As promised in episode 0138, here’s a poll to collect your thoughts on the potential shift back to Leichhardt and Campbelltown.

I don't see this as a long term option. We need to play at Sydney Olympic Park or even Concord at a better quality stadium. It could work short term.
Not sure.
Long term without major renovations the answer is no.
With this, yes. We need an identity
I’d rather see the poll without “not sure”. A decision needs to be made, the poll should be does the fan base back this decision
I said not sure - because it depends if CS is redeveloped/upgraded into a 30k stadium.
If so - then yes
If not - then no

One homeground ...one Fortress ...turn it into a battleground that every club and every opposition player thinks " Oh Crap ....WT's at WT's this week " and literally wake up sweating from night terrors at the very thought
Am I asking too much ??

If we are winning does it really matter ......Timbuktoo ...Biddlonia .....Gladstone
Too sort of quote the movie "If they start winning ...they will come"

If it's never going to be upgraded then it changing the strategy completely.
We are a professional NRL team.eho needs a professional NRL stadium -
We need to have a stadium where we can average 25-30k a year when we are in the 8
So if a new stadium isn't built at CS or Liverpool.
We need to play 8 games (ideally all v Sydney clubs) at either bankwest, homebush or sfs.
With 2 at CS and LO each
(In this scenario we can't spread ourselves to magic round and tamworth)
Regarding which stadium?
1. Homebush better location but bad atmosphere
2 SFS better size and atmosphere but in inner city away from our growth area
3. WSS is better size and atmosphere but too aligned with Parramatta
Of these three I think WWS. It is the one closets to our growth area, with the right size and fan atmosphere.
I honestly think the main issue with this stadium is currently Parramatta is going well and currently we aren't. If it was flipped, we could own the joint and pack it out.

If we make the 8 for 2 years in a row, we will show we are a bigger club than Parramatta. And we can dominate the WSS and make Parramatta feel like their playing at the Wests Tigers Stadium.
But seriously, key decisions like homegroudns need to be made from an overall strategy or vision. If we are basing ourselves as a truly western Sydney club with our future in the South West, we need to play at the best stadium located as close to that area - which at the moment is WSS.
