      Hey, the Aussie Stadium one is not even working at all.

      We were wanting to see how the reconstruction of the Cove was going but couldn't. They probably didn't want us to know how behind schedule they were with the reconstruction.

        They're auctioning off the SCG Hill?

          Does this mean we will not have a screen for games at the SCG this year?

              Relocating to the opposite side above that small roofless stand between the Bradman and O'Riley stands, the name of which I've forgotten (but where I had one of my most enjoyable Swans moments ever, watching the final quarter of our SF v Geelong 2005).

                  aussie stadium - the area that sydney fc ( such an interesting and original name ) use , that they know as the cove , (but to other patrons bay 21 - bay 25) is nearly completed and ahead of schedule...not that it should concern too many sydney fc fans , as their season is over...
                  The scg renovation , starts in approx 1-2 weeks,.
                  They are relocating the scoreboard from its current position to a platform situated behind the Messenger stand.
                  then the hill area , walters stand will be demolished and old scoreboard moved to the gate f scg .Then construction will begin on our new grandstand.
                  seating capacity for 2007 will be reduced to 34,000.
                  This information is readily available from the SCG or from the SWANS ( who have known about this project for well over 2 years but want you , the fan to believe that they have just found about it too, so you will blame the SCG and not the SWANS for ticket stuff ups etc). and is also directed at the ill informed swans fan who just like to bash the scg at every opportunity , re jf bay 22
                  Also , I believe some of our outer ground members will be re- allocated tickets to the scg members area.
                  Remember if you are re- allocated to SCG MEMBERS , YOU MUST WEAR A COLLARED SHIRT (males ).This message will hopefully be understood by all and perhaps stop the whingers later in the season...(ie , after rnd 1 , who dont understand basic dress regulations )

                    Me too cruiser the O'Riley stand was pumped.

                        They have just put in a new center bit and the cover acts like a hot house to make the grass grow quicker.

                          In addition to the main screen being relocated to the Messenger Stand a second screen will be installed at the back of the Churchill Stand, probably in front of the brick bit towards the the Hill end of the stand (anywhere else would block the view from the corporate boxes at the back of the Churchill.

                          The main screen is supposed to be ready in time for Round 1 - I haven't seen anything that explicitly states when the second screen will be installed but it's reasonable to assume Round 1 for that also. Installation shouldn't take long - there wouldn't be an major construction needed.

                            i'm glad they're keen but i just hope it's ready by round three when it's actually needed.
                            then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                              yes, forgot to mention 2nd screen , which will be located at the top left rear of the churchill stand.
                              also wickets probably covered due to city and suburban/army navy games which are played at scg annually after last one day internationals
