Thats just silly... They are simply reducing there potential yeild. AFL & the NRL need to understand they will 'BOTH' survive in the Western Sydney corridor and should work together to maximise crowd numbers.
Lack of vision and a siege mentality was the main reason we had the ARL War!!!

Had a look at the ground being developed at Homebush on the Daily Telegraph website this morning. The site will be the homeground for the Greater Western Sydney AFL club. It looks good. I believe it is beiing developed usinf State Government money. Wouldn't it have been handy to have such a development built for NRL teams, particularly Wests Tigers. Homebush offers an approximate focal point for Wests Tigers supporters, the ground is more compact than ANZ Stadium and offers parking and transport access. Ask Ink has said, 'can't wait for the day we have one ground only."

As i have stated before, there should be no monday nite games at campbelltown.. M5 traffic makes it very hard to get to. Campbelltown didnt get a day game last year and deserve one for 2012. Keep monday nite games for sfs where city workers can go after work.
We're playing the best drawing teams at the SFS, no doubt channel 9 will opt for some of these
Cant wait for the day we have ONE ground only/.

Could not agree more. They will both do better if they work together.
2 million people live in the western suburbs of sydney, both can easily thrive in the area.
Im a league fan first and foremost, but love all sports, and appreciate what AFL has done for junior sport in the west pumping money and energy and getting kids on the sporting fields.

Agree, while I live at Penrith and I don't mind the drive down to Cambo, getting there from the City where I work on a Monday night is Hell!
SFS should have the Monday night & Friday Night Games and leave Leichardt and Cambo for the Saturday/Sunday Games.

Very uninteresting opponents for Leichhardt, with two out of town teams and two with no following. What about Souths, Saints or Manly? Something to generate some passion and atmosphere? Cambo has a couple of great fixtures and the crowd will play major roles at both. Poor effort front office, the best suburban ground deserved better
I think they have got it exactly correct. You have to play to Roosters at either Campbelltown or Leichhardt. There are many Penrith and Parramatta fans in Campelltown area plus they are on the outer borders of Wests Tigers.
There could be an argument to move Manly to Leichhardt/Campbelltown and move Cronulla back to the SFS, however you have to play Souths, Dragons, Dogs, Broncos at the SFS/SCG as they are massive games and beyond the capacity of Leichhardt/Campbelltown.
In addition, SFS gets to pick its allocation. Looks like Parra is now on the nose with the SFS after a dramatic fall from the high of the infamous clash in 2009. Lovely.....downward spiral into oblivion....

Allocations are pretty much as expected. Good to have the two Western Sydney derbies at Campbelltown as well.
No doubt the Parramatta match will be played on a Monday night. Nothing brings young families to a rugby league match like a Monday night in the middle of winter.

Thanks for the info wtfl just as important to remember this Magpies victory over souths, I'll drag out my Wests heritage jersey for the game.

Glad to see we aren't playing the roosters at the SFS, smart move imo.
