4 of us coming from Canowindra. Can't wait! It's my favourite place to watch the Tigers play!TIME FOR CAMPBELLTOWN TIGERS TO STEP UP
Okay, fair enough, Leichhardt Oval is decaying and may fail short of NRL ground standards within the next year so how about Wests Tigers’ Macarthur fan base start coming out in numbers?
At least the Leichhardt faithful actually make an effort to attend games.
The Campbelltown fans seem to complain a lot about a lack of footy but never turn up when games are scheduled for Sydney’s south west.
The average crowd at Campbelltown Stadium over the past two years has been a modest 9464. The Leichhardt average during the same period was 13,500.
Leichhardt pulled 16,000 fans last week. It was magic. Campbelltown’s biggest crowd since 2022 was 11,201.
We keep getting told Macarthur is a burgeoning area for rugby league.
How about the Macarthur supporters actually prove to the NRL that they deserve more games.
If they don’t, then there’s no way Campbelltown should get more games if Leichhardt is closed for NRL matches.
Wests Tigers play at Campbelltown in round six against St George Illawarra before returning again in round eight against Brisbane.
Let’s see how many fans turn up.
