Swan Supporter Status

born outside Lakeside oval. theyd already moved to sydney and locked the gates.

Born and bred in Adelaide, so was a mad crow supporter, but after coming up to Sydney and seeing just how @@@@ the swans were during the 94 season, I said if a national competition was to florish, then people needed to get behind the swanies.

That and the need to find a great excuse to drink beer and get totally drunk, which helped a lot barracking for the swans in those barren years.

Best memory; after the 96 prel; everyone storming the ground, and of course the 05 GF.

So many beers, so many memories.

So is 85 votes enough of a sample to extrapolate some results???

Yes, We are all bandwagoners of some sort.

Prehaps another poll; if they were on the bottom would you get off ???

I think no would be the answer. Better a smaller, more loyal supporter base, than a fickle one.

I'd say a real swans supporter had their heart broken on that day in sept this year...you didn't need to be at the game nor have a jersey...

its where the heart is anyways...

You know ... we lost - but my heart wasn't broken. (Johnnie Walker helped prevent it.)

I was just happy we made it after the terrible (read usual) start to the season.

The best thing for me now is that my little brother arrived from Perth last Wednesday all decked out in his quokkers gear (they've moved back to Sydney) ... he saw my swans scarf hanging of the chandelier (sp?) and proceeded to have a spack attack. Ha ha sucked in quokkers. We beat youse - get over it. Even better, his 4yo son knows all the words to cheer cheer. His kindy teacher is a swanette. We've spent two nights singing loud and proud. The kid's gunna follow the swans. Nuff said.

Hilarious.

I think you need to have an exorcising burning. I'm happy to supply the matches.

Dad bought me a swans jumper for my 6th birthday, so I've been in the red and white since 1968.

I've been meaning to tell you GS14, what with middle age and spread and all, that 6 year olds jumper is not a good look on you anymore.

But if the club won't let any of the players wear the number 14 someone has too.

Does anyone else think the votes for ROK would overtake the Melbourne votes if left for long enough....???
