SCG Redevelopment Stage 2: Noble, Bradman, Messenger

Mailout arrived from the club yesterday. The new Red Zone is Bays 316, 317 and 318 in the Trumper stand (the three closect to the Churchill) and Bays 13-17 on the concourse. No sun in the eyes, down the ground view, best that could have been hoped for. The difference is that there are now only three grandstand bays, so it will very much be a case of the early birds (the ressie watchers) bagging the good seats.
It would appear that General Admission on the Trumper concourse has gone by the board, all Red Zone now.
Long term members in the other stands will get their turn in the future, as upgrades to Brewongle, Churchill and O'Reilly stands are next on the agenda, presumably when the capacity cap agreed to before the Olympics expires.
The playing length will be stretched agin, the minimum ground length will be 155 metres, isn't the G only 160 metres?Pay peanuts get monkeysComment

It's not as if the ground has been anywhere near to capacity in the last couple of years.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

I live a short walk from Kardinia Park, now they have something to complain about. The ground is usually at capacity and they have demolished the Doug Wade Stand to rebuild it. It will be good when finished, but where are all of those supporters going to sit this year and next? Probably at home, now that's grounds for complaint.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

I'm so glad I went down there last year to see that win we had against the Cats. I was sitting in little Bay 38 with most of our other supporters. One of the best trips I've ever done.Comment

highly unlikely - they are a passionate bunch down that way - the loss was going to happen eventually - we were just lucky that it was us who broke the drought - Geelong are still the best team going around.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Passionate doesn't even begin to describe it. But they are pretty good sports about it too, Mind you if we had won 3 of the last 5 flags I'd be pretty easy to get on with too.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

Sorry to hear you're not happy with the number of seats available. We've done everything we can to recreate a similar area to the Noble Stand, without disrupting too many other members who currently sit in the Victor Trumper Stand. There will be just under 1,800 seats in Bays 316-318 for the Red Zone, all undercover and all with a great view of the footy. I hope you'll be able to enjoy the game from here for the next two years, keeping in mind the great facilities you'll enjoy once construction has been completed for the 2014 season.
Thanks,
JennyComment

Just a reminder - it's the SCG that's redeveloping these stands, not the Swans. I'm sure our club is doing the very best to accommodate members while the SCG carries on with building work. Personally, I'd really rather the government contributions to the redevelopment were spent on improving roads, hospitals and support for carers, but hey - that's just me!All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund BurkeComment

Buying reserve seats isn't really an option, since my football going companions are a revolving cast.
I've still bought my membership, though, don't worry.
And I was never remotely bothered by the existing facilities in the members area. I'm going to watch the football, not get a day spa treatment. Seriously, people whinging about the bloody bathrooms should be the last people throwing around accusations of being precious.Last edited by J_Moore; 13 February 2012, 10:42 AM.Comment

Hey relax, guy. I'm not gnashing my teeth about it or anything, and I don't think it's the end of the world, and it's unavoidable if they want to upgrade the stands. But it does mean a fair bit of inconvenience if I'm going to get remotely equivalent seating to what I have in the past, since there's only a couple of red zone bays with decent elevated views (and cover, which would be handy, since it hasn't stopped raining here in about a year).
