I can understand the club’s position.
Population demographic changes have impacted the St George area more than any other in Sydney with the exception of Parramatta and the CBD itself. Population stats place Aussie born supporters in the St George area at the mid thirtieth percentile whilst Sydney on the whole is close to seventy percent.
The Dragons, in the opinion of most, have close to the broadest geographic support base so the logic would be that far flung supporters would perhaps visit major venues for big clashes. Not all supporters can easily make it to the WIN grounds so who knows. I agree that ANZ sucks but the SFS is a bloody good ground for watching footy.
This is a vexed question for the club and I think that the overall good of the club is at the forefront of their decision making process
What has been done isn’t working and one of Einstein’s definitions for insanity was to keep doing the same things and expecting different results
All that said however. If the Sharks move out of the district then the situation changes dramatically. Having another club sucking away at your traditional fan base (in the good old days) is an impost that was undeserved and perhaps a legacy of our glorious eleven in a row.
