NSW Premier Chris Minns may have just signed the death notice for beloved suburban NRL ground Leichhardt Oval.
The Wests Tigers have begged for an upgrade to their beloved stadium, but comments from Chris Minns paint a bleak picture.But it also turned a blowtorch onto the troubles besetting the dilapidated stadium, which is considered below NRL standard and in desperate need of an upgrade.
“My real fear is that we put money into Leichhardt and the week afterwards they say well now we need the money for Campbelltown,” Minns said. “You might upset a few people but it has to be what is best for the growth of the club. If you are not thinking that way, you will continue to go backwards.”Minns echoed similar sentiments he has expressed in the past when he declared sports stadiums are not his priority.
