ANZ stadium

Rather than polute the match day thread, this is a special thread for all the haters to vent in.

Out of curiosity where do you sit at ANZ Barry?
I only ask because last year I did get a chance to sit up in the members area and yes the view of the ground & the facilities are great.
BUT have you ever watched the game at the plebs level?
The difference is huge.

I had gold tickets for Round 1, and they were pretty crappy.
Couldn't see anything on our wing side.

Sounds as if you're inviting abuse barry?

[dimelb]

I think this is a generous move on barry's part.

[aardvark]

This thread is as obsolete as ANZ.

[jono2707]

Shoulda started this thread a few years ago - it might have rivaled the Tippett tread by now ????

Member level 4 or 1 on wing.
Yes much better than xheap seats.

Massive month of sport Ahead for ANZ fans : Chelsea. Totenham hot spur. Geelong, state of origin.

ANZ is under seige at the moment, with many financial struggles

It needs an overhaul. 2 thinks would improve it substantially.
1. A roof. Dry footy and much better accoustics.
2. A partner deal with spotless stadium. With the swans abandoning the west, ANZ members need an AFL option. A deal will allows giants to shift bigger drawing games to ANZ in the future.

They can't even draw people to Spotless... what makes you think that it's financially viable to use ANZ?
ANZ have to make money, you know.

The majority of Sydney's sports fans are fickle (not Swans fans on here, of course). If GWS get to 8-2, there will be plenty of them coming out of the woodwork including many new fans to the game. They'll be watching now and after a few more wins would start going to games.

Yes, no one would have predicted swans 1997 crowds in 1993.

Success brings people
