Bazza replacement to be named Monday

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Just goes to show ,all those years when the Dragons League Club was known as the Taj Mahal, and making squillons, the council owned ground could have been an all seater with cover by now.
Now it's too friggin late.
The choices home games ,we have are limited.
One in Perth against Raiders, one in Brisbane v. Broncos,one in Adelaide against the Storm,Bankwest against the Panthers and Eels.
Dragons,Tigers,Souffs,Dogs,Smeagles,Newcastle and Easts at Kogarah.

they were never gonna do that. its too expensive for the return of 6 games a season


its a terrible venue. no parking. oval shaped..its f**ked.

 

[M2D2]

Yes. I would prefer Kog, by a great f**king margin, even though its a shit place.
The idea Parramatta is not far away is laughable and shows you dont use PT to get to games at all.
In an ideal situation, we would wait til the new SFS was finished before we start the renos. But we wont.

 

[ghoti]

We're kinda f**ked with this...whatever we do, we essentially signal that our specific territory isn't required for a comp going forward. Bankwest: data shows Cronulla can successfully play in western suburbs and brand can be adapted/diluted. Kogarah/WIN: Sutherland, Wollongong, St George regions can be merged.

We're gonna give NRL the data it needs to justify a merger or relocation imo.

People from the shire aren’t going to routinely travel to Parramatta to watch football. A couple might but most wont. If that is the solution then they’re going to lose a valuable market.

People might travel to Kogarah, but that ground is no better and is being phased out anyway.

At the end of the day the NRL can come up with whatever data/criteria they like to feed whoever it is they are trying kowtow to.

You would think that after 100 years of a Sydney dominated comp (with teams scattered at various locations across the metropolitan area) that it might be time to accept that it actually does work. This sport loves to dwell on a problem that doesn’t even really exist.

Speak you pissant!

ghoti! I thought we were mates!!!

 

[fizman]

ghoti! I thought we were mates!!!

In the ancient language of Guruswamibuggertherestofyou it does interpret as "Thank you Mate, I love you as a Brother and appreciate the valuable information."

 

[Stake Removed]

Take a game to Suuny Coast, Hobart as well its 2 places we havent tried.

Port Macquarie for regional NSW as well

I would use the Gong over Kogarah

 

[lolesi]

.
Port Macquarie for regional NSW as

Would be my pick for any country game.

Has a nice stadium, airport, can handle the INFLUX of fans.

They also have target country which is a fine establishment for shopping.

 

[Card Shark]

Port Macquarie for regional NSW as well

I would use the Gong over Kogarah

Stake, what the f**k!!! You have never ever made so much sense! Bring back SSB68 or the Messiah

Port Macquarie’s team is the sharks, so the supporter base will have a higher % of sharks fans.

Yes , f**k kogarah. Go for Wollongong whilst the dragons are down & the Illawarra supporters are wondering “what the f**k are we doing with these dragons merkins”!

 

[Special K]

Can we use the SCG? I’d take kogarah over anything I guess. It’s so close...

 

[Generalzod]

Let’s play at Seymour shore soccer ground lol

 

[Eion]

I’d go to a game at bankwest to check it out, I’d go to a game at the scg. Probably couldn’t be arsed going to the gong.

No way do I bother with Kogarah. Merkin of a place.

Regardless, I don’t go to many games if they aren’t at shark park. Just the way it is.

 

[Stake Removed]

You have 12 games to decide where to play, i would say you need 6 in sydney/wgong.

The other 6 regional/interstate/o'seas

Port Macquarie
Sunshine Coast
Toowoomba
Hobart - we might be able to get some funding from Tassy Govt
Fiji - we would be first NRL team to play there, and might get benefit then of Fijians wanting to play for us
Toronto - If Wolfpack get promoted and with world cup in North Americaa in next couple of years, we would need plenty of incentives and rest time, another chance to push our brand, this is the wildcard option

 

[txta2]

Crowds won't go, doesn't matter where they play, some people just won't travel or won't show support if at Kogarah.
So yeah wherever the dollar is because they are ALL away games

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Ask for dispensation to play our first 5 games at home in return for taking the remaining to PNG, Fiji, Darwin, Perth, Coffs Harbor & Tonga

 

[Quicksilver]

Kogarah is pretty easy to get to by train from the Shire.

Who cares about the StGeorge thing. The council own the ground so they’ll be getting the money.

I’d be playing at least a few games there because of proximity to our supporter base. The rest can be sold to the highest bidder.

 

[Frenzy.]

Chad Townsend Oval.

 

[shaggs]

I’d be retro rounding it at Sutherland oval.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Newtown would be a buzz. Leichhardt. South sydney. Cricket ground.
Actually Leichardt we would rake it in. Take our home game there for tigers.

 

[Quigs]

My two bobs worth .... take them to Henson Park. What is the crowd capacity there these days and how munch do we get to our games anyway.

I loved the old Henson Park back in the day.
