Can somebody explain to me why the Cats will play the Swans at the MCG (with a capacity of 100,000+), whilst the Giants will play the Bulldogs at Spotless Stadium (with a capacity of only 24,000)?
60,000 people watched the Giants play the Swans, and the Bulldogs have over 40,000 fans! If tickets were issued evenly only about 1 Bulldog fan in 4 would get a ticket, and only 12,000 tickets would be left for a city of over 4 million people. I'm not sure how many Giants fans/Sydney-siders would turn up, but surely the game should be held at the SCG or ANZ Stadium. Don't the AFL want to expand the game in NSW?
Makes no fuckin' sense to me.
