Will ANZ Stadium be redveloped with no AFL?

[Beaussie]

Hmm, Swans fans have spoken. No more ANZ Stadium.

Sydney Swans will play all home matches at the SCG from 2017 onwards

The Sydney Swans and SCG Trust will this morning announce a long-term deal which will see them play all their home games post 2016 at the SCG.

The agreement will also include finals.

The Swans have called a joint press conference with the SCG Trust at 11am today, at which Sydney chairman Andrew Pridham, chief executive Andrew Ireland and senior coach John Longmire will appear, where they will announce the new deal.

This will end a relationship with the AFL and ANZ Stadium which began in 2002 when the Olympic Stadium was reconfigured after the Olympics to an oval shape to accommodate Aussie Rules and cricket.

The AFL has scheduled three games with big drawing clubs each year since 2002 plus finals.

The recent redevelopment of the SCG to increase it’s capacity to 48,000 will also mean finals from 2017 onwards will be played at the ground the Swans have called home since 1982.

The Swans’ move away from ANZ Stadium and commitment to the SCG could effect funding for the proposed redevelopment of the Olympic venue.

The Swans will play three games at ANZ Stadium next year plus finals, Essendon (Round 1), Geelong (Round 7) and Hawthorn (Round 16).

Well
Lets face it... the swines have declined so far
ANZ is now too big for them

Theyve only had 1attendance In the last 9 seasons including finals
That wouldnt have fitted easily into the current SCG capcity

ANZ will now be bulldozed to the ground n replaced with apartments giving the govt the money to fund a new rectangle 70k seat venue probably on the site of Allianz stadium n its car park & the last piece will be a new 45K seat rectangle indoor venue at liverpool
this will properly service the NRLs needs & some other minor sports like union & sooker for the next 50 years

All of this to be completed by 2020

NRL ANZ stadium H&A average 19,973k finals Average 24,666k thats including grand finals
AFL ANZ stadium H&A average 41,196k finals average 45,840k no AFL GF has been played at the stadium

looks like its to big for the NRL dribbler dave
the swans signed a deal today to play all games at the SCG from 2017
The Sydney Swans will play all home matches at the SCG from 2017 following the signing of a new 30-year agreement.

The new deal also includes the provision for the AFL to schedule finals matches at the SCG.

In a boost for Swans fans, it will see all Swans games return to the ‘spiritual home’ of the SCG, where the Club first played in 1980 and relocated permanently in 1982.

Sydney Swans Chairman Andrew Pridham said feedback from members was one of the catalysts for the decision.

“We have received a lot of feedback on the current stadium arrangements, and it was clear our members and fans located in Sydney, broader New South Wales and in fact Australia, wanted the SCG to be our one and only home," he said.

“For this to happen it was important that any new agreement met a range of requirements, most notably financial, scheduling and match day experience. I think this new long term agreement achieves this superbly and I thank the SCG Trust for the professional manner in which they approached the negotiations.

“The SCG was our home when we first arrived in Sydney, we train every day at the ground and there is no doubt it remains the spiritual home for our Club in Sydney.

“The SCG is one of the world’s best and historic sporting stadiums and we are thrilled to call it home.”

Sydney Swans CEO Andrew Ireland said he wished to acknowledge and thank ANZ Stadium, which has hosted Swans matches since 2002 and under the current agreement, will continue to until the end of 2016.

“The current stadium agreement with ANZ Stadium has been an important period for our Club," he said.

“We believe playing a number of matches at ANZ Stadium has been important for the growth of the code and helped paved the way for a new team in Sydney's west.

“We understand we have a great fan base located in and around Sydney’s west, but we also know that the SCG is a hugely popular venue with all fans, and as such, we will remain a team that represents all of Sydney.

“Having a single home ground for our Club is important to us and gives us the opportunity to better work with the SCG on delivering the best possible fan experience. In addition, the long term nature of the agreement best enables us to plan for the future growth in the Club’s requirements for training and administration facilities.

“We had a number of sell-out matches in 2014 and with a fixture full of big matches in 2015 we are likely to see the same. At the moment fewer than 5000 reserved seat memberships remain for next year.

“We understand that under this new agreement, there will be more sold-out games than ever before, which means the need to secure seats as a member will be more important than ever before,” Ireland said.

so lets bulldoze the dump, there is no need for it ANZ, as the AFL will no longer be using it after 2016 & its just to big for the NRL

You are way wrong because some teams average over 30k at that ground for home and away matches while others are averaging around the 60k mark for finals, you just don't know how to read the figures right because you are as useless as a box of hammers.

[Raiderdave]

The swines never went close to filling it


Ever....


& now cant even half fill it :_<>

The swines were given the tip by the govt
ANZ was to go in the next 5 years because the NRL didnt want it .. so theyd have to move back all games to the SCG

So they are now making out it was their decision
Fucking hilarious :_<>

[AFLcrap1]

The facts are .AFL has never sold ANZ out ,or even come close to filling it.
You continually show your rampant stupidity.
This yr RL filled it 3 times 82k.
Please name a yr that Aflol has filled it..
I'll wait.
&
RD you are arguing with a fucknuckle who thinks a man & his son are the same person ,although the father who has been dead for 9 yrs is buying Souths memberships.
He also claims that NRL has nor expanded outside QLD & NSW ..even though there are teams in ACT & Vic...lol.
He also claims that TV viewers are imaginary people.

Jesus we should get a medal for trying to talk sense to someone with an obvious mental disorder.

yeah the NRL GF that most struggles to sell out & SOO, for the 1 or 2 times a year its played there. out side of that its fucken empty
as i showed you in the averages the swans are far ahead than the whole shitty NRL comp
out side of the GF or SOO the NRL has never gone close to filling it
thats why the NRL has such a LOW average there, much lower than the swans
