Does anyone know when the next development of the SCG takes place?
I remember that Cats game in 96, Gary Ablett's last game at the SCG. It was so packed, electric atmosphere. As was the Prelim in 96 against the Bombers. Sadly since that time it hasn't been close too being that full.
70,000 at ANZ wasn't bad atmosphere either but in the present fickle Sydney market, not likely to happen for a long time.
Problem with SCG is that if members don't turn up or re-sell their tickets, you will have a sell out crowd at 35K. You would either cap membership or leave large areas that don't have allocated seating. Probably make sense to have a cheaper membership without a seat. So if you turn up 10 minutes after game has started and the house full sign is up then bad luck.
ANZ has a grand feel to it but I hate public transport so I would rather drive to the SCG from the Central Coast than go in all the way by train or partial drive/bus.
I'm sure the Swans will play at ANZ in finals games if they choose to do so.
I imagine at the Showground they would extend the part of the field that does not have the present stands. I was sitting in the stand at the Easter Show and trying to mentally work out how it could be done. The present ground is not long enough so they would have to bull doze the northern ? hill area. Do wonders for the Grand Parade at the Easter Show.
It would be great to have Saturday afternoon "blockbuster" games at the SCG.
The BIG advantage that the SCG has over ANZ is the entertainment precinct. You have lots of places to go before and after the game. ANZ is limited and by 11pm, you have to dodge the tumbleweed.
Primmy, the Central Coast is NSW's Capital for Nursing Homes, I can score you a really good deal on a ZIMMER frame.
