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 has become a beacon of outer western Sydney development and is attended by Western Suburbs fans whenever the joint venture choose to play there. 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 separate entity for all other purpose however. In 2005, despite the inequal access to funds, the joint venture won the premiership and added a fifth to Western Suburb's tally.
