Didn't want it - too far from action - too far away and no atmospher - but RL is used to that so I guess it's a win win!eelofwest wrote:Beaussie wrote:AFL fans have clearly said they hate ANZ Stadium.

ANZ is going to be a permanent rectangular stadium when upgraded. So will be no good for AFL anymore.
Too bad Giants lol
Rectangular codes are more important.
If the AFL had its time again they would not have given up the 83k venue to the NRL.
Now the NRL will have a world class 75k venue with a roof and a permanent rectangle.
Also the steepest stands in the country.
As Gerard whateley said on offsiders after the announcement.
''How are the AFL heavies in Sydney on the SCG trust board going to go back to AFLHQ and tell then we just lost a 83k capacity stadium and handed it over to the NRL and now there is a 700m+ upgrade being done for the NRL and rectangular codes''![]()
Have a look at the new stadium, its going to be a peach.![]()

Re: AFL hijack of Sydney for first NRL finals weekend
It will be interesting if the AFL get more to their final than a sydney nrl final. Where thr AFL need to improve though is ratings.

Re: AFL hijack of Sydney for first NRL finals weekend
Err.....no contractual obligations forced us to use it THIS year - the AFL worked out a compromise in the event of Sydney v GWS final it would be used - has more to do with a contract than what the parties wanted - as far as future is concerned who cares I prefer SCG it has atmospher - if it's so good why are they reducing capacity of a stadium only 16 yrs old by 11k. Answer is simple it's a shit stadium and there is no need for that capacity says more about the other codes than it does AFL!NRL&NFLweLaughATafl wrote:A shit venue yet GWS and AFL wanted it for Giants semi finals.

Re: AFL hijack of Sydney for first NRL finals weekend
Mate which ever way you look at it. GWS will not have a large stadium to play finals games in Sydneys West once the rectangular upgrade happens to ANZ.Swans4ever wrote:Err.....no contractual obligations forced us to use it THIS year - the AFL worked out a compromise in the event of Sydney v GWS final it would be used - has more to do with a contract than what the parties wanted - as far as future is concerned who cares I prefer SCG it has atmospher - if it's so good why are they reducing capacity of a stadium only 16 yrs old by 11k.

You see the state government knows AFL is not really popular in Sydneys West. Hence the rectangular sports stadium upgrade to an oval stadium.
Real sports gets priority which is too bad for gws hey.

Re: AFL hijack of Sydney for first NRL finals weekend
And that's why the NSW Premier was on to tonight asking if it is a Swans v Giants GF then why isn't it played in Sydney - I guess it's all about perspective really you don't like the game so from your perspective you'd like to see all the AFL posts pulled down and people forced to play RL at gun point - me I'm happy with diversity and am happy to have Melb Storm and for them to bring in Western Reds and Adelaide RAMS again doesn't take a thing away from AFL.

Re: AFL hijack of Sydney for first NRL finals weekend
Is more of a case of AFL fans being insular and not allowing other codes to use their grounds. Sound familiar??Swans4ever wrote:And that's why the NSW Premier was on to tonight asking if it is a Swans v Giants GF then why isn't it played in Sydney - I guess it's all about perspective really you don't like the game so from your perspective you'd like to see all the AFL posts pulled down and people forced to play RL at gun point - me I'm happy with diversity and am happy to have Melb Storm and for them to bring in Western Reds and Adelaide RAMS again doesn't take a thing away from AFL.

I follow football, rugby and grid iron codes too unlike you. :>::
As for NSW premier Baird. Are you seriously using him as an example for AFL popularity lol???
That guy is the most unpopular premier in history.
Your hilarious man.

And now I know your not born and bred in Sydney if your calling me a Sydney person lol.. Typical Melbourner pretending they live in Sydney and follow the Swans.
So desperate.
