I wonder what. Wasn't there some talk of moving the admin and training facilities elsewhere?

All games from 2016 to be played at SCG

[churry]

Fantastic news. Hopefully it's a long term deal.
Check out @neilcordy's Tweet: Neil Cordy on Twitter: "Swans will play all games post 2015 at SCG. Announcement at 11am @superfooty"

"Swans will play all games post 2015 at SCG

All home games, presumably, or the Victorians really will have a case

Correction posted - from 2017:

Neil Cordy on Twitter: "@superfooty correction SCG Deal will be from 2017"

Makes sense since the ANZ contract is to end of 2016.

[BigBadBrazza]

apparently it doesn't happen until 2017 that all home games will be at the SCG

[Bloodthirsty]

Sorry. I can't wait for 2 years to actually have a home ground advantage.

[i'm-uninformed2]

Either way - brilliant.

And here's the best bit - that flat-faced ferret Mike Fitzpatrick has a corporate stake in ANZ Stadium so we deny him a revenue line.

Barry must be in mourning.

[ernie koala]

Hallelujah !!

I wonder if this was the Swans Idea as there are also plans to turn ANZ into a rectangle with a roof. Either way I reckon 98% of the Swans faithful will be rejoicing....

[jono2707]

Good news all round - Homebush will get an improved rectangular stadium, meaning it'll stop trying to be all things to all sports, and we get to play all our home games at home. Yay.

[neilfws]

Here's the statement. 30 year deal!

Swans to play all home matches at SCG from 2017

[CJK]

The dream is real.

[churry]

30 years! Bloody brilliant. The ANZ experiment didn't work and there was no point considering it if the SCG trust offered a reasonable deal which they obviously did. It's a good Monday.
