Best Place to Sit at SCG and ANZ?

[swansrob]

Just back onto seating for a moment...
I'm planning on going to my first ever SCG game next season (the Friday night game) - I'll be there just on a regular general admission ticket - what kind of seats can I expect then? I'm not too fussy or anything, just curious.

OK, back to nudists...

[Wardy]

Don't know about the ring but cutting the cake would have to be a nervous occasion.

I dunno - the bloke serving the hot food in the nude was scaring me - nasty burns and all that and no they weren't serving frankfurts!.
Have got an excellent photo of the cake with nude blokes either side of it in the background - its very arty!!! - the lady at the photo shop (this was pre digital) nearly fainted when she developed them.

Back to the seats - has there been any date bandied about as to when the new MA Noble stand will be refurbished/demolished? is it next year?

[AnnieH]

I've sat with Annie and she is right on both counts, but then I'm pretty loud too. It is the only time I have anjoyed a match at the SCG, as I could see what was happening.

And you know you've got that same seat next time you're in Sydney.

[AnnieH]

Not only will I be checking out the Gold Class at ANZ (thanks Wardy) I might have to sit in the Noble for one game to see what the fuss is all about because all the Red Zone members seem to really love it. (although I think if you sat in my seats you'd realise why only an undertaker will ever get those seats).

I'll be happy to wring your seats out of your dead hands.

(PS: Love that photo Al. You are Kizza's idol. He told me.)

Especially in a stong southerly.

[Big Al]

But where did the best man keep the ring?

Let me know when you do Big Al and I can sit in your seat in the Brewongle.

Perhaps you can organise to look at the wedding album whilst you're over there.

I have a heap of wedding photo's and this couple are in a few of them too.

[Bas]

It certainly sounds interesting and a challenge I'm willing to take on. I'll try to talk Annie in coming with me, Mr & Mrs Grim would have coronaries for sure.

You are welcome any time young fella - you might put the wind up a few of the wowers there (ask Primmy about Mr & Mrs Grim who sit near by - a crankier old pair you will never find ) I can also give you the word on which people to avoid in the area (one of who you already know about! - apart from Mr & ORB of course!!! There are the nudists (who thankfully wear clothes in the winter months - but I did actually see them at the nude wedding I sent to about 10 years ago (and before you ask the question - no I wore clothes as a community service!) there are a host of different types really

Yeah, good one, I was hoping to keep this secret! RAS members can also bring two guests who pay $60 a pop. The deal is that one rocks up to the restaurant behind the members. On ordering a meal patrons get a wrist band upgrading them to platinum seats. Nice wide ones with padding and cup holders for those of us with fat bums and a thirst, close to half way and a flunky to open the door. Best view in the house. We bag our seats as soon as we get the wristbands, then go back and enjoy the silver service that Queen Wardy so values.

If you must call me names Princess Alexandra is preferred thank you!!!!!

I figure that its only 3 times a year at ANZ (oh plus finals too but then all bets are off ) so a bit of an upgrade is a treat.

Agree the view from our spot in the MA Noble is tops so am quite happy to stay there until we get shoved over the other side when construction starts.

Sorry ORB - didnt mean to let the cat out of the bag.

[Old Royboy]

I believe they even have proper things like cutlery! - ORB actually put me onto it and he sat up there for a game last year and was converted from the get go. So might as well get full use of the facilities that one has access too. and yes drinking wine out of a glass is much more my cup of tea - so to speak!

Mind you, ladies are advised to bring capacious handbags and a supply of bubblewrap because the prices they charge are enough to cover the the cutlery and glassware as well.

Menwhile I love the Noble at the SCG. Cannot beat that down the ground view on a short field. And now that we have a family membership, I will appreciate that the grandkids can roam around, go down on the fence if they want, run around on the grass out back or kick a footy on the tennis courts.

[Wardy]

I'm a member of the RAS as well and I thought long and hard about whether I just get an SCG membership. In the end I liked the parking included in my current package too much to change.

However from how you describe your seats Wardy , I might utilise the RAS membership next year. Drinking out of glass you say... Mmmmm.
