I don't think the part about the crowd leaving nor the emotive description of the Roosters win is appropriate.

I also am not sure the substitute thing deserves to be singled out.

[edit] Deleted items

I deleted: "The ground was not a favourite of visiting teams due to the poor dressing facilities for the visiting teams. On top of this the crowds at Orana Park were very hostile towards visiting teams, and more often than not, a crowd of 7000 would make more noise than today's crowds of 20,000+ people."

"A lot of local Campbelltown residents see the Stadium as a white elephant, as there are only three NRL rugby league matches played there each year, due to the Wests Tigers' preference for Telstra Stadium and Leichhardt Oval.[citation needed] It is occasionally used by other events, such as football (soccer) and very rarely rugby union.

There is some conjecture that the ground should have been built as an oval rather than a rectangle, as this would have enabled the stadium to be multi sport for cricket and Australian rules football; however, the council decided against this for reasons unknown."

I just think they're speculative rubbish, and I don't think they belong here. Dibo T | C 03:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Agree that they are rubbish, but I do not think that they are speculative. They are just unsourced opinions that ought to be deleted. As for the official name, I believe that this legal document is pretty clear that the legal name is Wests Tigers Rugby League Football Club. This page from the club website is also using the term. This is also pretty conclusive from the sporting pulse website. --Tomasthetankengine 18:42, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
