    SCG Atmosphere

    Good to see the atmosphere at the SCG on Sat night didn't go unnoticed.

    Poor article due to lack of cheap 'Jack is cheap' gag.

      Have only been to the SCG twice for a footy match. Tha second time I was hungover from the Team of the Century bash. The first time I found the atmosphere very strained...as I had travellled up there to Sydney for what was Paul Kelly's 200th game and I turned around to see behind me in the Doug Walters stand my neighbour from 2 houses along the street with a woman who was not his wife. Hmmmm where do you loook but straight ahead at the game for the rest of the afternoon. His wife was a good friend of mine. I can tell you about ATMOSPHERE

        I would have looked at him for the whole match with a "how much is it worth to keep quiet" expression.

          Was that against West Coast if my memory serves me correctly?? I remember having a great day.

          Last Sat night was great too, three-quarter time was just epic.

            Sure was...a 70 point thrashing in 2000.

              Bizarrely I had the same experience with a neighbour who sat about five rows in front of me at a swans match a few years ago. Funnily enough I knew the girl he was with as well so it was very a very unusual atmosphere. I hadnt thought about it but the footy is a pretty good alibi for a fling and the wait in the carpark to get out afterwards is long enough to fit in some extra marital activity.

                  It made the night for me and it sounded on the replay like it went around the ground. Fantastic!

                            I thought it was a classic night. Reminded me of the great nights of the late 90s. 30,000 as a number didnt do it justice, there should have been more. Bradshaw had my 6 year old on her feet after the 1 hander and goal. I marked it in the diary as the moment she "got" footy.

                            I didnt drink a drop of booze all night (first time at the footy in 14 years) and found myself just high on footy. It was sloppy footy in some parts but it was exhilirating and down right gutsy. With no injuries, we'd have done the Lions by 10 goals.

                              Bradshaw gives the SCG crowd a rap while discussing "that goal"

                              Another SCG moment to saviour over the years.
