    I sadly think no. Levels of sound in the new stand are deafening.

That is a 3/4 time announcement, not while the game is in the balance. And the tweedle with the waxed moustache.......oh lord, give us a bit of dignity please.

    As for the new stand. the only thing I like about it is the toilets. Plenty of them.

    I don't live in the Sydney region anymore so I don't listen to Sydney radio, does anyone know what happened to him?
    Yeh he was really good and a proper Swans supporter, he goes insane after the siren at the 2012 Grand Final win. Apparently he's LA-based these days so a bit of a stretch for him to get back for games ;(

    What about Rodney O who used to do the Sydney Kings games. When we are defending in our half he could lead the crowd in the "Defence, Defence" chant.

    Just an idea.
    No, no, no!

    Most of the GWS players and the team management have deserted the Greater Western Sydney area to live on other parts of Sydney. Blacktown Council must be really pissed after spending all those millions to build the oval and facilities only to be pushed aside for a move into other parts of Sydney (which is not western Sydney).
    I recall reading some time ago that, yes, the Council is indeed very pissed off with the GWS move.

    I was being sarcastic Primmy. Rodney O can stay at the Kingdome.

    He is a grade A knob.

    I'm used to the incompetence and arrogance of the SCG Trust, they are diabolical. It's the ultimate little boys club with knobs like Stuart MacGill appointed by the government after members comprehensively killed off him nomination.
