Red V Members venue change.

[jeffdragon]

Originally there were supposed to be 6 at Kogarah and 6 at the Gong.
But due to women's soccer World cup.
Now it is only 5 at Jubilee and 7 at the Gong.
Those who paid for 6 at kogarah will get reimbursed first the game that has gone to the Gong.
The St Helens game I have been informed when I conacted the club is also at Wollomgong.

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

really i was under the impression StHelen game was at Kogarah

 

[RedVee_8]

I hope it is at Kogarah

Saturday, February 11

• 6.00pm — Eels v Panthers at BlueBet Stadium
• 8.05pm — Dragons v St Helens at WIN Stadium

Seems to me Kogarah members are drawing the short straw.

Titans 6:15 Sunday
Sharks 6:15 Sunday
Roosters 6:00 Friday
Rabbits 3:00 Saturday
Knights 7:30 Saturday

Worst times 6:15 Sunday and 6pm Friday games account for 3 of 5. People with kids who play sport won't be stoked about 3pm Saturday either. Bye in the first round as well. Pretty strong whiff about this club.

Dragons welcome release of 2023 draw

The St George Illawarra Dragons have welcomed the release of the 2023 NRL Telstra Premiership draw, which includes plenty of huge home games for Red V fans to get excited about in the coming season.

Pretty much the same every other year but this is a bit disappointing, to say the least. Only 1 day game and only 2 games easy to get to. The late Friday and late Sunday games are hard, in particular for interstate travellers.

Paid for 6 games. Deadline imposed, pay now or you might miss out. A few days later and it's 5 games.
Deadline couldn't be extended to cover this?

Now all those fans that bought the six games have to go through the rigmarole of negotiating a credit.

As a Kogarah redvee menber, I hope they give me the St Helens game as compensation

A call to the Club today revealed they were apparently “blindsided” by the NRL draw. If this is true I call very poor management on the NRL’s behalf.
Would love to know when the the ground usage for the FIFA 2023 Womens World Cup was first announced ie. how long have we known this was a likely outcome?
I hope the Kogarah ticket holders get first options for the Kogarah game that’s been transferred to Wollongong.

That's my question as well. As for going to the Wollongong game, I suspect that's what they want, rather than give a refund. Only problem is a change of venue doesn't suit everyone.

Plus I haven't received an email or call about this outlining my options. The draw has been released and we're finding out about it through the media, after we've paid for the tickets. They certainly weren't backward when it came to reminding people to pay up.

Agree Willow. Would hope the club have some further more detailed communications to the fans in the next 24hours. Apparently they are considering a refund and will then offer the extra WIN game to Dragons ticket holders.
If this is the case I would hope their is an initial offering to the Kogarah ticket holders first after which further sales can be opened up to the WIN ticket holders and then subsequently opened up to everyone else.
The Club should ask the NRL for an explanation/apology that can be referred to the Dragons members for the headaches the draw venues has created.

Will be a refund for the game that's gone to the gong.
Originally the nrl wanted no game at Win till round 16.

I rang Red v Membership and the Lady who i spoke to her.
I have dealt with her in the past and she has always been on the mark with info.

I'm familiar with a couple of people in the ticket office as well. They deal with the enquiries and are always as helpful as they can be. I'm in no way critical of them. The communication issues and scheduling decisions come from higher up in the Club and the NRL.

I'm also not a fan of how the club imposes a deadline for existing members to renew so you can maintain your seats, typically the deadline being before the draw is announced.

How can a business demand payment upfront before advising what the product will look like. Oddly enough people have families who have birthdays, some even have anniversaries, weddings and christenings to attend which may clash. Members are treated so poorly, but I suppose you get some stickers and a key ring which makes everything good again

Just received a e-mail regarding how much will be refunded.

Just got it as well. It's less than what I paid. Presumably it's calculated to factor in the merch.

You can thank fox sports and the NRL for that. The club doesn't get a say

Both Fox and the NRL are about profits. We may not like it, but we dont command prime time anymore.. Its as much on us as it it on them. We are irrelevant. Until we change that perception, we will always be 2nd tier. The old argument that our " brand " / "history " dictates media has long gone.
