2016 Crowd Watch

[BunniesMan]

13167 for the derby. It was 18k last year.

 

[Suitman]

Great crowd for tigers, very avg dragons. Guess the Sharks bandwagon doesn't roll 10kms?

I cannot believe that Kogarah isn't fully loaded with Sharks fans tonight.

 

[Timmah]

13,167

 

[Brutus]

Kogarah continues to underwhelm.

 

[Billythekid]

Disappointing crowd. It's a shame how fast rugby league fans give up on their teams. These are some of the most enjoyable experiences as a fan, seeing your team cause a surprise upset like that is just awesome.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Kogarah is the biggest myth in footy.

After 5 years of shit, it begins to take a toll.

 

[Emu01]

After 5 straight losses and 5 crap years and out of the running for the semis I think 13167 isn't to bad a crowd.. Some people are never happy it all depends on how the home team are running, last year yes there was 18k for this game but both teams were in the top 8.

 

[Warriors Fever]

I don't think the Dragons can sustain more than two games a year at Kogorah if thats what they pull to the local derby, and you can't just blame away fans for not turning up it's your turf. I saw plenty of blue in the stands.

 

[Saint Doc]

This won't make sense to the crowd heros in here but the crowd was low because we don't play ENOUGH at kogarah (in part).

1300 have signed a petition wanting the board sacked.
Social media is overrun with dissatisfaction.
Multiple #SaveOurSaints, #OustDoust and #McGrexit campaigns
We hate our CEO
We can't stand our arrogant excuse making coach
We can't sign players except raiders rejects
We watch heros like BMoz and Merrin kill it for other clubs
We see guys like Jack Bird crack state of origin
We've abandoned our two home grounds for 3 more grounds.in a cash grab
Why? Because we're in $7million debt
We haven't won a finals match since 2010 GF.
1 final in 5 years
We keep getting rookie rubbish coaches and BS open letters from the CEO defending the appointments
We can't make the finals again
Our club is potentially being sold behind our back without our input.
We can't score points (until tonight), we've been playing the most boring brand of football for years.
And we'd lost 5 in a row, and our most recent wins were against origin deplete sides.

And despite all this, the crowd watch thread wants 18,000 of us to jam in like sardines? Get effed.

I was there but wouldn't have been if didn't have my membership.

You guys have got no idea the level of resentment dragons fans have at the moment. Click the change.org petition and read say the first 30-40 comments to get an idea. The win was fun but we're losing our love for the club. And when nonsense like the Frizzell thing happens too, our love for the game is tested too

 

[Brutus]

Get over yourselves Dragooooons.

Not when the wheels fell off two weeks ago.

So many points of contention and dissatisfaction and yet only 1300 have signed the petition?!?

 

[CC_Roosters]

They seem to go to Moore park and homebush I'm greater numbers.

A perceived scarcity of tickets may have discouraged sharks fans from travelling as well. A problem we have seen in suburban grounds before

 

[Sydney Knight]

17,409 at Mt Smart.

I assume the "biggest Campbelltown crowd since 1969" was a pisstake given there's been a heap higher than that in the last 10 years.

That's a great crowd. As usual whenever the Warriors get a good crowd they failed to deliver

We haven't been able to promote the petition by way of any other means other than Twitter.

The Raiders had their petition regarding a home preliminary final promoted by Canberra Times, 7 PRIME NEWS, WIN local news etc and got 1800 signatures. 1300 is decent given no mainstream media has given us a voice, it has spread through social media sharing alone.

Our crowds are bigger at Moore Park and ANZ because we play at our opponents home grounds and are outnumbered

 

[Saint Doc]

You can dismiss our concerns all you like, but is there a club more than $7million in debt?

Is there a club with less impressive membership growth?

Is there a club with less impressive crowds compared to known size of their fan base? (I imagine local derby crowd is lowest ever at kogarah? 5,000 at Wollongong the week before. 13,000 at ANZ vs tigers the game before (including ANZ members, free tickets to everyone who works in Olympic Park, 4,000 tigers fans leaving maybe 3-5,000 saints fans)

Our club is in disarray

 

[BuderusIsaBeast]

Ive personally always thought the Dragons should play the majority of there games at Wollongong and the Tigers play the majority of the games at Campbeltown. Both well populated regions that give a point of difference form other Sydney clubs. Of course still take some games to, kogarah, leichardt and ANZ but I believe its important for the clubs to have a base of sorts in Wollongong and Campbeltown

Problem with that is you're putting games as "dots on a map". The steelers and magpies folded partly because of poor crowds. 6/6 kogarah Wollongong was working well from a membership/crowds/performance point of view.

4/4/2/1/1 split is failing

The growth in South West Sydney does kind of negate what happened to magpies. A team in Campbelltown Makes a lot of sense in 2016.
