So we have hills at our 2 traditional home grounds.

Then prostitute ourselves out for more money to a place with no hill, and have to create a hill feel.

But you are in a seated area where you just stand. So you are paying not to use the seats.

Well Richo is a genius if he get people to pay to pretend a stand with seats is a hill.

 

There are no seats in that area, it is a standing terrace.

It's a safe standing area with removable seats, catering for the Wanderers fans. Same thing is in place at both ends at the new SFS (with Sydney FC in mind). 

They usually have the seats in there for NRL, Rugby etc.

Exactly,  there will be no seats in that area on Easter Monday.

No seats, however due to the steepness of the stadium they need to have the metal balustrades so people are not falling forward every time we score a try and win games, which will hopefully mean they come in handy on a regular basis.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I think the idea of a creating hill(s) at Western Sydney Stadium is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard. Removing seats to create “atmosphere” is just laughable.

Agreed. An actual hill has nostalgic value but this is just removing seats. Most would be standing there wishing they had a seat

I teresting Richo's comments better membership at balmain than campbletown, always thought that had been the case

seems leichardt council are happy with upgrades and 3 or 4 games at LO a year 

seems like 7 to 9 games there in the next 5 years or so and an upgrade to 24k seat stadium

Richo putting the squeeze on council to lock in funding by 30th June

id say classic richo trying to get negotiations happening, think we will get it  

He says we have a plan b probably commbank I guess

they would want to get membership out at CSS better than it is before putting most of our eggs in Campbelltown basket, some of (not me) the LO membership are not members of both stadiums

They believe they need to commit more games to the area to increase membership.
