    One person calls them arrogant and she deems that to mean
    Swans fans have described them as "arrogant"
    .

    I left a comment for dear Nikki. We'll see if it gets published.

      Never let the truth get in the way of a story - isn't that the first rule of writing for a New Ltd tabloid?

      I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

      If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

              She doesn't want non RWOers coming here and finding out that she is full of crap.

                A typically crappy and lazy News Ltd story, but at least the ball is rolling in terms of building up the game in a few weeks!.

                  I really can't see what's arrogant about it. As was pointed out in the other thread, if Swans fans were booking this early they'd be applauded for their loyalty.

                  They live a lot further away from Melbourne than we do and are favourites to win the flag. If they can get a cheap flight now rather than paying a week's or more salary for an airline ticket in September then good luck to them. Should they miss out on the GF they can pay the cancellation fee and use the ticket for next season.

                  I agree that this is lazy journalism at its worst.

                    Yep, yep and yep. The main point here is that Nikki has taken the comment of one person to be representative of Swans fans when all others have made the exact points you did about booking early

                            That's being greedy! Or perhaps the language was a trifle too "colourful"?

                              She probably thought you were referring to Darling Nikki. I wouldn't have printed your comment either - I respect the PMRC.

                              Aside: That may have been clever if she was writing about Freo.
