There goes our home advantage against the tigers, who's next, the dogs?
It's still our home ground, and in the heart of Parramatta - most of the Parra fans could probably walk there, or in the near future catch a light rail for a few stops to get there. It's still a long way from Campbelltown.
I don’t know why Tigers do not move to Campbelltown permanently? They have no identity at present. Where do they truly see themselves in 5-10years?
Playing from MacArthur they can utilise Liverpool thru Casula down to Narellen & Camden, then new developments in Leppington, Oran Park etc.
Just a small bit of foresight from the NRL would see this is such a booming area of Sydney tht they should get in early & establish roots into the game
Agree KA, its not a good look, its not healthy for the tribalism of the game either.
Fuck sharing dressing rooms weekly with another team, that should be our sacred turf, the dressing sheds should be lit up in our club colours for half the year.
Who takes the home dressing room when we play each other?
Never understood the fascination with the WSW and their fan base. Sure they get a decent number, but if you have done some research, we average 3k more than they do (2017 and v 2017/18). So technically we actually need the bigger stadium not them. We also have our roots embedded in the area Parramatta Eels, the stadium is located in Parra. Also, ANZ obviously will out do the new Eels stadium, talking about a 500 million difference in spending money, thats like a Toyota Camry racing a Mercedes AMG. Can't compare apples and oranges.
This however also, lays another issue, Sydney just does not have enough fans to house all these teams and enough space. I doubt we are very far away from a few teams either losing their franchise license or having to algamate with another club.
Agreed; i thought this stadium at Parra was for Us and the wanderers. Not another NRL club. Totally agree with the sentiments here.
