8 at a new CSS and 4 at LO and I am more than happy.
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
I’d like an even split b/w lo and css
If we can get a new CSS I would be ok with LO getting 3-4 games.

By splitting the games evenly you’re still confronted with the same old vexed question.Where is our home ground?I believe a line has to be drawn and Campbelltown declared home,then you can play with ratios for Leichhardt without dispensing with the Old Girl.Love Leichhardt but Macarthur and the south western corridor is where we have to consolidate for future survival.

Its not going to be quite as simple as that but I can see a situation where we are based in the Inner Wests but playing the majority of games out in the MacArthur. It doesn't quite get rid of our ambiguous identity but it does simplify it a little. It would then depend if the MacArthur is willing to accept a team that only visit on the weekend.

That’s correct Garry, while I understand the logic of this decision (if proves accurate), it just continues 40 plus years of dabbling in Campbelltown but not really jumping in.
HQ is in Concord, we should play at Homebush and be done with the whole thing.

I think we all know my opinion on playing at Stadium Australia. lol

Just happy to have a home ground that’s not next to another clubs present or future leagues club.
I'd be happy with Campbelltown if the stadium got rebuilt.
Agreed. I'd sign up for 9 games at a revamped CSS and 3 at Leichhardt.
Good points you make,and what I was alluding to was a need for simplification of our ambiguous identity.If there was an easy fix though,I guess it would’ve been found.
I remember when Grant Mayer was CEO,and publicly threatened the supporters,saying if they didn’t turn up to games at Campbelltown they would be taken away from them.Talk about managerial stupidity.Really alienated a lot of people,and created a lot of bad blood at a time when we needed unity.
I don’t know what the win/loss percentages are at Campbelltown,but it’s never really been a happy hunting ground.We really need to develop the fortress mentality for home ground,and I just don’t believe that can ever be attained playing out of multiple or shared venues.We have to build that fortress.

Agree, one home ground would be best.

I'd be ok with that.

Really like to see a fulls traffic approach to the geographical issue.
Need to do more in the south West than just play more games there.
The youth academy is a good start.
We need to visually embed ourselves there

Couldn’t agree anymore. Happy to go to the CSS and watch games but this is just lip service. HQ is concord so Homebush or the SFS is the logical choice for home grounds. It’s between these two. CSS & LO to have 1 game each for tradition and for the old timers like @Garry. 1 game at Tamworth and 1 for Magic Round. I can’t see CSS as the future, it’s a backwards step.
