Dragons' home game venue split

Ongoing re-development works at Oki Jubilee Stadium will see the St George Illawarra Dragons play their first three home games of the 2006 season at WIN Stadium in Wollongong.

The NRL released the 2006 schedule two weeks ago, leaving the Dragons to determine their home game venue split, which includes an even split of seven games in both key communities, Wollongong and Sydney.

Dragons Chief Executive Officer Peter Doust said there were a number of issues to consider in making the decision but believes the appropriate balance has been reached.

?We are very fortunate to have two communities in which to play rugby league and part of our ongoing strategy is to spread the opposition teams across both regions,? said Doust.

?While it may not be the optimal situation, appropriate time for building works to be completed at Oki Jubilee Stadium and venue clashes at WIN Stadium needed to be taken into consideration during this process.

?We believe the 2006 venue allocation provides for a number of high quality matches in both of our community markets and given the number of occasions that venue capacity was reached in 2005, we anticipate an even greater demand this season,? added Doust.

In 2006, the Dragons will host the Panthers in their first home game at WIN Stadium in Round 2 followed by the Broncos (Rnd 4), Knights (Rnd 5), Warriors (Rnd 10), Cowboys (Rnd16) and Sharks (Rnd 25) at the same venue.

Round 13 will see the first game at Oki Jubilee Stadium against the Eels followed by the Rabbitohs (Rnd18), Bulldogs (Rnd 19), Storm (Rnd 21) and Tigers (Rnd 24).

It will be the first time the Dragons will play the Rabbitohs, Bulldogs and Storm at Oki Jubilee Stadium since the return to Kogarah in 2003. It will also be the first time the Dragons will host the local derby with the Sharks at WIN Stadium during the regular season.

The Dragons also plan to continue to honor their traditions in both communities throughout the season with the Illawarra Heritage match planned for Round 4 against the Broncos and the St George Heritage match will Round 24 against the Tigers in line with the NRL?s 60s week promotion.

The Dragons will play two pre-season matches, one in each community, the first against the Rabbitohs on February 18 in the traditional Charity Shield match at Telstra Stadium and the second on Sunday, February 26 at WIN Stadium against the Roosters.

Thanks Diehard i have been waiting to find the dragons venues

Yeah same here. I am loving the fact that the games are evenly split between Wollongong and Kogarah. As a Steelers supporter before the merge, I was hoping that we would get some fairness and evenness as a result. We have :D

Fairness??

I count 6 competition games at WIN and 5 at Kogarah.

The ANZAC Day match doesn't count for Kogarah!

I hate this 'Key Community' BS. :angry:
