Is this the most beautiful cricket ground in the world?

I was judging the actual ground excluding the background

Fair enough, but the setting does add to the atmosphere IMO, like Newlands in Cape Town has Table Mountain towering over it. Sunsets at the SCG are pretty stunning too.
 
Anyway I fulfilled my quota of BSB posts for one day, kept the bar ticking over.

I agree, red's a crap colour, much prefer orange and charcoal. Might go and buy a GWS membership.

Should reward people who supported in the dark times first

Can be a supporter for life and a member for only a short part of it though.

I know coming from the country I never bought a membership until I moved to the city and then had to get through Uni to afford it but I was a hardcore bloods fan from the early-mid 90s onwards however only a member since 2007 (lapsed in 09 then re-joined 2010).

I do see your point. Those members who supported the club through the dark days should be rewarded before others. There is a basis to quantify and verify their support.

However I'd hate to ignore non-member contributions just because they aren't members (or only for a short time).

E.g. back home there was an old lady that went for the dogs and used to organize "dog days" lunches for her street/area. She'd put on a BBQ and provided soft drinks etc and deck the rotunda at the park near her place out in red/blue/white and try to get people on board. I know for a fact she was never a member but I'm sure her contribution to the club in bringing on board others was worth just as much (if not more) than a decade or so of members fees. She's probably responsible for at the very least a handful of modern day supporters (who likely all pay members fees) - Who may not have chosen the dogs without her. I don't think someone like that should be excluded from being rewarded. Even if they are only a short term "member" as such.
