NEW DEAL SIGNED WITH SCG TRUST



Monday, 2 November 2009
Wests Tigers has signed a new three-year deal with the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust.
The deal sees four marquee games to be played at the Sydney Football Stadium and Sydney Cricket Ground until the end of the 2013 season.
Wests Tigers were already locked in with the SCG Trust for 2010. Last week, Wests Tigers and the SCG Trust re-negotiated a new deal that sees the club playing four home matches each at Campbelltown Stadium and Leichhardt Oval next season.
The agreement follows Wests Tigers highly successful debut home season at the SFS and SCG in 2009 where the average attendance was almost 21,000 fans.
In 2009, Wests Tigers broke its home crowd record when 29,970 fans attended the clash with South Sydney at the SCG in May.
This record was later smashed when 34,272 fans, strongly decked out in their gold, black and white colours, watched the thrilling encounter with Parramatta at the SFS in August.
Wests Tigers Chief Executive Stephen Humphreys said the three annual games at the SFS and the fourth fixture at the SCG were important to the club and its fans.
“Playing at major venues like the SFS and SCG is an aspect of our business we clearly need to retain,” said Mr Humphreys.
“We feel it is important to settle into a permanent home ground for these four marquee games. It gives us stability.
“The SCG match against Souths has become one of the real blockbusters on the rugby league calendar and has its own identity now. The match has attracted crowds of around 30,000 each over the past two seasons.
“We were very pleased with the SFS experience this season and were happy to extend for a further three years rather than open up to potential offers to keep moving around.
“The feedback from the players and the coaching staff was that the SFS was a great venue to play out of.
“Playing three marquee matches at the SFS gives Wests Tigers the maximum opportunity to allow all fans to be able to watch the games in comfort at one of Sydney’s premier sporting venues.’’
SCG Trust Chief Executive, Jamie Barkley, said the Trust was delighted to extend Wests Tigers partnership. The new agreement with Wests Tigers further increases the Trust’s strong rugby league association which also includes Sydney Roosters home games, NRL finals series fixtures and Australian Kangaroo internationals.
“Wests Tigers play an attractive, attacking style of rugby league which excites NRL fans,” said Mr Barkley.
“Fans love to see Wests Tigers in action at our venues and this was clearly evidenced by the record home crowds they drew to the SCG and SFS in the 2009 season.
“Fans can now enjoy watching Wests Tigers at Sydney’s number one NRL venue, the SFS, plus at rugby league’s traditional home, the SCG,” added Mr Barkley.
“We are happy to partner and assist Wests Tigers play games at Campbelltown and Leichhardt in 2010 and look forward to working with the club over the next four years.
“Wests Tigers’ four annual games at the SFS and SCG will be their four marquee games of each season, and this concept is an initiative which excites Wests Tigers and NRL fans.
“These four games will clearly appeal to the wider rugby league fan base and stand out as the match of the round.”

Does anyone else hate the SCG? I went to the souths game last year paid top $ for tickets & pretty much needed binoculars to see the action. I Could barely see the replays due to the angles of the big screens. If im going to do the trek into Moore Park I'd much rather watch the game at the SFS on a proper rectangular ground where I can actually make out the numbers on the players backs.

I agree, rubbish ground, view is f**king terrible.

The SCG is terrible for Rugby League.

The Wests vs Souths game should be played at Leichhardt Oval.

I loved the game at the SCG great atmosphere and great view - was in members area though....

 

[RoMo]

I loved Dr Death sending Galloway back out to further f**k his knee
I loved Todd Payten f**king about with it and then losing it when all he had to do was set for a field goal
I loved getting done by those crystal meth smoking, housing commission soufs scumbags
What a great day .. lets go back for more !!

 

[N.C.]

There's no such place as "housing commission" these days RoMo. You're living in the past again...

 

[RoMo]

What is it called now then ?
You know the places where people who are too poor, scummy and low to fund their own housing get Johnny taxpayer to subsidise it for them ..

Balmain?

Good on the WT though for going down the nostalgic path - the atmosphere was electric this year.

Housing NSW.

Same sh*t, its housing commission.

Would you prefer your tax dollars to fund a war or something?

And being poor isn't enough to get you on the waiting list anymore...

Housing NSW.

Same sh*t, its housing commission.

Some of us prefer to call it Unhousing NSW...

It was funny listening to houso scum complaining when the paedo was moved into Ryde.

Here's a hot tip. If you can't afford a house than shut the f**k up or pack your illegitimate half breed mongoloids up and camp out at the soup kitchen where they will spend their adult lives (when they are not sucking c**k for drug money)

 

[N.C.]

You sound just like a state Labor politician, Gronk. But you'd do well to heed your own advice. Clearly, you've left a couple of brain cells behind in the last cabinet reshuffle.

 

[gronkathon]

Did they kick you out of your houso bedsit N.C.?

Or is that you Rock Spider Fergurson?

 

[innsaneink]

Well this threads certainly taken a sad turn...

I find it ironic certain posters taking potshots at social security & houso....what we are doing by taking our games to these grounds is exactly the same, thus why we have to put up with crap grounds like the SCG. Roll over and take the money, you relinquish control of your destiny

 

[gronkathon]

Good coin to play at a stadium is nothing like unemployed Houso scum Inky poo

The SCG is terrible for Rugby League.

The Wests vs Souths game should be played at Leichhardt Oval.

NRL would ban it theyre going to force sides play their big games at moore park or homebush , also having that game at the SCG on a nice day we can fit in 10000+ more people which is much needed money for the club

 

[King Tigerman]

also the SCG is the traditional home of rugby league if they have no more than 3 games per year its good for the game
