Ring the Swans, they may have the inclination to explain it to you.

"As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''. -
When you finally contact the Swans, if you're not too scared to, just leave the apology on the board."As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.

Kettle. Black. Yeah good one Mark, from someone who is "privy" to the following

Closure of parts of the stadium has reduced costs, the initial break even figure prior to this and pre match initiatives was 55,000 !
I await your accounting genius !

Bart, 45,000 and 55,000 break even figures were heavily publicised by the Swans themselves.
This is not the case with Swans financial details which remain undisclosed. This is why i kept pushing this with the pompous @rse. However, as has been pointed out it is very boring so i will stop.
Bear, if you are still feeling insecure and feel the need to tell us your achievements, i would love to hear about any medals you recieved at sporting carnivals or the badges you assembled whilst in the cubs or scouts !Comment

Do me a favour, either prove your claims or disprove mine. As I said, a simple phone call willdo the trick. Otherwise put your head back in the sand where it has been for the last 12 months.
And your resorting to name calling is pretty impressive too... is this YOUR main achievement in life?"As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did.

Hmm, Looks like we have gone a tad off the topic on occasion on this one and things have gotten a little heated. perhaps we should reinstate the "where is the love?" thread.
FWIW, on the whole I'm not a fan of Telstra stadium, have not been impressed with the playing service and the atmosphere does leave a bit to be desired (expect when it is full). The SCG isn't perfect but it does feel like home.
Having said that it doesn't stop me going out to Tesltra even though on one occasion it took me nearly 3 hours to travel the 25 kms from home.
Another thing it wasn't just fairweathered fans who didn't turn up on Saturday night, some diehard fans chose to go to see some mob called the tahs (or something)...you know who you are!Bring it on!Comment

Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents worth in.
I've been a Swans member for 7 years now and have sat in a number of different spots
1) Top deck Brewongle Stand SCG - great view, only reason I moved was due to one particular Swans fan gettting on my case about being too over the top in my passion.
2) Brewongle Concourse (last season) again, good view, however i've had better atmosphere at funerals. No passion at all from the fans in this area.
3) Top Deck Stand (Telstra Stadium) way too far away from the atmosphere.
This year I decided to join the CS and move around behind the goals. Granted, the view is not the best (posts, goal umpires, etc) but the main reason for my move was to be able to sit with fans who share my passion for the Swans.
When I go to a swans match I go to have fun and that means cheering for the boys and getting involved.
BTW I thought there were more than 33000 at TS on SaturdayComment
