Mate that would do me,but the guys at the top end of town with the big dollars want a bit of luxury for them and their wives,so that is what you need to cater for.
Clubs need the sponsorhip so they can't tell them to POQ,not right but thats how it is.

Don't forget also that a lot of the "corporate sponsors" use the facility to bring their own clients and potential clients that they are trying to win over as well as using it as a good networking opportunity. The corporate suites aren't just for footy fans with some money, a lot of the people in those suites use the facilities as a business tool.

Why are the Tigers persisting with their Leagues club development, if not to filter that money back into the local stadium?

Surely a few Million from the development could build a toilet or two at LO.

They need to increse revenue streams. Upgrading LO is by no means a guarenteed way to do that.

That's the truth if the matter. That is where the money comes from.

LO belongs to Leichhardt council so i guess its up to them or state and federal government to fund any ungrades.

Heard on the news last night the Tigers will be taking some of their ANZ Stadium games to the SFS for 2009. I don't know how many but I would suggest 3 out of the 6 Homebush games be moved.

It looks like Gallop wasn't BSing when he said the NRL is working with some clubs to move games away from ANZ Stadium.

Good stuff Tigers!

SFS is great for us inner-city dwelling Tigers fans but a kick in the guts for people commuting from further West. At least ANZ was more conveniently located for all supporters, even if most happened to hate it. Well, I suppose the further traveling distance will be compensated for by the better atmosphere that SFS produces.

3 SFS
3 Homebush
3 Leichhardt
3 Campbelltown

SFS--should be our monday night ground,finish work up to surry hills the land of the 5 dollar steak a couple of quick Yougoonahs and than out to the game

 

[ucantseeme]

If it is split 3/3 with ANZ/SFS they should break up the games like this.

ANZ -> Tigers vs Bulldogs/Parramatta/Penrith (basically because of geography)

SFS -> Tigers vs Roosters/Rabbitohs/Dragons

 

[macnaz]

Because some of the facilites are equivalent to third world India. You cannot expect corporate sponsers to be subjected to the toilets and lack of big screens,car parking and public transport options for the amount of money they tip in.It needs to be fixed up properly in order for more games to be played there.

Well i was almost convinced in believing that this statement was true until i watched the parra and manly games, but now i will explain why that comment means nothing.
Firstly can anyone remember ever seeing such heartless performances 2 games in a row at LO or even Cambo, they may have been beaten but they would always show some pride and fight in front of a crowd they would have to walk thru to get into the ground and on the paddock could now nearly feel them on there backs and hear the disapointment so clearly from their diehard fans. Then look at ANZ, they arrive thru a back entrance away from the fans then they play the game with fans blending into the distant like specks of mixed colours and the muffled meaningess sounds of the supporters wouldnt wake them from a sleep let alone inspire them to dig deep and give it their all!
So from that observation i am 100% certain a home ground generates passion and pride thus producing WINS. WINS yes wins, sponsors want to asociate themselves with WINNERS and not the size of the box that the guy in the tie that signs the cheque may only ever visit once! Come on half the time some smuck that knows the cleaner who is friends of the secretary ends up pissing on in the box half the time anyway.(me included)
Ok its 2005 and we have small boxes available at LO and now some fantastic boxes in 2008 at ANZ. Which one would attract the most money????? Who does the money man pick...the winners or the losers.??
Now in 2009 we add yet another home ground, thats 5 grounds including where we train, a recipe for disaster IMO.

Obviously you have forgotten the result against the warriors this year,or against souths and manly last year. Playing at leichardt is no guarantee of victory.

No i havnt forgotten at all, that supports my arguement that having 100 homegrounds detroys the teams ties to there true home base. They need to refind that homeground advantage by playing there more. Anyway in those loses u speak of we didnt get smashed by 40.

 

[tackled]

I refuse to go any game that is not a true home ground. Most of those have a grassed area where we can sit there enjoy the game while the kids run around instead of trying to make them sit still & not disturb everyone.

A drop in the gate fee might entice a few more bums on seats as well, it's way to expensive for a family to attend on a regular basis.

but getting belted by just over 30 in a match to qualify for the finals, against Souths, who got into the finals because of this victory, isn't as bad?

Anyway my point is having a true home ground is nothing but a positive, am i wrong to believe that??

 

[macnaz]

I watched the LO game against the sharks from a corporate box belonging to one of our main sponsors. The marketing manager told me he didnt like ANZ because of the game view and LO was best for games and down a little on the catering side BUT he said the best all round was good old Cambo!! that was a surprise to me ..Good onya Cambo crew.
