The last two SCG finals I have sat on your side of the ground (as you don't get to pick your seat) and have noticed the volume of EVERYTHING is much louder on that side of the ground. It can be irritating enough over in the O'Reilly trying to hold a conversation during one of the breaks and fighting with the noise. But at least you can try...not over in the Churchill or Brewongle.

Interesting comment Liz. I did wonder if the music was louder in the Brewongle. It sounded as if I had a powerful loudspeaker at full volume mounted on my right shoulder immediately behind my ear.
Just awful.Comment

No SC, but they did have "players choice".
Sinkers picked "easy"... now I'm assuming that's a redo of a commodores song. If it is, isn't it a bit "slow" for the footy?
(I could be wrong - who knows who the kids listen to these days!!)
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

The SCG is a tired old stadium, a hotch-potch of stand designs that look like the result of an Alan Jones tantrum, and speakers that probably date back the the goldern age of vinyl records.
... and we are stuck with it for 30 years!
Everytime I go there I am disappointed. Maybe when the tram opens in 2026 I might try again.Comment

Anyone missing it this year? I'm glad to see the back of it!Comment

So many people fed up with the noise. I hate it with a passion.
When will we be allowed to talk with one another?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

We were commenting on the noise on Friday night too. Nothing to do with the choice of song, it was actually before the game had even started. It was just noise, noise, noise. It's one reason why park footy is so appealing these days.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

How about a few emails to the club and/ or the SCG tomorrow?Comment

Yes it's all relative. In hindsight it seems mildly inoffensive compared to what has replaced it. More advertising, more noisy incoherent shrieking into a roaming mic, more bogan rock or vacuous contemporary pop songs. I'm not holding my breath for Foxtrot Sierra and His Uniforms, Minami Deutsch or King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, but seriously I'm yet to hear a song that's significantly better than SC come out of those speakers.
Meanwhile this whole voting for which song shd be played at 3 quarter time caper has heightened my cynicism. I wonder who is taking a cut of all those SMS costs whereby fans 'vote' for pre-arranged song choices? SC has it seems been replaced by a money-spinner. And apparently Wil Hayward really digs Bryan Adams, whereas Sam Reid can't get enough of Paul Simon's African grooves. Really?It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.
