      The ones who decide to go to the footy at 12 o'clock & then mutter that they got caught in traffic?

      My tip is get there EARLY. I mean 11-11:30am. The traffic will be MAYHEM. You wouldn't want to miss the raise of that flag for anything on this earth.

        In reality i would hope it would be a full house, but you would need to factor in a few things: a) It will be 3rd day of the Easter Show in Sydney and considering most schools don't break up until Good Friday, this weekend will be the perfect opportunity for families to go it. B) It's also Palm Sunday on Sunday for those of us that are religious C) What the weather would be like on the day D)Any other sporting events which are on the same day in Sydney. E) The Game will be televised live on TV

        Raising of the Premiership Flag has never been done in Sydney before, so it's an event not to be missed, but we did not even get a full house for the Semi Final against Geelong last year..so i can't see it happening this Sunday?

        Mind you i hope i am wrong and it is packed to limit this Sunday!

                It will be my niece's first game ever she'll be 5 in June. God I hope I can handle her and all these people and trips to the loo. I'm going to have ban her from drinking or eating anything from 10am on.

                    According to the AFL
                    The Sydney Cricket Ground?s current seating capacity is 43,562.
                    Sitting (or standing) in the aisles breaches fire safety requirements and is unlikely to be allowed (unlike at those two Geelong games that set the current records.

                    I'll nominate 43,552 as my guess.

                    I wonder what the records is for a first Swans home game of the season?

                      Ding ding ding! Our little one will be turning 5 next week and he has managed to get by thanks to the wonders of our aisels seats in Bay Hatley.

                      BAM-a-lam, the thing that will really hit you is the lack of sausage rolls at the SCG. Hopefully the caterers are on the ball this year and give the younger population what they really want!

                              Yep, as per the gummy bear competitions you will win the entire SCG and its contents!
