Something to look forward to when Toddy's state of the art rectangles are finished!

Although doubt he will pull the crowds to create long lines and food/beverage shortages...

The saddest part is that we have lost the WACA wicket forever

bland expensive stadiums, bland boring pitches, bland expensive food ..... globalization of sport as entertainment for the dumbed down masses, dumbed down by tacky loud music (noise), and corporate (bucket head) sponsors uniforms ........ CONSUME, BE SILENT, DIE

I recall a newspaper headline some years many ago when there had been a spate of gaol escapes ... it read "you would think that in NSW, after 200 years of being a penal colony, we would have learnt how to keep prisoners behind bars"

Pretty much the same sentiment when it comes to pies and beer.

So diminish your product, screw your fan base, sacrafice the games credability. Promote inequality and build bigger stadiums further away from the majority of fans. How much crack do they smoke in these think tanks

Soccer must be loving this ****. Hang on gallop and greenfish united in one common goal smells like. Eeeeeewwww id hate to imagine what it smells like .

Ahh
Progress
I will tell you progress
Progress isn’t concrete jungle
Progress isn’t TAB outlets at each corner
Progress isn’t searching your bag to see if your sandwiches are really dangerous weapons or vodka infused multi grain
I will tell you progress and what big stadium experience is
Afternoon footy
Running on the field after the game

Getting the train from the gong to central at age 14
Playing cards at 5 cent limits
Using a carton of beer folded as your card table
Walking to the SCG through the back streets
Getting some one to buy your blackberry nip, port and brandivino from a Redfern pub on the way
Getting your sleeping bag first in line the night before at the old green gates
Finding a girl and go wandering around Moore park in the bushes
Quick spew
More port
Throw oranges at Rex and Barry as they turn up in the satellite bus to report on the GF for channel 7 ( sorry Rex you were a champ)
Game of touch with the goon bag
Another spew
Jump the fence and pinch the big leagues mags
Sell them off for more grog
Spew and quick sleep
Think about the girl but just can’t remember her name
Knowing nothing happened with her but telling your mates everything did
Gates open
sprint to Sheridan stand
Roll out the flags
Sing songs & watch manly take all before them into the 70,s
Our progress was learning how to not get caught and learn to stay awake for three games and get back to central before the last train at 6

You can stick the fancy pants stadiums unless your in the manly section of the crowd
Still love walking back to Oxford street from alliance after we beat roosters

Their supporters are pathetic
Not sure why I slipped that in but they just are
Just blame the off season like everyone else
Go manly
And if you are a 14 year old girl wearing a Cronulla jumper in the mid 70,s who slept outside the ground on GF night , I didn’t really forget your name and we should catch up
...........,And now for something completely different

Sounds like an excellent day/night!!

You haven't lived if you haven't had a good spew in Moore Park.
