Time to move Wests Tigers to Perth

Tigers should just commit to play all home games at Commbank. It's a direct train ride from most of the southwest, and it's not that far from the Inner West as well. I was always opposed to groundsharing and in favour of suburban grounds in the past but the last few years of the club clinging onto yesteryear have made me realise it's time to move forward.
It's such an obvious choice, but I'm afraid we are run by complete morons.

You need to make a choice at least. One thing you guys should definitely do is forget about Leichhardt. Sure some of your boomer supporters might like the nostalgia but what does it achieve for your club?
We should have been playing fulltime at Homebush for at least the last 15 years. Now that Commbank is a possibility then they need to pick one of the 2. LO is a state cup venue.

No idea what the answer is to fix the Tigers, but they’re under represented in MacArthur and overstretched everywhere else. Leichhardt, Campbelltown, Parramatta, Homebush & Concord.
Homebush is the closest to most of our fans, but too big. If we went there in 2000 we could have made it a fortress and forged ahead with a proper identity as a merged club rather than appeasing two separate fan bases. We could have even been averaging 30k home crowds at this point if we'd been managed properly.

AFL tried to develop the MacArthur area last century and it fell flat.
Outside of the Swans in the Eastern suburbs AFL doesn’t seem to take off.
