& this isn't the fight club .
All I did was clear up some post of yours that was wrong .
If you can't handle that without being abusive then don't post in here .
Face facts son .
RL holds the record .

It's official
Then there's this from a BF poster who was there .
& why would an AFL fan lie about a rival sport .







Les forgets the opening round of 1999 NRL season was the opening of Stadium Australia, 18 months before the Olympics and 104,583 turned up. Yes it was for a double header but there was close to 100,000 in the first game Manly v Newcastle. I was there, as I lived down the road at Concord.

Lol trolling BF!
I couldn't care the nrlol holds the crowd record there, in just pointing out the usual pathetic ness from the nrlolit needed a double header

You must care
You posted this ...even though youve been shown to be wrong about this in the past .


RL has played hundreds of more games there!
but it is good to see the swans still hold the record for best H&A crowd and finals crowd (non GF)
probably best average as well

Glad I could help .
Move on son . You were wrong again .

Just because I've proven your claim wrong is no need to carry on .
Just accept it & move on

A Sydney Swans v GWS Giants final could be played at ANZ Stadium, says AFL boss

LIKE a recurring bad dream for Sydney Swans fans, ANZ Stadium won’t go away.

AFL boss Gillon McLachlan told The Daily Telegraph the Olympic venue could be used should the two Sydney teams meet in the finals.

The red and white faithful thought their 36-point loss to the Giants in last year’s qualifying final was the last time they would see the ground they love to hate.

But with work reconfiguring ANZ Stadium into a rectangular venue not starting until 2019, there is an opportunity for the AFL to play finals matches there.

“The finals platform ANZ provides and the Sydney rivalry means we should be showcasing it to the widest possible audience,” McLachlan said.

“The fact that there were more than 60,000 people there at the qualifying finals shows how much demand there is and if we played it at another venue we would have locked out a lot of people.”

After the success of the qualifying final the AFL even sounded out ANZ Stadium management on the prospect of playing the first of this year’s Sydney derbies at the ground. But commitments to NRL matches prevented this from happening.

The one saving grace for the Swans is if they finish higher on the ladder than the Giants they will not be forced to play at ANZ Stadium for any finals against GWS and will play all of them at the SCG.

Last year the Swans won the minor premiership (GWS finished fourth) but were obliged by AFL contractual obligations to play at ANZ despite not having played there for more than a year.

The Giants hadn’t played there since 2013 but have no problem playing at ANZ.

“The Swans-Giants final was one of the most significant moments in AFL history in Sydney,” Giants CEO David Matthews said.

“If there was a chance to replicate that we’d absolutely welcome it, including the result.”

The Swans have a 30-year deal with the SCG to play all their home-and-away matches and home finals there.

With the continued success of the Swans and the dramatic improvement of the Giants, McLachlan sees a window of opportunity to continue the rapid development of the code in NSW and the ACT.

“The rivalry is real and will drive a lot of interest,” McLachlan said.

“We’ve got real momentum at the community level and the elite. Clearly the Giants are coming through after making a tough start but having such a great year last year. The Swans have been an amazing team for some time. With the launch of the AFLW the elite and community are firing.”

“The Giants are 50 per cent ahead on memberships and are confident of going from 15,000 to 20,000 this year. The Swans are now one of the biggest sporting clubs in the country.”
