Stark raving bl**dy mad, barmy as a Bombay Bellringer. No way you'd get me out in the rain all day I sit in the stands, did all the hard stuff when I was a kid following Glenelg (The Bays/Tigers). I won't be there today lots of expenses this week can't afford to go but will be at ANZ for the game against the Pies
Today's crowd v Richmond

I'll be in my usual spot - very outside in the front row on the 50 metre arc, getting soaked. Hopefully it will be a better result than the last wet SCG Tigers game at the SCG that I remember (2004?) when Richo finally found his mojo. God that was soggy and depressing.
Today I hope I've got rain on my teeth as we win by 100.Comment

The trusty plastic poncho means you're covered from head down to shins, so you stay dry in a downpour and even cosy because it's windproof as well. Which is good when you win ...He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

(says me planning to arrive 10 m before, and hoping janem doesn't take the last dry seat at the back of the Trumper)Comment

Thanks for that.
Do they let you up or do you really have to "sneak"?
I know my dad in Adelaide buys a child's ticket on rainy days. He uses his membership ticket to get into the ground and the $2.50 child's ticket to get into the stands. That is a bit cost prohibitive here as SCG children's tickets are $24!

We'll know if we're going to get a decent crowd by how many are in the Victor Trumper stand. That's where most of the opposition supporters tend to sit.
I predict we'll get a crowd of about 25,000.Comment

This is the third bad weather home game so far this season? Must be frustrating the financial controllers a bit.
I reckon there'll be about 23k, bad weather/against Richmond/long weekend- it being the third bout of not nice weather out of six home games will start to whittle folks down a tad.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 timeComment

A few years ago on the Queens Birthday weekend we played St Kilda at the SCG on a Saturday night. It poured and poured and poured. It was my Father in laws only game he has been too. I admired that he stayed until the end. BTW we lost that game by 2 points!Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

A few showers but it didn't really bucket down until about halfway through the last quarter. Not turning up cos of the weather is soft I'm afraid. My 6yo daughter was given the option and she still wanted to go. She said that if it rained, she'd put on a raincoat. Sounds fairly straightforward to me.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

You have to go back to 1995 for a smaller crowd against the Tigers at the SCG.Comment
