    Arrogant Eagles supporters booking flights to Grand final already!

    SFA Grand Final flights left already!
    http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=302089
    Call me a premature organiser, but I was on the qantas site trying to book frequent fliers and they're all gone already back until the Monday before! Then I tried VirginBlue and there's nothing under about $600. This is worse than Grand Final week last year when I got a flight for about $500...


    Man, that lot truly make me sick! How arrogant can they seriously be.

    Our best hope is that they lose 3-4 of their top stars to weekend detention & as a result miss the finals.

    Still the NAB Cup derby result against Freo was pleasing, wasn't it?

    BRING ON ROUND 1! Man I want to smash those cocky... !

      They can always give them to their Freo supporting friends.

              Not that arrogant, actually...if you see a cheap fare it wouldn't be such a bad idea to snap it up, I think Virgin lets you use the value of the ticket towards other domestic flights if you don't use it.

              Chances are you wouldn't save that much money by booking flights this early, no airline in their right mind would have a sale on tickets to Melbourne in GF week!

                  I've already arranged my travel to Melbourne in anticipation of the Swans making the GF

                      I must agree - my airline tickets for GF week are booked (That make me an arrogant Swans supporter?).
                      Living on the western side of the country you have to snap up the cheap fares whenever you can. I think ticket prices soared to $1,000 one way last year.

                      Arrogance is taking long service leave on Grand Final week and telling your boss that you are off to see the Swans play.

                              I booked my tickets to Melbourne for September early in January. Got $125 e/way.
                              Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                                      Thats pretty arrogant. Do you think the Swans will be in the GF forever?

                                          Seriously JF, WCIllegal bashing is a favourite pastime on this board and so it should be.

                                          But let's keep it a little bit sensible.

                                          If for some reason they said the GF would be played in Perth this year, you would have been the first person to book and no doubt would be boasting you had your tickets already. They were burnt last year by outrageous prices and some couldn't even get to Melbourne even prepared to pay the price.

                                          Bashing them is well and good, but don't make yourself look like a knob by getting all indignant about 'the arrogant' mob 'making you sick'.

                                          What's the difference between Swan's members paying Premiership Club and WC fans booking flights early??

                                          Am I arrogant for paying Premiership club? I've paid an extra $270, non-refundable if we don't even make it. Am I arrogant for doing that?

                                          No, I just want to know that IF we make it, my family will have a seat. WC fans buying flights now are buying them so IF they make the GF, they can get to Melbourne.

                                              It's worked so far. Moved here in mid-2005.

                                                  If people here were buying tickets to the GF then you'd say they were good supporters for getting behind their team...

                                                  There was nothing in that BF thread that looked arrogant or stupid - this thread on the other hand...
