When is the last time our record has been this bad at the SCG? 1 win from 4 games which was an 'away' game.

Re: 1-3 Scg
I made a similar observation to mates as we were leaving the game. I for one am glad we're playing Collingwood at Telstra Stadium.Originally posted by swans_premiers

Just coincidence, no reason to believe it's anything systematic.
However, it is disappointing. All our losses this year have been disappointing--more then usual, because we should've (Essendon & Carlton) or could've (Melbourne & St. Kilda) won them.
The SCG is still where I would choose to play--even if we're developing a good record at TS.Comment

We should certainly have beaten Carlton. They're not a very good team. Oh, wait a minute: we did.Originally posted by midaro

It is pretty pathetic when the premiership team can't win at home!---------||--ANNE--||----------Comment

On reflection it really does seems as if the size of the SCG is a problem. Apart from that I love the ground and am looking forward to being able to walk to the football when we return to Sydney. But, like a previous poster said, I would be happy to travel to Homebush if it suits them better. But I guess it won't happen.---------||--ANNE--||----------Comment

The place is a dump.
I'd be the first to put a wrecking ball through the whole joint.
I was refused entry because my shirt (which was under my collarded jacket, with a scarf around my neck) didn't have a collar.
I said to the moron on the gate that I'd been given entry before as my jacket had a collar - but nooo, my shirt (which was concealed anyway) had to have one as well.
I was informed that I could go and purchase one from the merch. stand, at which point I said I wouldn't and I called the guy a @@@@@@ing a**ehole and then had some other toss tell me I wouldn't get in at all if I continued.
After getting the wife and kids in I called a mate inside and got him to pass a collared shirt through gate 19 (which was around the corner) which I put on, gained entry, then took straight off again.
@@@@@@ing morons!
Aside from that, I had to put up with a crap Balfours pie and watch my team get beaten on a tiny outdated joke of a gound, then try to get through the city at the end of it.
I think next year I'll just go to the Telstra games and pay on the day.

Our style of play now, doesn't work at the SCG...
But i wouldn't be too concerned from last night as with the conditions as they were, i am 1 not too fussed about last night considering 3 frees in the goal square for the saints and we couldn't buy one at the other end.
Over 50 frees awarded last night and i reckon those token out of bounds were only given to even up the ledger a little..as the penalty count was way lop sided.
But the SCG is not our ground and i for one would prefer them to play at Homebush...Comment

The ar*eholes on the gates get up my goat as well. Since when have the SCG member rules defined what piece of clothing can have a collar and what can't? Apparently a collar on a jacket doesn't actually count as a collar??Originally posted by Dave

I ended up going to a store at Fox selling ex Gowings stock and managed a bargain on a collared shirt.Comment

The problem is the nazis on the gate think a jacket collar doesn't qualify.Comment
