Interesting choice!

Oh great [emoji35].
Cricket NSW has just moved this week’s Sheffield Shield match from SCG because ground around the pitch planned to be used hasn’t recovered sufficiently from the Roosters practising there before the GF. So if the actual GF is played there next year recovery will probably take even longer.
I was planning to go to this SS match, and while the shift to Drummoyne is not far away it is less convenient as I can walk to SCG - plus there is a special vibe to cricket at the SCG. -
Detailed plans went out a few months back if I remember correctly. NSW doesn't seem to worry about 'business cases' stacking up for stadiums under the current government.
Amazed the NRL didn't use the opportunity to take the grand final on tour. Would of got a lot of money from QLD for one, and surely Perth would likewise have stumped up big time for another. Given the likely delays in ANZ's redevelopment, maybe 2022 and 2023 might tour if the ground isn't ready."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I doubt it'll be many more games Mel. I expect the teams that currently play out of ANZ (Bulldogs and Souths) will play most of their home games for the couple of seasons at Bankwest Stadium in Parramatta, rather than the SCG."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

It's the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust that manages the football stadium next door to the SCG that put a lot of pressure on the NSW government to do the redevelopment of that stadium.
Why the government thinks it's a good idea to do it and ANZ stadium at the same time is a mystery to me. Staggering it would have been more sensible.All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund BurkeComment
