    Swans Supporters in Perth

    How many Swan RWO members are over here in WA? and does anyone know of a gathering spot for Sydney games here(Big screen pub). Is there a Swans Supporters club in the West and if so anyone know the contact details?

    There is supposed to be a WA Supporters club - a very mysterious organisation it seems. I paid $70 earlier this year and all I have got so far is a black & white photocopied sheet with details of the pre-game Irish club stuff prior to the West Coast game.
    I wonder if you were, like me, extremely frustrated last Sat night in trying to find a pub which was showing the Port Adelaide match. There was also a complete radio blackout. Both radio stations had the same match - Bris & Essendon. I ended up going home to listen on internet radio.

    This is where the WA Supporters club should come in and flex some muscle by descending on mass to a designated pub. I know the WA Essendon and Collingwood supporters do this.

          I`ve contacted the Greenwood pub(North of the River). They have a GREAT sports bar. 2 big screens.1 one end the other down back. They will be showing the rugby on the back screen and the Swans v Ess on the front screen near the pool tables. Beers are a bit pricie but now theres no smoking in pubs YOU CAN BREATH!

          I`ll be going there. 5pm I think it starts.

              I sent this thread to all of the people I know in the WA Supporters Club. So hopefully those who want to organise places to watch games together can do so.

              Apparently they tried to watch away matches at the Irish club near Subi & it didn't work horribly well.

              Keep at the club. Even if you are watching an away game with a small group of people at somebody's home, it is still better than watching it yourself at home.

                      I rang a guy called Kevin Rice who I was put onto from the Melbourne office. He said they only have one or two functions a year at the Irish club when the Swans come here. I mentioned about gathering a group to go to pubs. He said they tried it but people didn`t roll up.

                      I`ve rung the Greenwood today and they are definitely showing the Swans game at 5pm, so that`s were I`ll be if anyone wants to roll up.

                        To another poster about Foxtel. Why should I have to pay for that? The AFL via poor negotiation have forced thousands into the unecessary expense of Foxtel. If people subscribe then they think they will have done the right thing. I refuse to play their game.

                          The true test of the Greenwood wil be when their is a delayed telecast of the Eagles versus a live game of the Swans (or any other team for that matter)

                            Because of the 2 screens, they`d show both. But because we live in Wet Toast land, WC would get preference.

                              If your looking for me, just look for the BIG bloke 100kg plus with the Swans cap on.

                              The Swannies just need a win for 4th spot now(just as long as Adelaide don`t let us down).
