No matches at Kogarah until round 13
The St.George Leader has confirmed that there will be no St.George-Illawarra
home games at OKI Jubilee Stadium until round 13 due to the continued
upgrading of the ground.
The first Kogarah match will see the Saints clash with Parramatta in what
is expected to be the first night match at the venue since 1999.
Following round 13, the Saints will host another six home games against
the Cowboys, Rabbitohs, Bulldogs, Storm, Tigers and Sharks. With Kogarah
scheduled to host only five out of twelve home matches next year, a fair
allocation of Kogarah home games would be:
Parramatta (round 13)
Souths (round 18)
Bulldogs (round 19)
Tigers (round 24)
Sharks (round 25)
With the completion of the lighting project, the next major redevelopment
project at Kogarah is the seating upgrade. However, considering that the
Development Application for the installation of permanent tiered seating
at the northern and southern ends and the replacement of the existing
bench seating was approved by Kogarah Council on 14/02/05, the project
planning of the OKI steering committee continues to lag significantly
behind reasonable expectations.
While the northern tiered seating is scheduled to go ahead there has been no clarification on when the southern seating is planned. The southern seating is not listed on the Dragons' ground layout of OKI Jubilee Stadium for 2006

The other works scheduled to be completed are the English Street turnstile
and additional kiosk and patron amenities.
