Andrew Ireland on 3AW

[annew]

Andrew Ireland on 3AW said tonight that the swans earnt $200,000 more in seat tickets for the Port Adelaide game than was budgeted at the start of the year. Well that's a fiftth of his salary for this year in one game. He also discussed the renewal of the ANZ Stadium deal and said that the deal is more complicated than what people think, as by having the other stadium it makes the SCG negotiate a better deal, he went on to say that there are plans for a roof on ANZ Stadium ( as per previous posts on here) and that in the next deal they hope to negotiate some of the bigger clubs to be played at SCG not ANZ and possibly finals. Looks like ANZ deal will sill exist in some format.

So he pulls in as much as Lance?

Impressive.

[GongSwan]

I'd say he's worth it

I changed the heading then forgot to put in that it is beause of Buddy and it is one fifth of his salary. Have tried to edit post but can't.

Is Buddy's salary not Ireland's - no idea what his salary is.

Unfortunately the Homebush deal is more complicated due to Mike Fitzpatrick's finger being in the pie.....

Great news re last weekends ticket sales anyway....

"The reality is, until the weekend ticket sales had been stronger at ANZ Stadium than they had been at the SCG."

ANZ is getting a major rredevlopment with a roof. Wouldn't want to lose it as an AFL venue

A roof would be great, fast dry track could just suit us :-)

Swans keen to bring finals back to SCG - AFL.com.au

It'll never be a fast track while NRL is played there...For starters the grass is too long for AFL.

Added to that, they keep moving stands over the wings, for the Rugby and NRL, which will ensure the wings are always substandard.

Not sure a dry cow paddock is much better than a wet one.

It wouldn't necessarily be lost to AFL - when all those shiny new fans sell out GWS' current home, it can be all theirs.

Sorry to be ignorant is getting to it that much of a hassle , i know the travel seems a tad long , but you still get to see them play. I dont think the club is strong enough to pick and chose , thinking of the future more seats more money.Doesnt look the ideal place to play but 2 teams play on it and they are the best players in Australia ( supposedly) ?
