Loathe as I normally am to defend Saints, they get great crowds (and possibly the best walk-up crowd, as this season might well be proving) and have been getting them at up to 18k for years. What's the point of building a 25k stadium in RL over here? Very little. Especially as the North West is turning into a sporting monoculture where going to (association) football has slipped behind watching football on a dodgy foreign satellite as the most popular spectator sport.

If you are getting 18k crowds for years why would you build an 18k Stadium?
Makes no sense
The figures on St Helens Crowds do not support an 18k crowds often to be honest.

Well, you need capacity sometimes. Saints can sometimes fill 18k. They know they can't fill 25k. So why should they build bigger and have to maintain a bigger stadium? Look at poor old Darlo.

Similar to why Elland Road isn't a 70k capacity stadium.

the bit that gave birth to the game

lol that's rich coming from a St George fan! What decade are Kogarah and/or Win due to be finished?



Dally's concept of a "fit" NRL ground

Huddersfield?

lol

as funny as your comments on PNG which im assuming youve visited regularly

lol your photo is so old it doesnt even show the new grandstand

shame NIB dont have one ...

or drainage

I can understand why Stains don't bother with updating the ground, afterall they couldn't even sell out a semi last year, what was it 18k that could be bothered to turn up at Kogarah? lol. au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/ne ... b-stadium/

loak all you want you won't find him, look at Kogorah and Win you are far more likely to find him at these antiquated, undersized grounds. NRL shouldn't allow sub 20k grounds in teh league, it's embarrasing.

NIB Upgrade - STAGE ONE $82mill >>>> Kogorah upgrade $13mill

NIB>WIN>>>>>>>>>>Kogorah

After Brooky and Leichardt, Kogorah is the worse ground in the NRL.

i took a trip down to kogarah when i was in sydney for the world cup....i liked it...a proper RL ground....all they need to do is seat the hill* and put a roof on the place


*i don't get hills?...if the NRL was played in the aussie summer i'd get them....but sydney is wetter than manchester in winter......cover the bloody fans
