I rarely support Kenty, but he’s on point here. Leichardt needs a upgrade
They could at least spruce the place up a bit by getting permission from the council if they can put a lick of paint around the grandstands, and water pressure clean some of the exposed concrete.
Their not asking for the Taj Mahal just an upgrade. Honestly this is a joke that Leichhardt Oval hasn't already been upgraded about 20 years ago.
exactly, and at this point you’d think there must be some safety issues with a structure that’s been standing for 20 years almost untouched
Keep it. The fans are the backbone of any sport. In rugby league Leichardt is what makes the NRL unique atmosphere wise, when compared to any other sport in Australia. Playing at Accor is an embarrassment to the game, no atmosphere and looks stupid. Souths need a 25k home too. This mistaken happened before in the A League, the higher ups not listening to the fans and taking the financial option over what is best for the fans and therefore, lost half of the fans because of their poor decisions. Don’t let the same thing happen in the nrl. This is Wests Tigers and Rugby League tradition, renovate it a little if you need to but don’t scrap it, otherwise you will lose a lot of fans and the heart of soul of rugby league in Australia.
I fly down from the Sunshine Coast every year to watch footy at Leichhardt, i was there on Saturday and as usual i loved every minute of it.
If you're spending 25mins lining up for a beer you're a Leichhardt rookie.
I spent Thursday night in the Royce Simmons vip lounge watching the Penrith game and the Saturday night on Leichhardt Hill
The Hill wins hands down.
Long live Leichhardt oval ❤
Are you implying that you can avoid waiting 25 minutes for a beer at Leichardt Oval? If so, how?
$55 on the hill rip off
Kent, "Your dad says go for beer, you come back and it's 10 mins to half time"😂
I went to an Amco cup game at Leichardt in the mid 70s. It hasn't changed.
Easts [again] and Parra [again] got beautiful new stadiums ......
Watched the tigers play their ‘home’ game in Hamilton last year vs the wahs. 28,000 people, packed, top quality rugby ground, 60% profit. Awesome experience to see the wahs and I’m sure a great outcome for tigers financially, though their fans do miss that game
Shut up Kentie let the other people speak its not your show
he barely spoke. 🤦♂️
@@user-ct8tc2dd9vbut he does speak over people and hijack conversations
@@user-ct8tc2dd9vHe’s probably an obsessed hater.
@@MegaBadseedwatch the Souths discussion. He speaks over everyone and wants to control the conversation. Nobody is a hater of Kenty lol, but Kenty is a big hater
The only time he didn't speak much was when he was off the air for DV! The guys is a complete F....WIT
Kenty, shout your Mrs an icecream and ask her to line up and buy three beers for you before kick off. Meanwhile, you mind the seats.
Not sure why taxpayers are always being asked to foot the bill for stadiums, it seems to reward incompetent administrators who like to charge high ticket prices and unbelievable prices for F&B, then don’t have to common sense to put a percentage into a Stadium future fund.
Completely true.
I'm sure the club would be appreciative of Mr Kent to turn up and volunteer his time to start painting and be a handyman.
The Wests Tigers are a Business they need to pay for their own stadium upgrades. Its not the job of the Taxpayer to fund this business.
Leave a hill at least. I'm not a Tigers fan but i loved the Tigers playing back at Leichhardt. I was happy for them & i can't stand the club but if they need money & get it done up, please leave a hill, that's footy. It's like taking a hill away from the SCG & Adelaide Oval
The only reason that the big stadiums get a regular face lift, is because the corporate state government ad US vested councils, have friends that are developers and builders , they line their pockets first, then send their money to their shareholders over seas
Leichhardt Campbelltown Accor and commbank I think they probably need one more home ground
Well the West Tigers can pay from it. Why should the tax payer? We have pensioners who have paid taxes all there lives who can't get operations or are living on the street. If teams or there wind bag ceo's want stadiums, let them pay for it.
On point mate
Why would they pay to upgrade a ground that they a) don't own and b) aren’t the only tennant of?
Why penrith yeah with tax payers money and not the tigers?
@@titob81 well they should stop sooking about it and just move to another ground.
@@andreaboscolo2512 it all needs to stop. It's disgusting building these stadiums whom ultimately the proceeds go to private enterprise.
There is something special about suburban footy even with all the downsides it's got soul
They are charging people $55 to stand on a hill and their telling us they cannot afford to rent Portaloo's and paint the change roofs give me a break.
Go ahead and upgrade it. Just don't ask the taxpayers to foot the bill. When we pay taxes, there is a reasonable expectation that our money goes to projects and infrastructure that benefits all Australians (roads, hospitals, schools, etc). I'm tired of tax money being spent of facilities that only benefit private corporations. The NRL clubs want to nationalise the cost of upgrades, but you can be damn sure that they'll privatise the profits. In short, we pay for new stadiums that we can't access, and the clubs keep all of the profits generated by those taxpayer funded facilities. Someone make it make sense.
Its an 80 minute game and Kenty cant last without a beer...ffs 😂
Keep it 100%.
Even if it’s not your team playing it’s still a great footy outing especially in great weather.
Bring a blanket, snacks, sit up on the hill.
Absolutely. I'm a Knights fan from Sydney and I love it.
Gotta win a comp or at least make it to the finals to see more funding, that's why Penrith have got the funding, they won 3 lol.
It’s different when the ground has as much historical significance. But also multi use as it does. It isn’t just being used by the Tigers, it was the training facility for the Matilda’s during the World Cup on top of other codes using it.
@ethanpettit2685 Then it should be easier to get those other codes/clubs to chip in? Split the 30 mill fee
No more Taxpayers money for Stadiums. The NRL Clubs generate more than enough money to pay for their own upgrades.
Why splash tax payer money on an oval that is used 5 times a year??
They need upgrade it but gradually bc the govt clearly don’t want to give money for it and the nrl probably don’t wanna use their own. Like Kenty said start with small improvements like having portaloos and beer/snack tents. Most fans aren’t gonna be asking for them to completely rebuild the stadium right away
Cmon nrl
Help em out
Major sponsors help out
Major sponsors won’t chip in $40million lol
Major sponsors won’t chip in $40 million lol
@@newglorydays-yu6bb why not , how do you know ?
Maybe they could do a fan day a big one at Balmain or Campbelltown or both and create some revenue
Or something else
Even 2-3 million would make a big difference
@@Alekosdw How is that fair to all the other clubs? Tigers need to adhere to the same standards as other clubs. Can't just expect a handout
@@user-xy9ut8gi5f every club can do fan days
I’m just saying ideas
Why u so high and mighty ?
How is it a handout ??
Tigers do plenty for there sponsors
And for the game
Your making it in to somethings it’s not
Sound like another sook
People know what theyre getting ..when you go to the 8th wonder you know you may have 2 line up for a slash or food??
Kenty quick to speak but slow to listen
Tigers died when Balmain died
Wests put in 90% of the money, yet the Tigers supporters of old are trying to play the tune in which I think is not their call. Wests could give the Tigers the flick, and move back to either Lidcombe Oval, or go halves in a huge stadium in Liverpool with the Dogs, then see how the Tigers fare.
Agree 100%@@YouChwb
Keep Leichhardt Oval just for junior grand finals , junior rep Balmain teams ,massey , Sydney shield, nsw cup but not nrl
Redevelop Lidcombe and play there.
If tigers cant afford it, but the fans are so desperate to keep it.. then chip in, have a fundraiser or something.. dont expect tax payer money or the NRL to hand out a free lunch.
paul kent the wife basher
Hahahahahahahahaha😂😂😂
Treasured Relic, Leichardt has an irreplaceable atmosphere, don't replace it with the same old synthetic bland
Need the beer girls like at Japanese baseball games. No need to queue 🙂
Spiritual home? You’re kidding me. It’s the spiritual home for Balmain. It’s the WESTS Tigers and it’s Wests who fund the outfit.
Where is Paul, Kent boyfriend, Buzz Rothfield
User pays!
it's ridiculous that they still play there.
Surely the nrl is responsible for the upgrade,they make billions off the olayers and fans
No, the tigers are responsible. If the NRL was, they would go broke.
They made a 50 million profit last year, the stadium needs 30 million at least.. and if they did it, 16 other clubs would put their hands out and ask for their fair share.
Gordy was such a better co host than Kenty. #BringbackGordy
Kent….tallis …hooperjust a bunch of bullies don’t watch the crap show……get rid of them
Damn people are soft these days, jf ypu dont thibk you can handle it dont go.
Leave Leichardt alone...
Rubbish what about the state of belmore?
Leichhardt should host 1 or 2 games a year against traditional Sydney clubs, Easts or Souths
The future is Campbelltown
Campbelltown is a shithole of a stadium and you’d be lucky if 1% of the 16000 that were at the game on Saturday travelled out to Campbelltown every week to watch their team. The local crowd out that way barely break half capacity most weeks, they clearly don’t want to go watch the team play so why take away from the Leichhardt faithful that do? Yes the stadium desperately needs an upgrade (as does Campbelltown) but not playing at Leichhardt would be a massive dagger in the heart of the fanbase.
Shut up mate no tradition in rugby anymore leave da tigers a lone 🤯🤡🤫
Trailer trash park
Paul kent should be sacked
This ceo needs to be fired . The board is the biggest problem at wests .
they sacked the board end of last year, that why we will be the 2024 premiers.
@@blake4454 KEEP DREAMING!!!!!! LMAO!!!!
Fool
@@blake4454 oh really my bad I should keep up on the news a bit better dang. But premiers even as a fan I’d be happy to make the top 8
...your about 4 months behind mate 😂
Is the Balmain Tigers Australia's Wrexham?
How so?
Don't you mean West Tigers are Australian's Wrexham.
Yes. sorry@@leaderofnoone9087
