I too was pretty chuffed with the crowd yesterday. The Trumper stand seemed pretty full which is always a good sign. Great atmosphere too - all in all a good day.
I too look forward to playing finals at the new and improved SCG and a capacity of 47,000 is more than enough to aim for. We will not need Homebush when the SCG is finished. Leave that precinct to the Giants, until they leave for Canberra anyway...

It seems people keep forgeting the agreement with ANZ.
Giants have just built a multi million dollar complex at Homebush, that's in addition to the one at Rooty Hill. Keep dreaming buit you may have a terrible nightmare in 10 years time. It will be a Giant one.
You hope the Swans will be able to draw a crowd over 48,000 then.
Nothing like a good light bulb moment.
According to an official tweet by the SCG (?@ourSCG):
"Currently reduced to 33,000, the capacity of @ourSCG once the new stand is complete will be 48,000."
