SCG dangerous surface

[manlyfan76]

How embarrassing for professional sport to haave to play on such a dangerous field.
Will the SCG trust compensate injured players?

It got to the point in the final minutes of the match that referee Glen Jackson told ground staff: “This is dangerous, this needs to be fixed.” smh.com.au

Absolutely disgraceful . WTF is going on with these people

It’s a cricket ground get those rugby goons off it

Yes mate it is the cricket ground but if these people have decided to use the game for rugby , they should at least prepare the pitch for rugby

Plenty more "footy" games to be played there this year.

I heard Alan Jones is going to rebuild some decrepid old field somewhere so the RaRaas get a new stadium ... I wonder who is paying for it?

The problem is mostly from the scrums. The current trend for quick draining easily maintained surfaces means they have sandy bases. They just won't hold up to the forces generated by rugby scrums. Has happened on plenty of other pitches too. Won't be a problem for the rugby league cuddles that masquerade as scrums. Swans haven't had an issue with the surface in over 30 years. If the Tahs don't like it, they can go out to Concord Oval again

I think they should play all of their games at Brookie then.

Hopefully a bagful of acl for the Rorters then.

Wasn't there once a nice-looking stadium next to the SCG that hosted football matches without any issues?

Give it about 5 minutes and the Swans/AFL will click into full scale cry baby mode.

The SCG had league & union played on it for 80 years without the stuff ups we saw last night.

SCG was like playing on concrete.

@Brissie Kid ... mate, couldn't you have found a better video than a Manly GF loss?

1972 perhaps? Or 1973, 1976, 1978 or 1987.

Alan Jones wants to pull the scg down too, and replace it with an extensive rabbit warren of dressing rooms and team shower facilities.

The poor surface is his way of showing it needs demolition.

Alan Jones would never have played at the SCG. Not so sure about the showers though . . .

I wonder how Brookvale held up after its Waratahs game compared to the SCG.....

Buzzcock will let us know the SCG was much safer...

 

[HoldenV8]

Buzzcock will let us know the SCG was much safer...

He'd probably claim he could see the game better from the SCG Members Bar than he could from the Jane Try Stand.....

I've been in that bar on one of the old SFS/SCG tours they used to run. You can't see much of the ground unless you're watching one of the televisions in there.

They'll all be made of glass...

Over to you stupid ayres and your stupid stadium policy - do your research mate and you might start to understand what everyone else already knows - it won’t work - having multiple different sports playing repeatedly out of a handful of stadiums = failure

Wait till Suncorp's dumb Magic Round 😎

Luckily Manly are the 3rd game and not the 8th
