The 50 million reasons why Wests tigers are ready to leave Campbelltown
Wests tigers are threatening to stop playing games nrl at the Campbelltown Sports Stadium, unless the local council can give a guarantee of $ 50 million to update the structures.
The CEO of Tigers Shane Richardson gave Campbeltown’s city council until 30 June to reach an agreement, otherwise it will explore the transfer of the tigers to one of the new stadiums of Sydney from 2026.
The tigers are blocked to play four games in Campbelltown, two in Leichhardt, a game at Magic Round and four in offices in the NSW Grounds – Allianz Stadium and Commbank – for this season and the next one, but have no commitments for 2027 onwards.
Richardson said that if there were no plans to spend $ 50 million in Campbelltown in the next three years, “we will not play there”.
“I do not make” Trumpian “threats, but we will not play there, it’s so simple,” Richardson said to the club Behind the roar podcast.
“At the moment, it is not a standard that must be a land nrl.

“To be the great club we want to be and have the quality of the players we have to have; to have the vision we must have, we need a stadium to build ourselves, in addition to simply Leichhardt. If we don’t have that stadium, we have to find one.”
Richardson threatened Leave Leichhardt Last year, if the money was not spent in Sydney’s internal-western headquarters, only for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the premier of the new South Wales Chris Minns to announce a rescue package from $ 40 million later. The plan is that that money is spent to have from 17,000 to 18,000 seats in that location and structures to host up to 1000 companies.
