The AFL is confident Spotless Stadiums small capacity wont see opposition fans locked out of Greater Western Sydneys home preliminary final to be played at the ground.A crowd of 60,222 supporters watched the Giants upset qualifying final win over Sydney at nearby ANZ Stadium on Saturday, with GWS to host either Hawthorn or the Western Bulldogs on Saturday, September 24, at the ground that holds 24,000 fans.The Bulldogs have approximately 40,000 members and the Hawks have the biggest membership base in the league with just over 75,000 paid-up supporters this year.But historical evidence suggests fans wishing to make the trip north wont be squeezed out by the venues small capacity.The Giants have 16,000 members and historically for a preliminary final between 4,000 and 6,000 members of the visiting club will travel, AFL spokesman Patrick Keane told AAP.At ANZ Stadium for the match between Sydney and GWS, Sydneys supporters and members supplied, in our estimation, around 65 to 70 per cent of the ticket sales.So our view is that Spotless will be able to accommodate the likely crowd.Both teams have played the Giants at Spotless this season; the round six clash with Hawthorn attracting a crowd of 13,766 and 9,612 fans watching GWS beat the Bulldogs in round nine.I think weve played some really good footy there, GWS co-captain Phil David told the Seven Networks Game Day.Weve only lost two games there this year and obviously whenever you get to play on your home ground its a great advantage.But as we said going into the ANZ Stadium game - its just grass with eight posts at each end.Hawthorn and the Dogs will face off in a semi-final at the MCG on Friday night, while Adelaide will play the Swans at the SCG on Saturday night, with the winner to advance to a preliminary final against Geelong at the MCG.

An adjacent, smaller pool continued to be used for diving competitions, even though it remained murky. American diver Abby Johnston dubbed it the swamp.But on Monday, FINA president Julio Cesar Maglione told Kyodo news agency that will not happen again in Tokyo, host of the next Summer Games.I visited the place where they are beginning to build the new swimming pool and... it will have all the requirements for an excellent championship because the last condition in Rio was different, Maglione told Kyodo.
