Poll: If we get a home final, where should it be played?

[RogueSwan]

..You mob are kidding yourselves. Next there will be a poll on the design for our grand final T-shirts!

Roos with angel wings and Kirk with a halo? or the other way around?

[laughingnome]

Strewth, have we turned into Saints fans over night? A week ago, the angry mob was arguing how quickly we could escort Roos and his hopeless jokes off the premises, now we're arguing about where to play a home final?

Sounds more like Carlton then St Kilda fans to me. They need to get some lithium stat.

I voted for the SCG. However, there are a few good things I find about Homebush over the SCG. One is the absence of major traffic on the way to the ground, and the convenience of parking (if you get to park at No. 1 Parking Statition). The food halls, with the live music playing, are also a lot of fun. Finally, if the crowd exceeds 60,000 the atmosphere is fantastic.

OK all ANZ supporters, so after the game, where can you walk to for a good feed and a good drink or do you all just leave and go home? I like to enjoy a beer (or three) after a game with mates and talk about the game. ANZ makes that impossible. There is no decent food or decent pub - the closest is a 20-30 minute walk thru the park to Concord west. At the SCG we can wander outside have Crown St, Cleveland St (plus others) with any number of bars/food/pubs avaialable. Now if the white elephant could have that - all would be good.

Really, the only thing I would improve about the SCG would be the restoration of the Tramline (light rail) from Circular Quay to La Perouse down ANZAC Parade. Those event buses - $5.40 return - are a total gyp.

and the game has been exposed to tens of thousands of people who would never have been able to see a Swans game live.

Where are they now?

They were not at ANZ for our last final and they were not there against the Cats a few weeks. Why are we pandering to these people who turned up for a game or two in 2007 and have shown no further interest?

ANZ is pathetic to watch footy at, it's that simple. I understand that from a financial perspective we need to play there but that doesn't stop me hoping that will change so that we can get back to the SCG full-time.

No mate, it's not that simple. We've played some fantastic games at Homebush over the years and the atmosphere has been wonderful. Even at the poorly-attended final against North a couple of years ago, the atmosphere was great.

And hopefully, we'll qualify for a home final this year, get a huge crowd at Homebush, and march on to the semis and beyond.

That's not the way I remember it. Maybe it was all the echoes off the concrete.

It's that simple for me. I don't like the joint because it's a poor venue to watch sport from. Whether you get 8 or 80,000 it's still a poor ground.

At the end of the day we can disagree all we like but this is what we all want and it's what bonds us ALL together

Sure is.

Half the seats don't even face the middle!

Probably more to do with all the real diehards being there and being prepared to make a lot of noise.

It still boggles the mind that they had a blank slate to build a great ground and that's the what they came up with.

Having visited just abour every major stadium in the country, I'd have to disagree.

Saying that half the seats don't even face the middle is just plain absurd. Which seats? I've watched numerous events from all over the venue and they ALL face the middle.

It doesn't worry me too much, we have a fun time at both venues, they are both very different. I have to take the tin lids home, but isnt there a licensed club out at Homebush were you could gather afterwards. Courtesy of The Olympics we are lucky to have this stadium. it's a great cycling spot too.
