Swans set to get home finals at SCG. Price agreed upon, they're just sorting out how many tickets members of Stadium Australia will get, 5K knocked back.

So awesome to see that our massive growth in membership sees us sixth on the table, having overtaken Adelaide, Port and Freo this year.

They always have but in this case they're probably counting China too. ;)

It's pretty easy to grow your membership when you are a constant flag chance. Sydney sports fans are the most fickle in the country so the real test will be keeping the fans when they have a few lean years

Yeah sure when the football factory if an Academy dries up. Christ some guns have come out of there and cost them little. Cant see them dropping too much for a while with the young talent on there list.

Also add to the fact the big names they have been able to get but also and credit to them here is the recycled players that have turned ut to be really useful.

That's the part I don't get, we can have a home final but if we play GWS who finish below us, we can't :shock:

Yeah I get that mate. I am sure all 6 supporters of GWS will enjoy the extra space. Ridiculous though

Insane decision, esp. if they let Geelong play at Geelong. $ rule the AFL.

Are you saying finals shouldn't be played at SCG?
