I’d like to echo the comments of some of you guys - if we move to SFS I’m buying a ticketed membership that day.
It looks amazing, that’s the venue that boosts our image ten fold.

I'd be happy to align ourselves with the Inner City/ out to say Auburn area.
I think it's time to leave the Campbelltown area and concentrate on the above areas.
As an old Magpies supporter, I'm happy to now let it go for the better good of the Wests Tigers.
We have to establish an Identity and having to try and placate 2 separate areas is not working.
The area is separated by intervening Clubs territories, eg, Parramatta, Bulldogs and to try and ignore that is madness.
I'd be happy with an SFS move......

Except it's the Roosters ground.

@garry it’s the tax payers of NSW same as Commbank this is how I view the whole narrative , if there is a world class facility available us it ..
@garry if we’re being honest the SFS was primarily built for Rugby Union.
The Roosters will be as much visitors there as much as we would be, sign or no sign.

That is kind of my point, people don't want CommBank because it is Parra's stadium but want the new SFS despite it having a massive sign saying it is the home of the Roosters.

Yeah, I think I can look past that when I weigh up the bigger opportunity at our disposal.

I disagree with this and Im from the Balmain side of history. I can see the fact that we have struggled to attract crowds to Campbelltown since inception and Magpies did before that, but it is too big and important area to abandon for the sake of something as ephemeral and vague as "identity". Our link to that area is an asset. Its not translating to crowds or wins but there is a large chunk of population there, and a very large Polynesian population out there. If we abandon it, we will be toast IMO.
A LARGE chunk of any future potential recovery let alone success is going to be home grown juniors and to abandon such a large and potentially rich source of junior talent would be self harm.
I’d like to know from those not too interested in the SFS what their optimum home ground solution looks like given that there’s no upgrade currently proposed for either LO or CSS.

I already have mine.

I’d like to know from those not too interested in the SFS what their optimum home ground solution looks like given that there’s no upgrade currently proposed for either LO or CSS.
My order of preference would be
LO/CSS split with CSS rebuilt or largely upgraded (I'd commit to playing more games there as a process to trying to get funding)
CommBank
SFS
Hell
ANZ

In the absence of an upgrade playing the majority of our games at LO and CSS would be commercial suicide for the club.
LO is literally a death trap and there’s no evidence we have a significant number of fans in the Macarthur.
Also I’m interested why CommBank is above SFS.
@garry but it never has been and never will be really. SFS has always been kind of neutral with bunnies and Roosters even we used in in 2010 -2012 I think. We may as well use it again but also have some LO and CSS games

It's not in the Eastern Suburbs and is the right size.

Roosters don't want the Bunnies there.
