Home Grounds
The Magpies have played at three home grounds since foundation. They played at Pratten Park in Ashfield for their first sixty years, then they moved to Lidcombe Oval in the late seventies. 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 which is now one of the home grounds of the Wests Tigers.
