2026 Crowd Watch

[stratocaster]

I'm a St George based fan who has been a member at Kogarah for over 20 years but I can see a world where we only play 1 or 2 games there a year. I know it will piss off the R2K brigade but the state government isn't putting in money when it isn't state owned and we only play 5 games a year there at most.

Really great post. Dragons skew older but they're not the spent force people on here seem to describe. People think that when clubs stop winning, their fans vanish and shift to other teams. Instead what they mostly do is go from active to less active. They attend fewer games. They watch fewer games on TV. But there's still Dragons fans out passing their loyalties onto their children.

One day they'll be successful again and all those dormant fans suddenly wake up. Hopefully when they do, the Dragons will be playing a decent chunk of games at the SFS against teams like the Roosters, Rabbitohs and Tigers, because they'll massively improve their average attendance over night.

CommBank looks awesome full, still can’t work out why there’s always so many empty seats though, even when sold out.

Campbelltown next Sunday for Tigers vs Knights (top 4 matchup!!!) should be the largest crowd there in ?? years pending weather.

How exciting for their fans.

 

[Warriors Fever]

Looking at next week probably have a few meh crowds in Wollongong and Parra. Campbelltown will
Hopefully get close to selling out

 

[newc18]

What's the capacity of Campbeltown these days?

 

[jim_57]

What's the capacity of Campbeltown these days?

Couple sellouts there in 2024 got a bit over 17k, capacity is probably ~17.5k, maybe 18k at a stretch.

Think its capped at 17, 500 nowdays.

They did have a crowd of 20.527 back in 2005 when WT played the Cowboys and also when Tonga played Fiji there in 2017 the crowd was recorded as 18,271 and also in 2018 when Tonga played Samoa the crowd was 17,802 ( both 2017 and 2018 were double headers Pacific tests ) but i think it is capped as 17,500 these days, lets hope they actually do get a crowd of 17,000 plus next week.

Are we expecting a big 40k+ at the double header in Perth, or more like last year's 31k ?

Wollongong only gets five games this year. One of them is Friday 6pm ffs. And with the team dead last, sadly it will be a four figure crowd.

I'm saying closer to the 30k mark, not much marketing going on over here.

Why doesn't the NRL show some initiative and offer 50% off tickets to all West Coast Eagles and Fremantle members? Could be a chance to fill the stadium

Raiders & Tigers got 18600 there 20 years ago

 

[T-Boon]

It is sad Parra Stadium capacity is sub 30k. That game 100% should have been at a bigger ground.
