Wests did that experiment years ago, even took Tommy driving the streets spruking up interest to no avail . We are in the process of creating a centre of excellence out there for junior development, so lets see how that goes.
I believe the only reason we have survived losing most games since 05 is because we have supporters who come from clubs who have faced their fair share of adversity.
We've depended on the atmosphere of a packed inner suburban ground.
I don't mind CS, but when I lived in Sydney I'd never make the journey down there and enjoy it. I'm sure Wests supporters may say the same thing travelling to LO. I addressed this when we first started our joint venture.
Our club has a fractured supporter base and the distance between grounds and the fact we don't have NRL, KOE and Flegg teams all WT doesn't help imo.
To destroy nostalgia of LO with send me away for sure.
Do the same at CS would do the same with Western Suburbs supporters too I'd imagine
