How disappointing of and for any one associated with the Wests Tigers and Westerns Suburbs clubs. Sure, it was a Parra home game but they were comprehensively outnumbered at the venue by what looked like 9:1. And the players to dish that up at a venue they will be calling home and most likely to play their biggest matches.
The venue itself....from what I could hear coming through the speakers, you’d think the designers of the new SFS will be reconsidering their designs. Here’s a tip, as with most things, food, motors, music, etc, it’s not about quantity but quality. There’s a bit of pressure on the firm putting together new SFS to be as good as Cumberland Oval. Another 45k spaceship with folks up in nose bleeds on the sides and bullshit little tiers at ends, and crappy club mode LED curtains or whatever BS in a cavernous arena filled 3 times a year won’t cut it. Get it the same level all the way round, get some decent cover and replicate the atmosphere and experience that the guys who built New Cumberland Oval have achieved. Anyone who watched that will want to experience it and I’m scouring the draw now to see when Souths first play there.
