Newtown was at home at Erskineville Oval and Marrickville Oval before the club moved to today's venue, Henson Park. Attendances at Henson Park are the highest in the NSWRL Premier League. Their attendance is always announced as being 8,972, in reference to a game played at Henson Park in the 1990s on a wet and miserable day. The Newtown Jets ground announcer John Lynch jokingly said through the speaker that the crowd was 8,972. This figure has now become a part of Newtown folklore and is announced as the crowd at every home match.
