Hmmmm, I wonder if I'll get an invite - this is year 11 in a row as a member, but my first in Melbourne....
I'm not worried about going/not going, but wouldbe disappointed if I didn't at least get an invite - after all, it is the same club and I'm still giving them my money....
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.

Well, my note on my membership app informing them of prior membership in Sydney and the follow up call to confirm obviously got forgotten as my membership which arrived yesterday says since member since 2009 - so now I need to get this fixed up...oh well, at least there's plenty of time before Rd 1!

Gentleman walks into gentleman's outfitters.
"Can I help you, sir?"
"Why yes you can, young lady. Yes you can. I am in the market for something to wear to a special event."
"Excellent sir, may I ask the type of event?"
"Why yes you can, it is a cocktail pary."
"Excellent sir, may I enquire as to the host of the cocktail party?"
"Why yes you can, it is the South Melbourne football club."
"I beg your pardon sir?"
"The South Melbourne football club."
"I wasn't aware there was one, sir."
"The Swans."
"South Melbourne?"
"Yes, that's right."
"I haven't heard of them sir, I must admit."
"Sydney."
"Oh, of course. Excellent, sir! Now, may I show sir something in a suit appropriate for a cocktail party?"
"No need, no need- I have that covered. I'm after a bow tie to go with my outfit."
"Excellent sir, and the colour of your suit?"
"Blue and brown."
"Stripes, sir?"
"No- blue jeans and a brown corduroy jacket."
"And sir wants a bow tie?"
"Yes please!"
"May I ask sir, PL/1 or Cobol?"
"PL/1 of course!"

Where is this favourite shop of yours, pantsless one?Comment

Stellation, you poor poor misguided fool, do you think that you Swans supporters North of Albury (Canadians) are the only true Sydney Swans Supporters? Well we did 13 games last season not bad considering we missed only one Melbourne game (Carlton)
Let?s face it nearly 10,000 members in Melbourne take that away from what the membership was last year and you end up with what 18,000 at a finals game.
So don?t criticize until you reach 35,000 members in Sydney without Melbourne contribution.
They're only Melbourne members Wardy, their 5 years commitment doesn't equal the same financial commitment of 5 years of a real fanComment

Just between us, darlin', I wasn't being entirely serious. I hope I didn't cause you to drop a stitch.

well in monetary terms you may be right - but as far as passion for the club, there are many from Melbourne who make the Sydney siders seem like a bunch of pussy's.
My beef was that the club were not going to pay for the beverages - if they invite you to a cocktail party - then it is only right that they pay for the drinks too on top of the cremated spring rolls & cocktail frankfurts - otherwise you may as well have put on the invite "we will provide the venue, Ladies please bring a plate, Blokes bring a bottle" what tight arses!Last edited by Wardy; 6 March 2009, 06:51 AM.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Free Booze for the first hour, Thanks Richard.
Plenty of Mini Spring Rolls and Mini Pies, and some other bits I didn't try.
The Premiership Cup and other Swans Memoribilia was on show, Including a framed guernsey signed by all our brownlow medallists.
Some Fundraising Auctions, one of which was accommodation for 8 plus a private box at the Carlton Game in Round 4, Went for over $5K IIRC.
They also auctioned a leather jacket with red and white sleeves, which Richard Colless bought for $4K, then donated back to the club and then they gave it away by way of a random question.
They gave a woman who lost her home and Swans Shrine in the Kinglake fires a swans gift pack(inc 5 year membership) and flowers. And another lady who is 90, and followed the swans since the 30's a little pack and flowers as well.
2nd prize in the raffle went to ticket D28, I had D25, 26 and 27
. No Chocloates for me.
17 of the 20 sponsors from last year have signed on again. QBE is still the main sponsor.
4 new ones are De Bortoli Wine, Star City (Short Sponsor), Rob Pascoe's company Closed Loop Recycling, and Red Rooster.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
14) Vistitors from other sites
You are most welcome to join in discussions on RWO, but remember, you are a GUEST on our site. Abide by the RWO Forum Rules or we WILL ban you.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
