      Where do Swans supporters usually sit at Docklands?
      Everywhere, if last years games are any indication. We sit in the cheap seats (GA) on level 3, but they (Swans supporters) are pretty much spread throughout the whole arena, which is pretty much the way it has always been in Melbourne in the larger stadiums. (I know , I know, there are only 2 stadiums in Melb these days, but they do both seat over 50,000.)

          This jetsetting lifestyle is really getting to be a drag.

          It'll all be worth it though, when we win.

          Interesting trivia: Des has never been to see the Swans win at Docklands. Losses to Essendon, St Kilda, Hawthorn, and That Draw. That will all change this year.
          I thought you broke that last year???

            No, I broke the MCG hoodoo in round 22 of 2004 (win against Richmond).

            177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

                It is normally the more-expensive reserved seating in the lower tier, but if you go to the right of screen (ie nightclub) end around our Cheer Squad, you can generally look and see if there are spare seats and sit around there. We have only 190 members in Victoria & get 300 seats behind the goals in the CS area.

                So if you ask nicely and save your beer drinking for half time outside the area, they should let you into the area no problems.

                Wasn't planning on going, but if I have enough FF points I'll definitely think about going down.

                  Cool, cheers. Might do that (if I was on my own), but I'll be with a few mates so Lev 3 at the Covenrtry end (same end I think) is ok for my $11

                  Yea, that beer drinking rule could be a problem too.

                  With prob about 8,000-9,000 Melb members and a few thousand from NSW and Melb non-members we could outnumber the 'no-show' Blues supporters.

                  No wonder there's so many Collingwood fans.

                    2. we have a good chance of winning

                    4. plus its the day before easter, which means chocolate the next day

                    im not sure where im sitting but im in melb based cheersquad so it should be behind the goals
                    im telling you it would be the best birthday present if the swannies killed em
                    Since my birthday's on the 24th of October, the best birthday present for me would be to see the Swans winning the Grand Final a month before

                        Just booked the flights and tkts for the Calrton game on the long weekend. Any non Melbournites planning on going to the game?
                        Hey Matt79. I come down once a year and I've decided Round 3 is the weekend. To see the flag unfurled twice will be a highlight.

                        Will see 4 games over that weekend so I can't wait.

                            You too eh?
                            It's my only chance to see footy in the 'home' of footy, so I too make the most of it and will be going to four games.
