Roast SCG

[The King!]

Hardly think it’s the SCG. It’s more so the teams playing on it. Yes, like ******* North Melbourne...gee that was a god awful game to watch!

Can be congested easily

Yeah it’d be great if the could take a row or two out.

Leave Kenny in the seat then remove it

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

the SCG sometimes seems conducive to boring batshit footy, saturday night was a good team win, but hardly something to drag the casual fan back again and again

I’ve seen some stunning games there.

But yes, I do wonder if bizarrely, it’s no longer ideal for our game plan. Needless to say, this could become no small problem for a team hoping to win the odd AFL premiership.

Oh been some brilliant footy, just mean sometimes

Maybe it’s sometimes too too dewy

Promises, promises!

I trained on it pretty much 2 years to the day and it was extremely dewy! It was almost like someone had left the sprinklers on

Every time we beat Essendon my mate tells me we watered the ground


At least we don’t have syringes lying around

 

[Wait What!]

God, don't you HATE trackwork!! I lived on the main western line (Central to Blue Mountains) for three or four years and it seemed to me that the bloody line was closed every second weekend for trackwork!!!

I live in the Northern Beaches and our major road leading out of there (Wakehurst Parkway) was advertised as closed for the weekend for roadworks for the new Beaches Hospital. Turns out only one half of it was on Sat night. I know heaps of members who decided not to go to the game because of that. Don't even suggest public transport to the game from our end (Avalon/Bilgola). Wouldn't arrive at the SCG till after christmas.
n.b. I attended the game.

Heh. I used to live in Bilgola.

Speaking of psychological hurdles, once you went up to the Plateau who could be bothered going down again.

Maybe crowds have been smaller because people don't want to attend this venue in fear of breaking an arm or a foot ?

Queues were pretty insane but yes. Poutine pie a disappointment but the choc top was pretty nice.

 

[sataris]

The SCG is killing our players.

Moore park is a death trap.

 

[Kapanis]

60 thousand members, advertising $23 tickets one week out, odd.

Indigenous round with Buddy's number being 23?

Yeh, sort of get the subliminal bent but how are tics still available with our membership, dodgy.

Do you think all our 60k members are based in Sydney?

 

[Tuco]

Ground has a minimum number of public allocation tickets available for every game.

Used to be 5k. No idea what it is these days.

not dissimilar from a lot of clubs

Hawks massive member numbers plenty of empty seats for instance

No. But did try out jug of cider at PJ Gallaghers. Rather nice Freo couple sitting next to us asked if we had enough time to drink it before the game.
Me: Yes. And this is all mine by the way

Of course not. Would like to see the spread of membership across e various packages

Yep.
People here questioned our seemingly low crowd numbers weighed against our membership total, but I see there was only 28k at Hawks v WC yesterday at an indoor game in a family friendly time slot.
