Get to Wollongong this Friday night.

[slipperykinchela]

interesting that the final game against the eels at kogarah has sold more tickets than this fridays match against the broncos in the gong

 

[big pat]

i've manage to rest the car away from the minister of war, so i can drive straight after work, told her to train it for once, hopefully its a bumper crowd.

 

[waynes dragons !]

im with thommo 4 pm,this is a game we must pack the ground out and give the team great support,i cant wait it should be a cracker,im coming down from newcastle,as thommo said everyone wants to see us fail especially the media,lets stick it right up these pricks and get their and be loud and proud,GO YOU MIGHTY DRAGONS.

 

[DragonPunk]

Tickets are going fast.

Availability: Category 1 Alloc. Exhausted Category 2 Single seats only Category 3 Single seats only Standing Hill Available

I agree. Anything under ground capacity will be disappointing. We are leading the competition and this is game may establish our platform for heading into the finals.


What is ground capacity there nowadays? 21,000?

 

[RaginDannyDragon]

Could our "poor" support at Wollongong be due to the weather? The last couple of years I've been to Wollongong for this match (vs Broncos) the weather has been fairly shocking (windy/rainy/freakin' cold).

The capacity is 20,000, but we have not gotten anywhere close to that since the first finals week against the sharks in 2005, where the crowd wad about 19,700 or thereabout..no jokes u couldn't even move on the hill every1 had to stand!!

 

[STG-MACCA]

I don't think it is 20K, the last time I can recall reading about capacity, I believe Wollongong was 19K and Kogarah was 21,500 (however achieving these figures is near impossible due to hills).

The support down there has been pretty good this year. WIN has hosted some of the lowest-drawing away teams in the comp - Gold Coast, Warriors, Cowboys - and still turned out decent numbers.

I was down in the Gong on Sunday visiting friends and there was already a bit of buzz about the Broncos game. Should be a good crowd

 

[Saint Angelo]

This is from the WIN stadium website:

Capacity: 20,000

Record Crowd:
19,608 - NRL Semi Final Game
St George Dragons vs Cronulla Sharks 12th September 2005

I do recall going to a Dragons vs Roosters match a while back at WIN (possibly 1999) where I was on the hill and the crowd was packed in like sardines.

i'm driving down from brissie to watch this game, then driving home the following day.

we'd better f*cking win.

 

[Stagger Lee]

I'll be down, first time to WIN this year.

Are there any seats available?

 

[Dragon]

Picked up 8 hill tickets earlier, the lady said there was nothing left in any of the stands. Surely there would be some single seats though.

You know what, the amount of times they say 'nothing is left' when there are single seats left, kills my life. For example for the the GF tickets she kept on saying 'NONE LEFT" and getting rude untill I demanded to see the screen. I asked her 'what are these', and she said 'single seats', and I bought them....only after her sturggling to realise I didnt care if they were in diff rows and diff sides as I new we had all the seats around them in our group buy for the GF Tickets. The old woman still had a smirk on her face as I was paying as if to say that I had no clue I just bought 4 single seats in completely different spots in the bay.........rant over lol.

I wish I could go on Fri but I have my sis 21st and its not just a backyard party or a hall party....its at a reception and formal affair so no way I can get there late after the footy as I would have done for anything else.

Hi guys,

Not sure if you've seen this ( http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/...et-dragons-semifinal-peter-doust/1597133.aspx ) or if I'm reading too much into it, but it sounds like Dragons management are waiting 'til they see the size of the crowd this week to make a decision on where the home semi will be held.

Cheers
Al

they probably think no one goes to the footy on their own.

Yeh I know, thats why I made it clear but still they didn't answer my question! Oh well, I got them after a little while And they were smack bang in the middle of all of us like I had hoped.
