Western Suburbs Magpies

The Magpies have played at three home grounds since they started. Firstly, they played at Pratten Park in Ashfield, then they moved to Lidcombe Oval. This was due to Ashfield council not allowing the club to play matches on a Sunday (as this was the church day). In 1987, they moved to Campbelltown's Orana Park, which, after a $25-million renovation, is now called Campbelltown Stadium. This stadium is now seldom used, and many residents see it as a waste of the money spent by Campbelltown City Council and the State Government of New South Wales.

The Magpies do not play in the National Rugby League, having formed a joint venture with Balmain Tigers to play under the name Wests Tigers. They still exist as a seperate entity for all other purpose however.
