      At least the clause that requires them to play 4 at TS expires in 2008......

            The stand won't be finished next year.

              You beauty!!
              TS is my local. The train trip is only one station (which makes train travel extremely bearable). I can drink to my heart's content at a Telstra game. I normally drive to the SCG (and everyone knows you shouldn't drink and drive).
              Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
              Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                Tough tit.

                The club is counting on the fact that they are going to piss you off less, than they are going to make many more others happy.

                Already they are trying to move in on my future teams territory.

                That's how afraid they are of an indigenous western Sydney team !!!

                  Really?

                  It wont be 100% finished, but there will be extra seats?

                    Are you being sarcastic?

                      No...?

                      Is it partially opened, and therefore, not 100% finished, or is it completely non functional next year too?

                        I read somewhere there would be about 6 thousand seats opened up in time for this summer's test but essentially it's not due for opening until the following cricket season. Looking at their progress, they had better hurry up.

                          For some people, it's the reverse. If we want the game/club to grow, Telstra's the only way, I just wish they'd put on an after match there.

                            All it will take is 2 ordinary/ bad seasons in a row, which given the cycle of modern footy can't be far away, and the 'johny come latelys' from the west will stay away in their droves. It'll resemble a league size crowd, made up mainly of friends, family and freebies.

                              The worst crowd we have drawn at Homebush was still 31000 against Carlton in 2004.

                              People obviously still love matches being marketed with an event theme out there.

                              Who'd have ever thunk we'd have had THREE 60000+ crowds in ONE season!
