Swans over a barrel re: SCG redevelopment

[wheels27]

Don't take this the wrong way, but if someone wants the same seats each week, wouldn't you purchase a reserved seat?

We sat in the Noble for years but became increasingly frustrated similar to all you guys. Now we have great seats that we know are always there for us.

Also the complaints about not having the same facilities at Telstra are a bit over the top I feel. Sitting in the unreserved Noble area you pay less for your membership, but still expect to have automatic access to all the luxuries afforded SCG members - and still want to quasi-reserve your seat.


(sorry if I offended anyone)

I'm happy to offend plenty.

All this rubbish about SCG Members rocking up late, blah blah blah, stealing seats, blah, blah, blah - rot!

Yes, we pay full freight for access to better facilities and good seats - at both the AFL and cricket.

And as someone who gets there early enough to watch the magoos, I can tell you the Ladies Stand where I sit and other members area are full hours before the Swans Members space.

So, particularly, Aussie Ange, don't give me gibberish about Members rocking up five minutes after the game when you see Swans Members rocking in when they feel like it.

Especially when you post you don't want to rock up early next year.

If I rock up late, I don't get a seat - that's it.

So spare me - and by the way, don't study, it degrades the mind.

No offence taken - but as you know you cant buy a reserved seat in the MA Noble - and its a great view to watch it from where we normally are in the upstairs bit. But after years of getting there early, I just want to have a bit of a Sunday morning to myself, I can do other things and then head out to the footy knowing that I will have a seat thats mine. So thats my mate Ange & I are doing.

I think the seat nazis are going to be worse than ever next year. They are going to make sure us Swans members aren't preventing their SCG members from getting a decent seat when they turn up 5 minutes after the game has started.

I'm thinking the same Ange. I'm fed up with having to get there early to save seats and I despise the dress code nazis inspecting under my scarf for a collar at gate entry.

I reckon that bloke at the Geelong game was trying to pick you up.

We have copped an earful from "your type" over the years in the MAN just as the games starts - go back and sit in your ivory ladies tower with your Pimms and Lemonade and do us a favour and stay there.

Err, I think I just wrote I'd never go to the MAN - I go to the Ladies for the Swans for the view on centre wing and well, it actually started so I could abuse Stafford coming on and off the bench. And before him Stefan Carey.

I wouldn't dare go to the MAN, you never know who you'd end up near. And you sheep follow along in group delusions like the wave or clapping only when Hatley tells you.

When did Hatley move seats? I always thought he sat on the HF flank at the other end of the ground.

He sits on the centre wing, yes. Not far from me, in fact. It's very annoying.

I've just noticed the group think participation in crowd activities in the MAN and other stands. Particularly people throwing out caricatures about pimms or other silly drinks.

You are right Hatley is no where near the MAN - yes Mr i'm-uninformed is exacly that un-informed - doesnt know @@@@ from clay,

My apologies to the SCG members most of whom are who are decent non abusive people.

I've only been to the SCG twice and I knew that!

Errr, I sit top right Ladies, above the interchange. He sits right towards the end of the Swans Members - 20m down.

So close you could confuse @@@@ with clay in fact. I don't mind which one I am really. Up to you.

(all such a narky comment deserves). You run out of pot mate? Taking your withdrawal symptoms out on other RWO posters? PO.
