VS Colliwobbles, 23rd August

[blumtsdan]

Anyone else thinking of travelling down to Melbourne for the match?

Planning the trip is keeping me occupied at work today.

My first post- woot!

[ScottH]

I'm already here!!

[blumtsdan]

I'm assuming some ppl will come down from Sydney to support the team- I'm looking forward to it!

[ScottH]

Ther usually are a few, who come down.

[Danzar]

Welcome to RWO!

A few of us here are considering going.

[SassySwan]

On what we've seen from our team the last few weeks, and especially their recent performances against the pies I'm not going this time!
I'll be at Club Swans!

[Captain]

I'm heading down for sure.

[connolly]

I'm heading down for sure.

Say hi to the Shaw boys and Honest Alan Didak in the crowd for us.

So is there a watering hole where swans fans tend to gather?

While I've followed the game for a while, I've never been down south to watch a game...

[Cheer Squad mbr]

This is probably our best chance to beat them in the past couple of years considering the problems their going through at the moment. However, we'll still be missing a couple of key players, particularly Magic.

I'm going to be in Melbourne that night and what does a friend of mine do? Book tickets for Wicked instead that night. Grr. So I'll be seeing the aftermath of the match when I step out of the Regent that night. Here's hoping we finally break our drought against them.

Just found out I've got a junket...(sorry meeting) in Melbourne on the Friday...flights paid for...hoping they will let me fly back on the Sunday in time for hockey finals, so that I can see the game and the daughter.

There is a god/buddha/fate.

[R&WtilIDie]

I'll be there, but I'm in Melbourne.

Those who have never had the "pleasure" of going to a Collingwood home game, expect an...er....an "experience".

Biggest @@@@wit supporters in the game, bring a thick skin and a raincoat (to protect you from the spit of a screaming Pie fan). Expect all our boys to be called faggots, dogs, @@@@s, etc. They usually bag there own players too. They'll be even more feral, now that they're in the poo.

Oh, and they scream 'BALL' constantly, when it's obviously not.

Given the fact that we tend to lose against Collingwood, it is all around a very unpleasant day.

But don't let me turn you off or anything...

Some people meet up at the Colonial Hotel in King St.

When I go to a Collingwood - Sydney game in Sydney I like to mock the Magpies fans but saying in a very camp voice "go the pies...". You have to slurr or lisp the 's' in pies quite a bit, but its affective.
