@tigertownsfs All we have ever wanted was one stadium buy our premium packages and get to the game every other week to our home stadium .
We just can not be bothered any more this multi stadium policy of trying to please everyone is ridiculous after 25 yrs this club just can not get its act together .Thank god for the NBN /large screen Tvs / and Foxtel 4K … getting around this city is a nightmare the club has done us a favour!
@snake I agree. I am just going to keep my tickets at LO, go there 3 or 4 times a year and watch on TV. This is exactly why we only have 10k members. When there is only a handful of games in your area and when the packages cost more that any other club you just buy GA tickets and rock up of the weathers nice.
Richardson's announcement yesterday (I think, because from our $70 seats in Bay 15 with restricted view and barely audible audio) WT committed to NRL being played at LO amd CSS for the next 10-15 years? He didn't mention how many games though. I hope it's as few as possible and just enough to justify the expense to NSW Govt and Local Councils.

Campbelltown council was talking about the need to lock in 7 or 8 games to justify their spend. Will be interesting to see whether the CSS COE is additive ie whether redevelopment at the northern end of CSS will also occur with this redevelopment of the western stand or whether there is double counting happening. We have 12 home games a year, we probably end up close to a 4/4/4 split with a few Sydney derbies at Accor given what the bulldogs have done. Hopefully that comes with some reciprocal at Accor with Souths and bulldogs to improve the value of the memberships. If that’s is where we end up then most could get a 8 game pass, 4 at your chosen heritage stadium and 4 at Accor for the mega games where we all come together as a club. Someone should tell the club that.

I think a requirement to play a certain number of games there was tied to the Campbelltown funding.
The NRLW team will be out of Leichhardt so that will up the use of that ground to justify investment.

The Wests Tigers, in partnership with Inner West Council and Campbelltown City Council, have announced a 15-year Stadium Strategy that will see the club’s NRL and NRLW fixtures played out of Leichhardt Oval and Campbelltown Sports Stadium.

This snippet interests me, I think it means some marquee games will be played elsewhere:
Wests Tigers to continue their work with Inner West Council and Campbelltown City Council regarding the commercial terms of the strategy. These elements include the management of venues during the redevelopment of both venues, the allocation of fixtures year-to-year and the location of annual marquee games.
Min 7 at CSS and 3 and LO. There could be another one at one of these and then sound s like magic round.
2027 build for LO, 2028 for CSS.
small grandstand at north and southern end of CSS
I think an interesting thing from that linked article is that Richardson said (something like) Wests Campbelltown will be a contributor to the WT NRL franchise, which they weren't before. If true, that's a good thing IMO. And, taking that article in good faith, the long-term focus is now on South-West Sydney (Campbelltown Stadium) as opposed to the Inner-West (Leichhardt Stadium). Also appropriate IMO.
What type of shape is the western stand in? Does the grandstand need to be rebuilt?
I'm worried that we will be forgoing hundreds of thousands of dollars for every game for the next 15 years.
We cant compete without money
sounds like 7 CSS and 4 LO plus Easter Monday is looking likely. Hopefully that is Easter Monday at accor.
