Oh dear, you are a moron....
ANZ is a whore of a stadium, Souths play there, Parra and the Tigers play there at times as their 'home'....its hardly fortress Canterbury. And the dragons are arguably the most popular Sydney club with a wide supporter base
Souths relocated there about 5 or 6 years ago for reasons unknown, probably to make money. Parra play two games there against us and Souths (the other two teams which call it home) in order to get a better gate and make some money.
The Tigers left ANZ a number of years ago.
By contrast, the Bulldogs have played all bar 1 or 2 seasons at ANZ since 1999 - the year the place opened. I think if any team can lay claim to the stadium, it's the Bulldogs.
More like you and brutus need to be nailed... in the head... with a hammer.
Why the hell should the Dragons take their home game to our home ground ?:crazy:
It completely freezes out large parts of their supporter base whilst opening it up to ours, which is not fair considering its their team.
They would lose their home ground advantage which plays a big role for most teams, especially in regards to refereeing.
I'm not fussed as to whether it's ANZ or Allianz (even SCG) - I just think the Dragons are getting close to a point where they'll need to implement a model where they'll need to use a larger ground for marquee clashes like the Tigers do - 3 at ANZ or Allianz, 5 at Kogarah, 4 at Gong (reverse between Kog/Gong each year).
If our game's going to survive into the next decade (and moreover, traditional Sydney clubs), there needs to be a balance of big games being played at big venues, while maintaining tradition.
For the same reason I'm a strong believer that Belmore, once approved, should host 2 or 3 matches a season against low-drawing opposition, rather than us taking games to Brisbane or Mackay or Adelaide etc.
