f**king Swans should just play at the SCG.
IIRC that's what they would prefer.

Its highly unlikely Storm would ever play at the MCG during September for obvious reasons down there.
Etihad maybe, as they have done in the past.
Souths already saying Allianz on Twitter.
I think it will be on the Sat because you could get 10k more than on a Friday. Whereas Easts v NQ/Penrith will get around the same regardless of Fri or Sat.
I don't care who it is, Manly, Cronulla, f**king Annandale: if Sydney teams don't have enough fans to get a decent crowd at a Sydney stadium than maybe they should give up and play hopscotch. You can blame channel 9, the weather, the lack of cushioning in the seats, whatever you like. The bottom line is its finals time. If you're a fan of your team then make the effort to go and see them or f**k off and stop complaining.

I agree it SHOULD be on saturday at Allianz. You'll get more way more Manly fans there on that night, and souths would obviously travel to ANZ but they'll still get more at the SFS as well.
I can just see channel 9 wanting their beloved bunnies on friday night and getting what they want.
I'll take a nibble on this as a Manly fan.
Why should we be disadvantaged to Souths despite finishing higher on the ladder in the following ways:
1. A shorter turnaround
2. Play at their home ground
3. Their preferred time slot
This whole regional home ground thing is a crock of steaming crap. If you win the right to play a home final, it should be at your home. Not your opponents EVER! Obviously unless you share the same ground.
This game should be at SFS. It should be on Saturday to make travel easier. And as the team finishing 2nd, we should get to pick the time we want on Saturday. And just to make it clear, if we are not good enough to ensure we have the stadium booked over AFL, we should be leaving the venue out in the cold as much as we can, in preference of a venue that will give us priority all year round.
