Well I was there...
Exited hospital after 4 days in at 12:15pm Sunday. Was at the SCG at 2:10pm to watch a magnificant display of wet weather football. Love my Swans, love my footy and will always be at the home games!
Swannies for life!
I was there too. The weather was good from about 10mins in. The ongoing Ticketek thing is a fiasco, and I've had complaints from people I know about the situation every SCG home game this year. No other excuses are good enough IMO. Support your team by getting out there. 3.15 Sunday is a decent time, you're home by 7. It's a winter sport for heaven's sake!
Today's a draft of your epitaph
Did you manage to sneak back in before the nurses noticed your absence?
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
The same things there are to do up here that stop people going - warm houses, TVs, couches.
Sydneysiders SHOULD care about what Melbourne football supporters do, because their willingness to actually go to games consistently and in large numbers is the big reason the code is so financially healthy.
This club shouldn't be in the position of having to regularly rely on AFL financial assistance, but it has in the past and will again in the future.
Same goes for League. They're only really just cottoning on to the fact that they actually need people to turn up to the games.
The attitude to attending sport in Sydney is pretty underwhelming. They want big succesful teams and codes, but only if they can watch them for free from their couch.
I loved the low crowd numbers - no line ups for food or drink, empty toilets and out of the carpark in the quickest time ever.
Stay at home everyone - im fine with it.
^ Crowd realized it was a horrible timeslot so didn't bother to turn up when it came around again..
