2026 Crowd Watch

[horrie hastings]

Imagine trying to fine the Prime Minister for being on the field .
The thing that amused me was the first pitch invader that got to Alex was someone in a Roosters jersey, also when it got crowded out there, one guy with a bucket of chips and he didn't spill any of them.

Playing last night's game at Accor would have taken away from the moment.

Arguably they could have drawn a larger crowd and of course it still would have been special, but it wouldn't have felt as intimate and it would have lacked some of the historical significance (this rivalry has been played in the Moore Park precinct since 1908).

I'm not a Souths fan, but I'm so happy AJ not only broke the record, but got to do it in a game like last night.

My mates and always buy the cheapest tickets and just stand on the concourse behind the premium seats and drink beers. Done it dozens of times and never get moved on! Best view from there!

Done that at commbank a few times best “seats” in the house. For cheap

 

[Valheru]

It was our regular season home game, under no circumstances will that ever be played anywhere other than the SFS (or SCG if SFS is out). The fixture in general should never be played anywhere else with the exception of it being the GF.

that
& it wasn't possible to play it there

Imagine if AJ broke the record next week at Gosford vs the Tigers. Would have had a fraction of the atmosphere and impact compared to last night.

 

[yakstorm]

Bathurst is officially sold out, joining Leichhardt, Allianz & Mt Smart for the round

Dragons have released more sections and seats for WIN. Unless there is a big walk up (not unheard of for Wollongong), I don't see it selling out, but hopeful it's still the largest crowd for the day.

Manly have put up the limited seats message on social.

I thought they were restricted to 16k ?

 

[Saint Doc]

Wollongong looks very disappointing

also less Albo

 

[horrie hastings]

That's a Brookvale sized crowd.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Looks quite disappointing in Wollongong. 11-12k max

Unlike dragons to let the side down

 

[Yosemite Sam]

The biggest ever crowd for a Dragons v Storm game in Wollongong is 12,960.

They may have beaten that tonight. Just.

Why is Newcastle way more passionate than the gong .. similar towns similar size

The Newcastle & hunter has twice the population of Wollongong & the Illawarra dummy

Newcastle is bigger, but it probably doesn't help that they only get 5-6 games a year.

The dragons and sharks situation needs resolving and quick.
