I'll probably head down after uni. Will there be any parking available or should I take public transport?

Public transport, via the Henson Park Hotel.

Seriously, there should be plenty of parking either in the ground or around the streets.

 

[Wolftone]

Lots of public transport to that area. Not very far from Petersham. I will be there.

Will the club be giving top-aged academy players like Mills an opportunity to make up the numbers, or is that too sensible?

 

[Parkerman]

Anyone know if the top gate off Woodland St will be open? That's where most of the street parking will be.

Otherwise it's a hike to the main gate on the other side of the ground.

They normally do for these games. Or at least that was my impression for these kind of games.

No parking in the ground, only parking around the surrounding streets.

Apparently Mills is not one of the Academy top ups. Another forum had a list of players and he was omitted.

 

[damien.yang]

Oh it was also on Swans Academy fb page

Just as a side note, I've kicked 6 on Henson. Can this be beaten? Can't wait to find out.

Another Derickx for us all to cherish and have as our own.

Longmire says all senior players apart from Franklin, McVeigh and Ted will play tomorrow while all draftees apart from Nic Newman will also play.

Wasn't Heeney out for a few weeks?

Just held out of training or managed I believe. Wouldn't play the entire game you would think

Hey Guys
Can you get a beer there or it more a family thing? Just wondering if I should drive or walk.

Thanks

Its about a one minute walk to the Henson Park Hotel, but I don't imagine they'd be selling beer at the intra.

Bloody pissing down this morning, is there any cover at the ground?

Not to my knowledge. The draining isn't amazing either.

Edit: Oh you were talking about for spectators. Yes, there's a grandstand.

Hopefully it does not rain for the rest of the day as not much can be learnt from a intraclub game in the wet.

How so? Because we don't ever play in the wet?

 

[RW]

The sun's out now, hope it stays for those going to the game

 

[Cadsky]

Looking at the team lists. My money is on the red team. They seem to have to blue team covered. At least on paper they do.

If you wear your Swans colours, expect some banter from the local Newtown Bluebags.
