    Does anyone here sit in the O'Rielly? What do you think of it? I know it gets the sun but iam just glad to be in an aisle seat and away from the half arsed football supporters that sat around me in the Brewongle.
    Not too may half arsed in the big B mate..plenty long term people, that's why it's so hard to get in there.... cos they won't leave. And enjoy the sun in your eyes! Granted an aisle seat is awesome. Oh, and the great leggie is spelt O'Reilly.

      Yeah mate, I am in the O'Reilly and have been ever since the Swans came to Sydney. I sit 5 rows from the back so only get a bit of sun late in the afternoon if at all. Love the O'Reilly and the loyal members that surround.

          Brewongle Concourse is a great place to be. Lots of loud die hards there.

            Obviously nowhere near our seats. We've been known to get a bit feral sometimes.
            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

              My Brewongle seat has the walkway behind me. So It's on the seat and over the railings to get out.

              I have had the seat since 1997 and have no intention of giving it up either!

                  My seat is in the bay above where the TV cameras are and I will never give up it up. It's probably the reason I dislike ANZ so much because no seat in the joint can replicate the view I have at the SCG.

                    From what I hear "a bit" and "sometimes" are a massive understatement.

                      I'm in the Noble. Love sitting behind the goals, especially at the SCG. Only compliant is that there isn't much atmosphere there, especially during the first half. When the game is close they get going, but takes a heart stopper for it to happen

                        I'm in the Bradman and think it's the best spot. On the top tier, close to the railing (About 4 rows back) and right on the 50m arc. Don't know why people bag the Bradman stand. Sure it's older but it's closer to the action then the Brewongle. Has no sun issues and is generally covered. On top of that it has the shortest queues for bar, food and toilets. All "Gold" seating too.

                          We are up in the Noble, just around from the point post, and have been here since, umm, 1998, having started down on the concorse and trying other possibilities around the ground (which you could then). Mostly a nice mob around me, sometimes hilarous, have a giggle at the girlies who arrive in high heels and fashionista clothes, go balistic when the Cricket Mob sit there and chat about fashion and jobs or get up and take orders for drinks, blocking out game in progress.

                          Its not ideal, but I really like the mob around me (now), which has taken some years to form. Wildly variable. The vision is brilliant. Out of the sun, out of the rain. And although they aren't allocated seats, they are in fact allocated. We all know where we sit, and we always take the usual seats. Even the SCG seat natzis have left off harrassing the Usual Suspects.

                          Had to move early last year, same row but along about 6 seats as there are a couple who took to sitting behind us that found the whole game miserable, and it just wasn't pleasant to be there. It was HARD to sit in a fractionally different angle! I am careful where I place myself as I suffer from Footy Tourettes, and children should not be sitting in front of me.

                          I like being in the Noble. At least I can change seats if I don't like my surrounding mob.

                            I'm sorry, but I just can't argue that!!

                              We sit behind and along one bay from the reserves and the injured.

                              They can still hear me though when I call out to them.

                                I'm another Bay 29 "long-termer". They'll have to drag me out of there in a wooden box. The fans there are largely passionate, knowledgeable and keep it clean while getting stuck into the other team.
