Did they have bollards up around the joint? That usually stops them.
According to The Sunday Telegraphâs Phil Rothfield, a NSW Government study has found rust issues in the grandstands at Wollongongâs WIN Stadium, which is often severely battered by the elements, putting doubts in the venueâs long-term future.

Due to paywall, not sure which grandstand(s) are affected, but the northern grandstand had over $5 million invested a few years back for rust.
I reckon itâs the northern grandstand and the southern grandstand which are closest to the ocean.
He doesnât say which stands. Overall, they want to sell off the land, and build a BankWest-esque stadium elsewhere in the Gong. Problem is, the NRL also wants renos at Kogarah.
I say pick one or the other. Either Kogarah gets done, or Wollongong. The Dragons should move to a new stadium at Wollongong full time and forget about Kogarah. Tradition be damned.
It will only be possible when Sydney FC (Kogarahâs current co-tenant) returns to the Sydney Football Stadium. The rebuilt venue opens mid 2022.
To be honest, screw Sydney FC. They can play wherever. 
Kogarah Oval is currently used as a temporary home ground for Sydney FC (A-League) and the Cronulla Sharks (NRL) while their stadiums are being rebuilt. Itâs also used part-time for the Dragons in the NRL.
Kogarah Oval is here to stay for the short-to-mid term to say the least. As for WIN Stadium in the Gong, its sadly not used much. And wont be until a full-time team is based there -either in the A-League or NRL. Which may be some time.
Easy fixed. All Gladys has to do is tell Peter is Kogarah isnât getting the upgrade - Wollongong is. And only on the condition that the Dragons are to move to Wollongong full time. Otherwise, Kogarah and Wollongong get nothing.
Even better - give the money to finish off the job in Newcastle.
You know where you can stick that suggestion.
On the table for reasonable debate? 
Seriously the Sharks and Dragons shouldâve been merged or moved ages ago. The moment the A-League puts a team in the Gong thatâs successful, the Dragons are fucked.
No, neither should be done - this idea that the NSW Government should be bankrolling improvements an ever expanding list of stadia has to end.
Unless there is going to be more professional sports played in Wollongong, any money to expand WIN Stadium is simply wasted
should be funded by Bermudaâs Board of Tourism.
Sharks should move to the Central Coast.
I do agree, but itâsan issue when the stadiums are owned by the state. Ideally youâd sell them off to private investors and make it their responsibility, but increasingly around the world, itâs tax payers that have funded newer stadiums.
Iâd put a legally binding condition that the Dragons are moved to Wollongong before any stadium deals with the NRL are done, and Kogarah is left out. But thatâs just me. They donât get any other deals unless thatâs done.
They can call it the Bermuda Triangle. 
No, move the Sharks to Perth, and gut Manly to move to the Central Coast. Create a whole new team but with Manlyâs players. Like they did when the NFL moved the original Cleveland Browns to Baltimore.
The Showground in AFL mode but with the track for todayâs Community Series match. Usually that track is covered, and wouldnât the field be bigger?
Never been there but Iâve always thought the first few rows have a temporary look about them from watching on TV. Iâve assumed these covered over the perimeter track.
Yeah, a better job couldâve been done to make the 2012 Cumberland and Sydney Royal Stands blend in with the style of the Martin & Angus, Members, Sinclair, Suttor and Vincent Fairfax Stands which have been there since 1998.
