Heads will roll if the renovations are not completed by the end of 2013 as scheduled. The Ashes will be on that summer, but importantly, 2014 is the 45th anniversary of the 1969 Grand Final.

I couldn't care less if we never played another game at the SCG, it's woeful to watch League there.
 
this is excellent news. SCG is one of the worst grounds to watch league at and the SFS is one of the better ones.
 
just heard on the news that the round 5 game v souths has been moved from the SCG to the footy stadium. anyone know the reason for this. i think it happenned last year as well.
 
The only people who care about it is the Souths fans.. they should consider themselves lucky to be in the comp..

SCG easily the worse place to watch footy..

Lets leave the SCG to the boys in white and to people who play that game south of the boarder.
 
Not disappointed in the least. It's a football game, not cricket. Therefore, let's play it at a football stadium!

Will be attending the game now ..Cricket ground no thanks and wasn't going .Great move !

A great move would be the Tigers choosing on their own to move it to the SFS. Since they are moving it due to construction, it can't be considered a 'great move'
 
Tigers-Souths NRL game moved from SCG
Print- Font+ FontRSSAAP Wed, Feb 22, 2012 - 7:56 PM

The Wests Tigers' round-five NRL clash with South Sydney will be moved to the adjacent Sydney Football Stadium because of demolition and construction work about to start at the SCG.

The SCG Trust announced on Wednesday that the 'heritage round' match will still be played on the same day and time - at 3pm on Sunday, April 1.

The SCG work follows the recent announcement of a $186 million stage-two upgrade of the SCG masterplan.

Wests Tigers were informed by the SCG Trust that the MA Noble, Bradman and Dally Messenger stands will be decommissioned in March following the cricket season.

"Although disappointed we can't stage this game at the SCG, we have arranged an amazing schedule of activities that will commemorate the history of the Western Suburbs Magpies," Wests Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys said.

"A feature focus of the day will be the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the 1952 Western Suburbs Magpies versus Souths grand final - the last first grade premiership won by the Magpies."

The Tigers will also play in a replica of the 1952 Magpies jersey.

This should certainly make some people on here very happy - but what happens to the Tiger logo?
 
Yeah most of us were here in 1952 weren't we

Flip can you tell us what the jerseys looked like (PS I meant AD 1952 not BC 1952 :laughing: )

As much as I like the history of the SCG, I am glad the game is being shifted to the SFS where the viewing is much better. I'm also glad that the issue has been sorted now and not blown up during the season. Speaking of being organised I hope the manufacturers have Wests heritage jerseys for sale this year for supporters unlike last year.

Agree Here

I really dislike watching games with the Kids at the SCG.

SFS works really well from virtually ever angle.
 
So are the Swans still being allowed to play at the SCG?

Apparently the Swans are still playing at the SCG on the 7th April

The Swans game contracts with the SCG trust are strictly for the SCG and are not able to be moved anywhere else because of this
