@tiger5150 great post and good call.

We have bigger issues - if we have 1 or 2 seasons of winning and selling both grounds out- that's a better position to make a call for either:

- push for funding of grounds

- move to modern stadium split with CSS,

- or move to modern stadium full time

That call is best made when we are winning

Glad you said when and not if.

Just want to say that there have been some really good points raised here. Maybe a 8 CSS and 4 LO is the way to go for now. 

I’ll also add that every other time I’ve been in a discussion around this it’s become heated quickly so I normally stay out of it. I appreciate everyone’s respectful approach to different ideals. 

You have no idea how badly I wanted to respond to this post by just swearing at you lol

 

🤣🤣🤣🤣

if you need to go ahead

Unfortunately tone doesn't come across on the forum

The amount of banter posts I've drafted, then deleted because I knew it'll get misconstrued 

 

But I agree with you Ronin, discussion had been very respectful and thoughtful.

One of the CommBank games last year had a nrlw game before it. I think the NRL decides which ground best fits their broadcast arrangement but it is definitely an NRL decision and not a club decision.

Ive gotten in trouble for this before over at another forum, but I genuinely think its relevant. Please put your hand up if you have a membership for LO. Either as a LO membership or dual.

Jedi has already put his hand up and I know Garry does.

Mike?
Ronin?
SFS?
Celtic?

Dirty Reds?

I dont raise this to be combative or anything. I raise it because I keep hearing that LO isnt up to standard, but as a LO member, I genuinely think it is the best RL experience in Sydney. The Members seats are the best, Ive never had a problem getting a drink, never had to queue for the bathroom and the parking is as good as any other ground.

 

This is a thread for discussion about these points and its obviously completely valid to have the opposite opinion to me but Im interested if that is backed up by experience as a member at LO because I actually dont understand how it works.

I'm a 12-year LO member, the past 7 or 8 years also dual via "Inner West" membership.

unfortunately not available at any of our home grounds

Guinness is such a great drink. When it’s poured properly it’s magic
