“We don’t want to lose the Tigers. We want them to call Campbelltown their main home, and to play more games here.
“But there will also need to be a big reliance on all three tiers of government to come together and come up with the money.
“We’ve had some conversations in the past, and I recently met with [NSW Minister for Sport] Stephen Kamper – that was a positive conversation, but there were no promises made.
“We don’t feel like we’ve had our fair share of upgrades to the stadium when you consider all the upgrades to stadiums elsewhere around Sydney.”
The Tigers are committed to playing four games at Campbelltown this year and next season, two at Leichhardt, one in Brisbane for Magic Round, and another four at Venues NSW grounds, including Allianz Stadium and CommBank Stadium.
Richardson wants a heads of agreement on a stadium upgrade in place by June 30, so that he has plenty of time to make alternative arrangements if no deal is forthcoming.

The money for Campbelltown would create seating for up to 24,000 fans and 1500 corporates. Richardson said if the council committed to the plan the Tigers would do likewise by playing a minimum of seven NRL games at the venue. The plan would be for up to $100 million to be spent on Campbelltown across the next 10 years.
Richardson took a similarly tough stance last year when he threatened to leave Leichhardt Oval if money was not spent on the inner-western Sydney venue. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns later announced a $40 million rescue package.
The plan for that money is to have 17,000 to 18,000 seats at Leichhardt, and an ability to host up to 1000 corporates.
