Preliminary Final Venue?

[annew]

So which rugby teams do I need to support so that ANZ Stadium is not available on Friday Sept 19?

[Zlatorog]

Panthers. They need to win on Monday to get into top 4.

Thanks

Is every thread going to be an ANZ bash mods?

Maybe you should support the swans first and foremost and actually go to finals instead of worrying about rugby league.

Any swans member who failed to show up today should hang their heads in shame. Not real fans.

Rugby league teams.

A news ltd report seemed to suggest that afl would have the precedence over league on prelim final weekend

ANZ is a lock for the prelim. 2 weeks of dummy spits coming to RWO

I go to every home swans game regardless, and I was there today, however I just feel there is a better atmosphere at the SCG if we are only getting 35000 attending.

Swans announcement says ANZ Stadium ( to be confirmed) so it does not appear to be a lock.

Can we request to play our home final at the MCG? Is it a right or an obligation to play the game in your home state?

The stadium would be packed and should be a really good atmosphere. We know the ground is always in good condition. And we get to practice on the GF ground. We should smash whoever we play regardless of the arena.

The MCG is the greatest venue of them all. I love it. It's actually closer to the city than the SCG. I think Paul Sheehan would love your proposal.

On the ANZ debate. When I played local Football in the 2000s, the tickets to go to the Swans games at ANZ were the easiest tickets to come across in living memory. Our head coach used to say at the end of training:

"I have 30 tickets to ANZ, who wants to go".

Has this practice been tightened up? Maybe someone involved in local Sydney Football can confirm if this still happens.

If this does not happen anymore then less people would go.

You would have thought 7,000 Dockers fans would have turned up , but it was a paltry number of them. Lots more Richmond bods last week.
Pretty expensive to get across I know.... But thought there would have been more...

Dockers fans were never going to turn up. They were guaranteed to play a home final either next week or the week after and then possibility of having to pay to go to a GF.

They kept their money in their pocket. Can't blame them. Very expensive trips.

7 wins from 8 finals at ANZ. I love the SCG but happy to win wherever if that's the strike rate.

For the crowd trakers, last night s game would've put a shiver down you spine.

Best possible scenario is vs geelong , great weather, good publicity, good ticket prices.

Worst possible scenario is vs north, raining, $$ ticket s.
