It’s the SCG!!!

[Salvatori Grubber]

I’m pumped for our own Parra stadium, but the club have taken us Members for mugs. Me and my mate have decided to sit in front of a tv in the bar, rather than sit in our prime seats on the half way line, half way up. Prime seats. Like watching from home, but adding to the gate.

On this fackking ground, being ovular (a bizarrely difficult word to type on iPhoneX), it’s genuinely the only way to watch this game. You can’t see the _lines_, which means you can’t see the plays coming. It’s the equivalent of reading a live play-by-play written by a junior reporter.

Im a Roosters *Gold* Member, btw.

I am a season ticket holder but the tyranny of distance from my home to the SCG is making it difficult to get to the games as often as before. I live near Wollongong, watching the game on TV in the comfort of home plus the fact I can buy a 6 pack from the bottle O for just more than the price of a mid strength plastic cup of spew makes it far more enticing to not go the games these days....

I do hope to get a a few games this year but I hardly get excited about it on game day knowing I won't see about half of the action if I sit in my seat.......

Someone will do their knee there.. it won’t be long till it happens. The amount of times players slipped over was ridiculous. The SCG is just not up to standard of our game and it’s a shame that we have to play there for the next 3 years. The ground looks atrocious too.

Yeah i usually go to the Anzac games each year but decided to give it a miss today... because of the SCG.. i just dont feel like forking out hard earnt money for a below average experience.

It’s a terrible place to watch the footy. But they are our roosters so we have to go. No choice.

Well said JT. This thread will come up after every SCG game.

I’m in the same boat. On many occasions I have flown in from O/S for this one game or if I’m in Aus, I will come from interstate, diving thousands ok Kms just to be there but not this year. I can support them from a distance and be just as profitable to the club in doing so. I don’t need the displeasure of a terrible viewing experience to show my support.

Well we turned up today and the was a Saints supporter sitting in 1 of you 7 Gold member seats.

What's bizarre about this is he had a ticket with the same row and seat number printed on it.

The membership operation at our club is well below what it should be considering our fickle fan base.

Nothing like facing the sun in the first 40 minutes and then having the after game presentation facing the SCG members, rather than gold season ticket holders.

[Bansai Pipeline]

Was always going to suck, moving to the SCG.

North Sydney oval would be epic.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Disdain is what the club has for us.

Good point.

At least I got a suntan.....well ok , just a red face really.

[The Axe]

Sad to walk past old roostersdome and see the shell that now exists. Exciting to see how our new ground will develop.

thought they may have pointed the cannons at the eastern and western stands and assisted the demolition

cant understand people wanting to go to north sydney oval. Mini SCG. Viewing not much better. We just need to suck it up for 3 years

Queuing up for an hour in the sun to get into the place was no fun.

Why didn’t you just tell them who you are?
