Yes Al , I have , several times.
Simply , it's not a ground fit to host a side of the calibre of WCE.
It is in effect admitting GSW cannot draw a big crowd for a top team.
Alternative ground ? The AFL should have thought of that when the draw was made.
Swansinger your kidding yourself - have a look at the SCG - Buy the Swans own admission their changerooms were(dont know if theve redeveloped them in the past two years) and probably are prehistoric joke. The changerooms at Blacktown are a mile ahead and the ground is fine to play on.
So you'd support playing Port there??
Again I ask, where do they play?? They can't play all away games so they needed a game in Sydney before Skoda became available. If not Blacktown you must know of an alternative. You can't complain about the venue and not have thought of an alternative.

$80,000 worth of GWS merchandise sold on Saturday night at ANZ Stadium alone...a tidy start.
Swannies for life!
You'd have to see Saturday's game a win for the AFL and GWS. Good crowd, good TV ratings and competitive game.
Plus it did what the Swans have never done which is to get big coverage in the Daily Tele. The Tele needs readers so if the AFL is going to spend $100m on GWS they're happy to ride along on the buzz created.
The real test as someone has written will be against Port Adelaide on a wet evening in July. How much interest in that?
But the AFL would have to be happy with the outcome of Saturday night.
The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news
Wow some very bitter people here it's time that you just accept GWS are here,they are not going anywhere else anytime soon. Honestly build a bridge and get over it. You are starting to sound like insecure NRL supporters. There really are more important things in this world to worry about
A gigantic change for Harbour City
This, the landing of a second team in Sydney, was the AFL's moon shot. ''One small step for the Giants,'' read the newest AFL team's inaugural run-through, channelling Neil Armstrong, ''one Giant leap for the AFL.''
Orange people show faith as footy takes a giant leap
THe landing of a second team in Sydney was the AFL's moonshot. "One small step for the Giants," read their banner, "one Giant leap for the AFL." It was more presentable than expected.
The Greater Western Sydney Giants were frighteningly inexperienced, consisting of 17 debutants - including 14 teenagers and a defector from rugby league - three young stars poached from other clubs, one disaffected player and one retired. Their opponents were the doughty old Swans, who were not especially pleased to be cast as visitors in their own city. ''30 years,'' read their tetchy run-through. ''This is our town.''
Yes the 'Daily Terror' is for sale to the highest bidder. But we all know what a saint good old Rupert is, the Murdoch press tells us so!
