we built the COE at Concord, if CSS was the intention then it should have been built out there
If homebush had been reconfigured we would be playing out of there
Still think that is where we will end up
Would hand in my membership if this goes ahead to be honest. The 4 games usually played at bankwest/homebush are usally the big games against the big sydney clubs. Why we would take those games our to campbelltwon meaning no tickets of either away fans or anyone in the inner west where our coe, ownership abd where the 2 clubs are from historically is crazy We currently cover everywhere from Balmain out to Campbelltown and we are looking to give up effectively everything west of Liverpool to play at a ground thay gets 9k crowds.
My preference is to maintain the current right ground right game approach but if they want 1 ground then make it Homebush or Bankwest

I agree with your first point. Seems a lack of long term thinking when you’re building a brilliant COE at Concord then predominantly moving out to Campbelltown. Yes it’s doable but it’s definitely not ideal.
Though I don’t have an answer because I can see positives and negatives for every option put forward.

Im willing to bet that long term planning had nothing to do with the CoE being built at Concord. More likely a confluence of available land, local and state government will and $$$$. Its likely that this lucky confluence of factors may not have been available at Campbelltown.
a fulltime move to campbletown I would probably not bother with season tickets I have had since day 1 at all venues
the club has a very big decision to make, at present we cover inner west and campbletown, if we make the wrong move you give up inner west, historically Magpies were Lidcombe

I agree, if they fixed Homebush that would be perfect but they aren't going to do that.
I think COE at Concord could work as it allows players to live in area that is probably more desirable for young footballers, but that would be reliant on the fanbase getting behind the move. If it involves a new stadium then I am all for it.

When ever this topic comes up and people state we need "ONE HOME GROUND", I always ask why and never get any answer other than a vague belief that if we have one ground everything will somehow come good and we win games.
I actually think the current set up works. We maintain the traditional ground and a large chunk of fans love that. We have the big grounds for the big drawing games and the Stadia pays us $$$$ for the privilege. Not really sure what the problem is or what part of that is stopping us from winning games.

I am ready for us to have a homeground.

That is why it is such a hard decisions because there is no ideal option.

We wouldn't be playing any less games in the Inner West than we do now?

That’s true. Parramatta is certainly not inner west, glad to see us leave that place.

A trip to the football is an experience for me, it is not just about the game it is talking to the people around and building relationships with those people over a large number of years. Playing at as many grounds as we do dilutes that greatly, but that is just personal as are everyone's reason for their preference which is why this issue is a constant discussion.

If it does involve a new stadium I would like to see a much different design to Western Sydney Stadium.

one home ground as long as it is Leichardt or one home ground as log as it is campbletown
we are two areas, if we do go traditional then it has to be 50-50 split, if all you do is throw LO a token 3 games and campbletown 9 that will leave plenty of fans annoyed.
interesting if the club publish memberships and where they are from and also membership numbers at LO and CSS
Agree Parramatta is not a home ground right next to Parramatta leagues club

And when LO is no longer suitable?
