I can’t see Campbelltown or Leichhardt  getting an upgrade. They don’t appear to be part of the conversation when stadiums are mentioned, keep hearing Cronulla and Brookvale.

I don't think Cronulla is one of the grounds being discussed.

if campbletown ends up with 10 out of 12 homes games then the club is finished. 

Many people move to Macarthur to start families abd have allegiances to other teams. It never worked with Magpies and it will not work with wests tigers. 

Don't think it will get the big upgrade. 

Best chance is maybe 4 at campbletown and 3 at Leichhardt with the remainder at a big stadium. Corporates want the big stadium and picking just LO and or campbletown puts plenty of supporters out of the game in relation to travel. 

If the club gets this wrong we will be going to campbletown to die. 

Focus on the inner west hold that area you build the club and use the juniors from Macarthur region .If we let the inner west go you lose that to Canterbury

Interesting I can't say where I heard this plans are in development for a retractable roof for Accor stadium at a cost of $120 million out of the proposed $810 million stadium funding from nsw government 

Apparently part of the rugby world cup bid was a retractable roof at Accor stadium o nsw government are keen to make this happen. I understand this is the delay with the funding the government does not want to spend all $810 million on 3 suburban stadiums but want some funding for the rood at Accor stadium and some minor upgrades to corporate boxes and some dining areas, note they are not doing anything to the bowl or the seating gradient etc apart from a slight roll in for rectangular stadium.

The roof doesn't improve Stadium Australia as a venue at all. What a waste of money.

So they can hold mass concert venues and games with no weather elements. Apparently the corporate suites get a good upgrade.

The initial discussion was that it remains an oval shape and cricket is also played at Accor I required but I do believe it will be made into a rectangular stadium from the designs I have seen however at present it could still remain oval configuration and be used for some cricket.

I mean in terms of a venue for us, I also love a concert in the rain.

I know it is a big stadium at 80k but it does cement our hold on the area

I think if the club plays the 5 games at Accor 3 or 2 at LO and 4 or 5 at capbletown it gets a good mix across our supporter base

I don't want 3 stadiums anymore, I would prefer 1 to be honest.

think 1 stadium would be too tough on the club and the club would never win. Campbletown too far away, LO too far away fir some

we need 3 stadiums I think if it is one stadium the drip in season tickets would be significant

Just move to Homebush. It doesn’t tick all the boxes but it does tick more than any other option.

It doesn't tick the most important ones, being a good ground to watch football and being an appropriate size. This makes it the worst option, I would love it if it got the original upgrade.
