A $28.9 million redevelopment at WIN Stadium, Wollongong, will result in the ground hosting five of the first six St George Illawarra home matches next season.This will mean that St George Illawarra will not play at Jubilee Stadium until the end of May with a blockbuster clash against Parramatta.

The annual local derby between St George Illawarra and Cronulla will be played in Wollongong in round eight.

Dragons chief executive Peter Doust said the allocated funds had delayed certain club programs. "The recent funding announcement presented us with a good problem to have,'' Doust said. "The exact start and finish date for the new grandstand is still unknown at this stage but enough information was gathered from the relevant parties to enable this home game venue split decision to be made at this point.''

The Anzac Day clash against the Roosters at Sydney Football Stadium will be a St George Illawarra home-game.

Jubilee Stadium will host matches against Parramatta, Wests Tigers, Penrith, Gold Coast, Manly and South Sydney.

[DruNkDazZ]

All good, just hop on the bus with the CSSC head down to the Gong, grab the win & party on home.

 

[Beejay]

Yeah it is a shame its down in wollongong (up for me) it would have been better in Kograh. From what i know most wollongong dragons fans are ex steelers fans and hence dont get involved in the whole rivalry. Which, when you think abut it will mean they will less likely want to turn up so if a whole army of sharks fans go then we can outnumber them!

 

[Lumpy]

Can't wait for that one. Bring it on.

 

[El Coconuto]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

 

[squeak]

seem a bit silly biggest game in the area and they take it to the gong

 

[Lumpy]

Better for us to play at the Gong than at Kogarah. Like in 2008 when it was at ANZ.

Soft, get on the bus of dreams you tit

 

[Beejay]

Geez its only an hour drive if that to Wollongong from the shire. I went to over 10 games this year and each and every one was a 2 hour drive from home, Nowra. I even went to the game at Canberra which was closer to 3 hours!
If you wanna watch the sharks play Wollongong isnt that far.
