2019 Crowd Watch

[horrie hastings]

The Dragons have held their home game against the Sharks in Wollongong the last two seasons. Not sure of the reasoning, but it's a better ground imo.

2017 was at Kogarah and the crowd was 15,927
2018 was at Wollongong and crowd was 17,882.
I was staying at the Novotel Northbeach last year and there were plenty of Cronulla supporters staying there on the Friday night for the game.

I don’t think that was what people mean.
It was more a why isn’t it played at Kogarah purely out of tradition?
It’s the “ local” derby.
Wollongong is not really local to St George or Cronulla.

 

[Dragons 09]

Or Perth

Perth isn't ready for 2 teams and Sharks have first dibs.

Yeah but you guys are used to playing at 3 different home grounds.
What’s one more?

Frailty mentioned that Saints had played their home games against Cronulla in the Gong for the past 2 seasons where they hadn’t , 2017 was at Kogarah, just thought I would look at the crowd figures for both of those games, both pretty strong crowds , I was just surprised when I was staying at the Novotel Northbeach of how many Cronulla supporters were staying there for last years game.

I guess you're right, when we take over the Shire we will probably have to play a game or 2 at the swamp as well so probably best i get use to 4 home grounds.

You'll certainly get better crowds at the "swamp" ,than Jubilee .

Hard to argue with that!

 

[carcharias]

The name “ the swamp” reminds me of MASH
One of the freaking greatest shows ever.
So to me it’s almost a compliment.

How is the crowd for tonight looking?

Can get tickets in all sections.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Reports on Ch 7 saying it could be sell out. I wish that News reporter would do his research better lol

Anything above 20,000 tonight Id be happy.

 

[Burns]

Hmm, both sidelines seem close to sold out or at least very limited tickets?

 

[BlueandGold]

Take into consideration that many of those sold sideline seats are members that will not be able to make a Thursday game due to work.

If we got close to 17k i would be happy, anything approaching 20k would be impressive.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Ahh Thursday, hope this fills late

 

[Parramatta1947]

I have a season ticket and I am not there. Looks like plenty watching on TV.

Thursday night is rubbish.

If they post more than 10,000 They are lying

 

[Cumberland Throw]

The stadium looks pretty good though with say 13k-14k ..

That is a plus.. its quite dark up on the top levels.. so empties don't stand out too much

 

[beave]

f**king idiots scheduling this on a thursday. Absolute f**king idiots.

[Quicksilver]

The novelty has worn off.

Knock it down and rebuild, again.
