Hi Guys, I'm wanting to know Dragons fans thoughts on the Community High Performance Centre (CHPC) being based in Wollongong?
It will mean all Dragons activities, admin and football related being moved to Wollongong and away from the St George region in Sydney.
I think the Dragons should keep a relationship with the Illawarra but should be based out of the St George region.
The Illawarra Steelers as a club have folded, St George bailed them out and WIN corporation bought the Steelers out.
Most Dragons fans are based out of St George and the surrounding areas in Sydney and Sydney is where all the sponsorship dollars are generated.
A move away from St George and Sydney in general could be detrimental to the Dragons by driving away so much of its supporters. The South Coast covers are large physical area but the population is small and doesn't generate much money at all, again, the Illawarra Steelers club died and Illawarra as a club pushed to merge with St George to survive, they could never do it alone.
St George and the surrounding regions in Sydney is where most supprters are and is where you can generate more support moving into the future. It is also where the foundations of the powerful and very famous St George brand was developed.
Being based in Sydney is critical and I'm wondering if as many of us Dragons supporters can come together and try to make a push for the Dragons to move back to Sydney and base its CHPC and all activities in the St George region due to the vital importance of the area.
I think it's crucial if we can come together as fans to make the club understand the importance of being based in Sydney.
I'd love to know the thoughts of everyone here?
