    Let me paraphrase contract negotiations:
    Gill: We want to move swans finals to SCG.
    ANZ: No, its in the contract, give us 10,000 seats for our members or forget it.
    Gill: But that only leaves 35,000 for swans and giants if they meet in a final. Swans fans will be livid, and you know what they are like.
    ANZ: Not my problem.
    Gill has a think.
    Gill: Ok, what about we leave Swans v GWS there, and move the other one. We'll only give you 5,000 seats for that, and I'll have a word to Eddie to make sure Swans v GWS is in first week.
    ANZ: And...
    Gill: ahhh... we'll give you $500,000 compo package.
    ANZ: Fine. Now get the f out of my office.
    A few moments later.
    ANZ guys to each other: What a dill. lol.

    With the generous limit of 10 tickets per membership, there doesn't seem to be an expectation that tickets will be in high demand from non-members.

    Agree, AFL are relying on us to bring a host of friends. Probably would be a good ploy in a non-AFL city if they allowed some form of discount for purchase of multiple tickets.

    Welllll technically the Suns have never lost a final either . I apologise in advance for my pettiness in responding to quite an amusing post.

    There's no next leg Scott. The train takes you directly to the ground for busy events like this, or a quick change at Lidcombe when it's a smaller event.

    Despite McGlynn kicking 5 goals, I don't know if I support him being selected against GWS. From memory, GWS seem to rile him up quite easily and I think McGlynn is mentally weak and can't control his emotions. It's all well and good to belt Richmond, but let's see him do it against some quality opposition.

    This is what happens when you live in Sydney, a city with a 100% record for Top 4 teams this year and best ground to watch footy in the country (the SCG), you just start arrogantly thinking the entire AFL world revolves Sydney and completely forget there are interstate teams. My apologies to the Suns, their finals record is unblemished also.

    I think Scott means that not everybody lives at Lidcome or between Homebush and the city. I know I have quite a daunting trek home if we have a night game.

    Possibly what he means is that when you get off the train at Homebush you have to walk past that railway announcer who pretty much hasn't shut up since the 2003 Prelim against Brisbane. No wonder the crowds at Spotless are so average, their fans have to walk past her eight times a year.
