problem is where our roots lie so it probably still need to be two grounds. I went with CSS and LO on the proviso that an investment is made on making them accessible and for families.

No decent investment will be made on either ground!
