Luke [Brailey] has discussed with me on many occasions his desire for the Bulldogs to return to their original home, Belmore Sports Ground. He passionately believes that all fans will benefit from having their team on home soil. I am fully aware of his passion for the club and his commitment to this matter.

Luke highlights that not only fans, but also the community as a whole would greatly benefit from the return of his beloved club to their historic base as he feels the ground is a central component of Belmore's identity.

Steve Gearin,
Bulldogs player (1976-1985)

Back to Belmore has thought long and deeply about the problems facing the dilapidated Belmore Sports Ground, and has developed a comprehensive way of addressing them by encouraging the Bulldogs, Canterbury Council and State & Federal Government representatives to work together.

An upgrade to Belmore Sports Ground is critically needed to keep pace with area growth and the standards required for staging a select number of NRL home games in the long-term future. Back to Belmore has a bold vision and road map for Belmore Sports Ground's turnaround and future as a top-class sporting facility, and a committee with foresight to carry it out.

Garry Hughes,
Football Manager - Bulldogs Rugby League Club (1995-2004)
Bulldogs player (1974-1984)

He [Luke Brailey] has a real belief in the role Belmore Sports Ground and the Canterbury-Bankstown district have played in establishing the strong position the Bulldogs rightly hold in Rugby League today. Luke also has tremendous determination to pursue the possibility of the Bulldogs returning to Belmore at some stage in the future.

When you consider the success that the St.George-Illawarra and Wests Tigers clubs have enjoyed in recent seasons in returning to Kogarah and Leichhardt respectively, it is difficult to doubt his reasoning. I am aware of the Back to Belmore campaign and feel their policies have considerable merit. I also have no hesitation in offering my endorsement for the campaign.

Kevin Moss
State Member for Canterbury (1986-2003)
Mayor of Canterbury City (1980-1987)

The Back to Belmore committee has the vision to forge strong solutions for Belmore Sports Ground on how it can be transformed into a top-class sporting facility that will meet the needs of the community and also be home to the Bulldogs.

Barry Nelson OAM
Chairman - Bulldogs Rugby League Club (1982-2002)
Bulldogs player (1954-1961)

I firmly believe that the Back to Belmore committee has enough commitment to the restoration of Belmore Sports Ground as the Bulldogs' rightful home ground. Back to Belmore possesses a deep understanding of the need to address the totally unacceptable state of the dilapidated venue to ensure that the Bulldogs can call Belmore Sports Ground home again.
