Stop the rot!
SAVE LEICHHARDT OVAL!
23rd April 2004


Leichhardt Oval has been the Tigers home since 1934. There’s no better place to watch footy. But Leichhardt Oval is in urgent need of repair.
We need the Government to lend a hand.

This Sunday (25th April 04) when the Eagles take on the Tigers at Leichhardt Oval we will be launching our campaign to save Leichhardt Oval. We’ll be handing out petitions to pressure the state government to get behind us in our quest to secure Leichhardt Oval not only as a football ground but also as a community asset for many years to come.

In a game that is crying out for its traditions what better tradition is there than Sunday afternoon footy at Leichhardt oval. Please lend your support to our cause.

Please note that this is a supporter’s initiative and although both the Wests Tigers and Balmain Tigers football clubs are supporting us, the fans are driving this.

The two small Mary st stands will be pulled down (they would have before the manly game but a bloke had a heart attack in the council metting to pass the motion so the meeting got called off... Can you believe it?) The main stand is fine but the facilities (toilets, disabled access etc) needs addressing.. Also if the ground was lazer leveled it could be used for locals schools sports carnivals (School sport facilites in the area are shocking) and other sports in summer and community evens (fairs/carols by candlelight). We are commited to the JV and just want the games at both venues to be the best they can be and want a true traditional ground to stay, you just can't beat it for atmos and not to piss you guys pockets but particularly against a traditional rival sides like yourselves. Me and the save LO boys are targeting our round 12 clash with you blokes as one our biggest days... Avatar bet anyone?

I hope the campaign launch went well on Sunday, RifRaf.

All the very best with your fight to save Leichhardt. I can't imagine the game without it. In these days of upheaval, we need traditions like this to keep us on track. I would truly hate to see it go.
