Just curious to know wether homebush or the SFS is easier to get to by train and car and if the FFA has decided yet where you will be hosting it.

In theory Homebush is closer but the viewing quality is worse. The SFS we will be alot closer to the game than at ANZ.

Given Sydney is now out (HOORAY) the game will most likely be at the SFS. Which will help our hip pocket cos games at ANZ are normally expensive. I have 2nd row seats at ANZ for the swans and for a normal home game they retail for $65 a seat - not very affordable to the family.

All the cricket fans will get their b4 the football starts at the SFS so thats going to make it difficult for those going by car and if they both finish at the same time it will be bedlam for train commuters.

Considering I'm a Bulldogs NRL fan I can say without a shadow of doubt ANZ is much much easier. SFS is a bitch at the best of times.

Homebush would be a fair hike to Olympic Park..(ie Stadium Australia), Olympic Park a couple of hundred meters at most.

I think he meant Olympic Park station, he obviously hasn't been on the Western or Southern line before and doesn't realise there's a Homebush Station as well.

both as easy as each other by train - all coast trains stop at strathfield so if the game is at ANZ the olympic park trains will run, SFS buses will run from central if it is there....

both are pants to get to by car and I wouldn't recommend driving to either (spec with the cricket on)

Actually Homebush (ANZ)is really simple to drive to, parking may be a slight issue but not really... You just have to get onto Silverwater road and you are pretty much there, prob 15 min drive from epping, 30 min drive from Hornsby?(depending on traffic of course) but quite direct to get to... Was there the other night for a concert and there are alot of parking spots, just some are further away then others... plus parking approx $15 for the night. (more then 4 hours)
Oh and there is a train station about a 5 min walk (if that) from the stadium...

SFS on the other hand has quite a significant amount more walking involved from the station, and forget about driving in there, especially if there is a cricket match on next door you would have to park miles away and pay a fortune to get parking, or it would take you hours to get out of the car parking they have avaliable...

I go to ANZ and other Olympic Park area events at least 20 times if not more per year... NEVER had any major problems driving.

lol.

Missus is a bit of a fan, I was at the NRL Fan Day earlier in the day at ANZ Stadium, then I went home and she came down for it.

The car park is usually much busier than it was that night to be honest. Very quiet night in P1 last weekend.

Ahh, fair enough...
Yeah I have seen it worse before... we just sat in the car for 15 mins till most of the traffic had gone then we were able to leave the carpark quickly...
They have a really good parking system at Homebush so that all the levels get filled and emptied at the same time...

Hope she liked the concert...
