try and upgrade LO and CSS

Any upgrades on stadiums are provided with state funding, the local council will only contribute a very small amount of funding. We probably won’t get any upgrades on LO or CSS for a long time.

I know, just living I hope really... as an upgrade to LO & css would suit our needs

Thursday night is for TV watching only.
Bad night to go to footy, like Monday.
But as long as ratings ok, crowd is irrelevant.
You can trace that all the way back to Amco Cup days, most games at Leichhardt very sparse crowd but ratings good.
Except when the the Tigers were doing well, then Leichhardt bursting.

Homebush on a Thursday night is a white elephant. PVL knows it. It's a bad look for the game and the very reason why he supports maintaining suburban grounds.

It's all good to hope for upgrades but we are better off going to Accor and earning the money while we hope.

Was expecting it to bucket down today so am not making the game live but wet Leichardt is much worse then wet Accor.

If they could get a roof at Accor and bring the inner bowl in - even if it's not next yr but in the next 10 yrs then it'll be a great home ground. Parking is so easy, public transport is great, lots of food options, pubs just outside the ground and a stadium membership gets you into lots of things not just tigers games (that's my plan if Tigers move their).

agree fixing the bowl and adding a roof woukd make Accor worthwhile and a good homeground

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

The good thing about Homebush that its even Soul less for the home team...

 

[gallagher]

We can't win there either

Agreed, and was going to take the young bloke down to watch today's game until he popped his kneecap again yesterday afternoon.

We can jump on a train from our nearest station at Wyee and relax watching a movie on a journey that is included in the admission price, instead of me getting frustrated with the weekend drivers on the freeway.

And, of course, if todays game were the 7.30 kick off there would have been double the crowd.

Honestly Cambo Council should just gift us the land for the stadium and running track - taking majority of our home games there is great for the local economy. I'm sure Shano & Vlandy's agree with this.

The running track could be developed with 1,000 meriton apartments or more which can offset the development of our new niche 20,000 seat stadium - West Leichhardt Oval. Restaurants and Bars to be run by HBG diversifying there revenue streams. NRL will also want a stake in the small boutique hotel thats located on the premises.

If Cronulla can do things like this, we can do something similar with some help. Right

Growing their supporter base in Sydney from 2025 does not sound promising we need a consistent home ground in campbelltown stadium once they add a 25 to 30 thousand upgrade to the stadium. I can not deal with them playing at accor or commbank have we not learnt anything from the past. Playing at SFS I can deal with temporary but that won't happen.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Growth starts with winning football games - like 3 in a row from year to year....

The only thing worse than giving up a home game to Magic Round is doing so against a Qld team. Whatever financial incentive we receive can be offset by increasing membership fees. I'd gladly pay more if it meant not giving away home games.

It’s here to stay mate and we end up with the rough end of the pineapple ( pardon the pun) again.
At least we have performed ok up there in many games. Let’s hope we can squeeze out a victory.

I understand the Dragons have the bye this week because they told the NRL to sod off when they were approached to give up a home game for Magic Round …

Good for them I say … The Tigers seem to be a team that always give up a home game … surely it should be once every second year ?

We won’t be giving up much moving forward based on Richo comments. He has already said no to Vegas, no to Tamworth and I expect he will say a few more no’s over next few months to set a direction.

Goes to show how bad the previous decision makers were at the club.
