STADIUM PLANS
The Wests Tigers look like they’re going to be playing up to four games a year at CommBank Stadium from next season.
That’s judging by the proposal CEO Shane Richardson put to the board earlier this week.
The pitch for Wests Tigers home games next season was four games at CommBank, four games at Campbelltown, three games at Leichhardt Oval and one game at Suncorp Stadium for Magic Round.
As for our colleague Brent Read’s assertion giving Leichhardt Oval $40 million is like putting lipstick on a pig – it’s time for Ready to get down to OPSM and get a new set of glasses.
Clearly someone has stolen his bifocals so he’s legally blind and can’t see what it means to the thousands of Wests Tigers members and fans who turn up at the Eighth Wonder of the World no matter what.
Tribalism and tradition are two of the best things about rugby league.
There’s nothing better than the old school charm of suburban football at Leichhardt Oval, Penrith, Shark Park, Brookvale Oval, Jubilee Oval, Redcliffe or Wollongong.
Lipstick on a pig is standing behind the glass of a corporate box where you can hear a pin drop and pretending you’re interested in the game.
Thank goodness Peter V’landys and Andrew Abdo are huge supporters of suburban grounds.
