      Obviously illegal contraband at the SCG.

      Maybe Roos is the only one allowed lollies.

        At least he'll get some now that Hally has retired.

            Heck yes!

            Or at least have a designated family area so we can have a choice of not having kids around

              I feel the same about a number of adults too.

                Can we have another designated area for non-drinkers, and another for heavy drinkers - and for St Kilda fans?

                  Yes to both ideas
                  I can never figure out the people who pay for a Season pass yet spend their time traveling to and from the bar or chatting about their social lives (or telling everyone around them how bad the Boys are at the mo)

                  Maybe a cone of silence around the more annoying people?
                  I had a saints supporter beating seats and grunting every time his team got the ball-wanted to thump him but just told him to enjoy it while it lasted, his team would not be in the same position again

                    There are two family designated, non drinking areas. Bay 32 (behind the Swans bench) and Bay ... 11 for memory.

                      Apropo nothing - if anyone is out there who actually goes to games to ignore what is going on and bitch gossip with their girlfriends, or if some of the blokes could answer why they spend the majority of the more exciting moments shoving their arses in our faces while forcing their way through with or without three beers in plastic cups please answer this question.

                      Why do you come to the football?

                      Its got me fascinated and I am sure there is a social more going on here. But I fail to see the fascination of paying good money to not watch the game or to pay a fortune to drink yourselves silly and not watch the game.

                      Anyone?

                        Can't understand it at all.....we had 4 blokes behind us (2 of whom were wearing swans scarves) in the Ladies Stand who ignored the footy & gossiped among themselves all night long

                          maybe we need to have a special section for people who only wish to be amongst those that go to the footy in the proper way?

                          the area could be a largely unseated bog with a few pine benches, have poor toilet access and no protection from the elements other than that given by the special panels erected to block the view of the video screens.

                          but what to call this particular membership class? the sydney simulcra has a nice ring to it.
                          then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                            Although perhaps we might need to have 10000 such areas as the 10000 people who want to do it the proper way all probably have a different opinion on what is proper!
                            I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                            We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                              I know what you mean Stella, but I am not including the "proper" watchers, such as the Doom and Gloom couple who we moved away from after sitting in the same seats for eleven years because they bag even the toppies in the ressies matches. I acknowledge they watch the game minutely although they create a black hole of negativity around them, people avoid sitting near them even tho they are in prime seats.

                              Our aim is at the people who pay good money for seats then talk on the phone to someone or other for an hour about uncle charlies operation (they used staples apparently), or what their boyfriends did last night, or apply nail polish, or sit and have a three way conversation for four quarters without even bothering to keep a weather eye on what is happening on the field. Or as someone is steaming down with the ball bouncing heading towards goal stands up in front of the screaming footy fans and asks his mates for a head count on who wants a beer.

                              That is the kind of footy goer I just don't get. Why are they there!

                                I liked Eddie McGuire's description in the footy record about what it was like to watch the Pies as a kid at Victoria Park. Sounded serene compared to those ball throwing, drunken yobbo, loud kids at the sCG the other night.
