2009 Fixture

Saturday or Sunday I'm not too fussed. 2.10pm is great!

Although it will be a proud moment to be part of the normal footy tradition and turn up on a Saturday arvo after a morning of whatever a quick lunch wherever and with whomever then watch the game however and still have time to return to family or party on.

I've been looking forward to it for a long time.

Hear hear.
I'm looking forward to Saturday arvo games.

Any idea on who the swans play in the NAB Cup?

If we're playing a smart coach (like my mate Roosey), the reserves side of any opposition we draw.

I hope Roosy tells the whole team to 'go forward, but don't kick a goal'.

Did absolute wonders for the last bloke he......allegedly.....said it to.

yes, we can finally wash that stain of shame that we, as lesser fans, have been bearing for so long........

Totally agree!`Cannot wait for the Saturday arvo game and then back to the club for a few drinkies without having to worry about work the next day.

Not totally sure how Junior AFL operates here in Sydney, but it wouldn't surprise to see them juggle days or even have a complete week off to enable as many juniors as possible to attend the Saturday games.

Just as long as Jarrod McVeigh gets sent on & doesn't kick a goal.

I'm a bit worried about the Saturday arvo games as I work every second Saturday and it would be just my luck to have to work on both of those Saturdays.

Interesting titbit in the Herald today:

What would you do for half a million dollars? If you're the Sydney Swans, you'd host a fourth game at ANZ Stadium. The word is the stadium offered the club $500,000 to host another match there and the Swans have ditched a game at an atmospheric stadium (SCG) and taken the moolah to play at Homebush Bay - "selling their soul" was how one source put it. In the past the Swans were required to play four games at ANZ, but that requirement went down to three when their crowd averages dropped last year. However, ANZ, eager to host Swans matches, kicked in the extra cash and the trek for fans continues ?

I'm guessing the WC game is the extra one?

It's probably the Hawthorn game, given they won the flag and all...

[EMJ]

the trouble is with the match passes at ANZ - 3 or 4 games - the tickets purchased give you no view unless you have a very good pair of binoculars.

Hopeless seats and as high as you can go.

Doesnt make you want to come back again.
