  • Couldn't see any middle easterns, asians or islanders, they mustn't have existed back then.
    • Mainly Anglo in '82. Sydney's changed a lot since then.

      Notice people drinking. Booze hounds at the footy.
    • I had one of those t shirts. Bring them back in a retro range
  • Food has improved a million times since.
  • I went to 1982 grand final and I'm not anglo

  • I went to that game, didn't camp out for tickets though, just arrived at the ground at 730 and got great tickets. Good times.
  • Ah the memories of the SCG Grand Finals. I've been lucky enough to attend them all, wins and losses alike. Obviously I can't go past 1981. Arrived at the SCG around 6 am. Hit the hot dogs, ice cream and bourbon straight away. When the gates opened it was a slightly impaired sprint to the covered areas at the back of the hill. I was always amazed how few people went their first. It was about a metre above the hill and gave a view over everyone. A great day. Later it was back to the club. Never paid for a drink all night. Just carried a glass with me and complete strangers filled the glass all night. Jugs of beer everywhere. My brother couldn't get in to the club so he went over to Cumberland. We know what happened over there!

"The Eels in 1982 lost by 20 points to Manly who beat them 3 times that year but the Eels beat them in the Grand Final. They were also beaten by the Bulldogs by 22 points in 1986 but won the premiership"

"Yes, but last year we had Dylan Brown ( who has great defence) and there was Lomax as well who made a big difference. I hope the Eels can turn this around. It's possible"

He either gets off or gets two weeks.
If he gets two weeks, it's no big loss."
