Hey folks,
Where can I find out where the swans are training? I've already emailed the club with no response.
The club have been scheduling sessions at Henson Park Marrickville over the past 3 weeks and I've managed to walk in and coincidently find them there a couple of times. Going off the news from the official website, they've been there on Tuesday (26th) and Thursday (28th) this week as well.
No surprise they're using the venue as it's just had its off-season turf renovation, looks and feels really good underfoot at the moment, has ample parking for players, changeroom facilities, the field itself is fairly large, and it's enclosed so they don't need to share the field with dog walkers and clumps of dog s**t that they'll find at bat and ball oval in moore park. For those unaware, the club has had issues using (Kippax) lakeside oval outside the SCG for pre season due to the light rail construction (effectively losing the western side wing).
I'm wondering how much longer they'll be using the marrickville site for training as it's literally a 10-min walk from my joint and I generally have mornings off during the week to voyeur. I'm assuming they won't have cart blanche use of the SCG during the season because it'll be copping a bit of traffic with the NRL roosters, Super Rugby Waratahs, and A-League FC using the field for matches over the next few months so Henson Park might be their go to venue, although it will start to wear itself with the Swans City region Academy training, NRL Roosters pathways training and home matches, Newtown Jets NSW Cup training and home matches, and the NEAFL & AFL Sydney comps using it extensively during the season as well.
Cheers - MCG
