I go to all 3 stadiums as a season ticket holder if it is just CSS or just LO then I woukd rethink purchasing a season ticket. 

The club has one shot at this, if they get it wrong it could alienate half a supporter base abd ultimately send the club out the back door over time

I don’t think it will be one home ground.

I am not expecting 1 ground, next year maybe a holding pattern.

@garry are you thinking a 6 css and 3 LO split or do you think Accor or sfs

I'm not sure of the split but am expecting traditional homegrounds in 2024.

If they are smart they will be looking at the new SFS when it’s operational. I know I can’t wait to get a look at what will be the best ground to watch Rugby League is like.

He's absolutely correct in what he is saying too, the decision to spend $300M on a completely unnecessary new stadium for Penrith is the latest example of pork barreling by the state government in a marginal seat and the Tigers should be pushing against this as hard as we can.

Not only that, Ayres was trying to get an extra $200m to put a roof on it.

At this point in time, I don't think it will make a difference to the decision.

That's even worse, ICAC should be all over this.

Been saying like forever that neither Leichhardt or the CSS will be upgraded.

It’s all about politics and both sites are in the wrong location for money to be allocated. 

SFS is looking pretty special after it’s upgrade. Looking forward to the first game there.

I’m sure the facilities will be top shelf Mike,unfortunately that won’t atone for the fact that we’d still be playing in Rooster spiritual epicentre.Where does that leave our footprint?I just don’t believe we can afford to intertwine ourselves with whichever entities choose to play out of the SFS.We need our own fortress,a place that oppositions dread not a neutral venue where there is no semblance of advantage.

The chairman was emphatic on his belief that we should be moving more toward the south west. I assume this means we will be LO/CSS but just lumped with literally the worst stadiums in the competition
