Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09 -
It's not the architects who are at fault - it's the decision makers who gave the new stand the go ahead. They would have known about the obstructed viewing areas - they've got plenty of form on that. The real question if why the SCG can't be redesigned completely, like the MCG and the Gabba.You wait till they finish this new stand. I reckon the whole northern corner of the new stand will not be able to see the match at all because it is tucked away behind the southern corner of the Bill O'Reilly Stand.
The architects for the ground should be seriously shot. If we can see the major problems arising before the new stand is finished, then why can't they?
Meanwhile huge problems like the lack of space under the Brewongle/Churchill Concourse have NEVER been rectified. That place at big games is at a standstill. You seriously can't move at all.

On reflection, the strangest thing is the SCG Trust ruling out a Swans legend.
They are saying the Trust members would guide them, surely the trust members would vote overwhelmingly for a cricket legend anyway. Seems a bit silly of them to rule out anyone from either of the two sports played on the ground these days.Comment

The SCG is the worst ground i have ever been too. It's a pastiche of outdated and horrible grandstands and is such a patchwork quilt. It's embarrassing and to think it was a premier ground even 10 years ago makes me giggle. I like the old SCG with the hill. At least the ground looked consistent.
I think it's time we move on and leave this vomit of a ground. @@@@ the sCG trust.Comment

one wonders how much the swans put into the SCG coffers over a season,in comparison to what cricket does annually,,i dare say SWANS...like when was the last time a pura cup match attracted 30.000.........Comment

Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

get a life....you have had it in for the scg ever since they threw out your pom poms a few years ago...THe SCG Trust to get off their high horses and admit that the ground is not JUST a cricket ground & is an all-purpose facility of which their major tenant is the SYDNEY SWANS. That's all! Not too hard is it?
JF
PS:- The Lions have never had the problems with a rock hard cricket pitch area at the Gabba in the Early Round that we had this season. Oh & the Gabba ground curators don't water the ground (either negligently or deliberately) before big rugby league finals, do they?
there is no need to name a grandstand after a swans player , after all it is a cricket ground....the only 'named' stands at the mcg are named after cricket players...so where is the issue...
its just jf banging on again like a schoolgirlComment

I always have pleasant memories of footy at the SCG those balmy winter Sundays, a spaghetti at no names with my (then) young son,waltz up and park near the ground and then watch us get thumped with a few thousand intimate friends....and some insulting travelling fans from Victoria who never seemed to appreciate the "Gaspo balloon promotions" and the Swannettes.... " this isn't football..this is an @@@@ing circus...BUT
I hate the Trust and have not forgotten how they shafted us for years with a ridiculous contract where we could simply not make money and probably went a long way to pushing us to the brink of extinction in the early 90s.
And Rodney Cavalier an ex union official, an ex Wran government man and now fulltime every bloody Committee Man...ho hummmm.... how about The Rex Buckets Jackson Stand, The Nifty Nev Stand..The Morgan Ryan Stand..or the Jobs For The Boys Stand?Sports do not build character. They reveal it....Heywood Broun
I always turn to the sports pages first, which record people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures......Earl WarrenComment

Firstly, to all the Steve Waugh bashers on this thread, get real! He was without a doubt one of the finest cricketers & captains to ever play for Australia.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, on to the real issue. While I would have no problem with naming the stand after either S Waugh or R Benaud, I truly think it is about time the SCG Trust acknowleged that the Swans are a part of SCG history( admitedly only the last 25 years) & named the new stan d after one of the greatest Swans of all. THE TONY LOCKETT STAND!
After all, Plugger provided one of the greatest moments ever at the SCG when he kicked goal number 1300 & broke Coventrys record.Red & White forever.Comment

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.

If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.

b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
