BeefB Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Looking forward to getting down there for the Community Day. It’s looking awesome from the latest pics seen in here. Thanks to those who are posting these EmMac, Prydzopolis and Edinburgh 3 Link to comment
smirny Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but do we know if all seats are protected from the rain? Link to comment

Probably won't happen. The roof extends out quite a long way beyond the rear of the top deck. It's the front few rows of the lower bowl that are most at risk of blowing rain.

Prydzopolis Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 The true test will be the apocalyptic storm that only we experience on match days The positive? Hopefully it will allow a bit of breeze through on a hot day, that may provide a bit of comfort on those hot days. Well let’s hope. SomeGuy1977, Burztur, EmMac and 3 others 6 Link to comment

Yes, the gaps between the roof and the top deck are quite large at the top of each arch of the roofing. Should be great for letting breezes in. The old stadium was like a sauna at the back on warm/hot days. No gap whatsoever. Should be a bonus for us in summer, but I noticed an Eels fan complaining about the size of the gaps last week, and the cold winds they will let in during winter. It can't be perfect for everyone. wendybr and Prydzopolis 2 Link to comment

They’ll have plenty of time for the turf to recover. They have a 7’s league rubbish going on, turf will have a week to recover if we play the following weekend. Link to comment

Actually surprised the SCG didn’t hold up better, I’m sure it gets a work over for AFL but appears it was the scrums were the issue. Many times in Melbourne at AAMI where rugby games prior to football matches have not affected the surface long term Link to comment
FCWanderers Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The SCG trust have announced that they will replace 3000m2 of turf with ready to play Matrix turf from this turf company. https://www.evergreen.com.au/ready to play This article from the NRL goes into more detail The SCG confirmed that it planned to replace 3000m2 of the surface with ready-to-play Matrix turf from its farm supplies. The SCG has a further 22,000m2 available should further turf replacement be required during the Super Rugby, NRL, AFL and A-League seasons. The areas to be replaced are the 22m zones when the field is set up in an east-west configuration. For the NRL, the new turf will be partially on the outer edges of the field which is in the traditional north-south orientation. https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/03/10/scg-turf-wont-be-issue-for-roosters-rabbitohs-clash-after-plan-to-repair-super-rugby-damage/ Link to comment

They'll all be eating their prawn sangers sipping their ******* craft beer raising their glasses to the WDWSF, rather than replying. **** that. The only saving grace is that the other 3 sides of the stadium (27000 of us) will be full of wogs, inbreds, dole bludgers, illegal immigrants and so forth. People who actually give a shite about football. I just hope Fox Sports place the ground mics in the right positions, and we can hear proper football atmosphere, and not the shucking of oysters and popping of champagne corks.

Burztur Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I think after 3 seasons, the corporate side will be open to normal members again. Give it time. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
