Leichhardt Oval is gold, Kogarah Oval is a myth

Brilliant thread.
Ouwet getting embarrassed left, right and centre and being disowned by his own.

Serious question. How many Sunday afternoon matches has Kogarah had the last few years?

I can only remember 1, which drew 14K against the Knights last year.
There are none this year.

Also, there hasn't been a sub 10K crowd at Kogarah since 2007.

Ordinary crowds continue at Kogarah, while Leichhardt continues to draw them in.

Why don't we see packed crowds at Kogarah anymore?

We love our suburban grounds as long as it's Leichhardt on a Sunday arvo.

Kogarah average last 5 years: 15231
Leichhardt average last 5 years: 14884

Kogarah average 2013: 12229
Leichhardt average 2013: 10554

Similar Levels of success over that period too, tigers 1 point off GF in 2010, choked vs warriors 2011, premiership favourites 2012

The BIG difference is the quality of games.

You won't find too many Parra, Manly, Saints, Souths, Roosters or Dogs games at Leichhardt over that period. Actually, you won't find a Dogs game...

Tigers can pack Leichhardt for a game against the Storm or Cowboys (on a fine sunday)

The Dragons struggle to pack Kogarah for a game against the Dogs these days.

Last crowd against Storm at Kogarah was 16k.

Terrible crowd at kogarah for dogs game last year on a rainy Monday night, but all prev crowds have been capacity.

Keep fishing but maybe use some facts

Similar levels of success?

Dragons have spent more than 40 weeks leading the comp in that time.

Wests Tigers 0 weeks.

Leichhardt is in the inner city. You're not going to get any neutrals on the fringes of the city. At Leichhardt even in evening games you can have people rock up there who plan on partying in the city when the game is over.

It's all about location. Nobody is going to the edge of suburbia on a Saturday night unless they love one of the clubs playing.

I know people who don't follow the Tigers and rock up to Leichhardt whenever they play there Friday and Saturday nights.

Leichardt oval is a bit of a walk from public transport though. I think the nearest stop is lillyfield light rail (correct me if I'm wrong people who live there) the closest train station is petersham train station and that's about a k away or whatever.
