Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09 -
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Milperra is in the SW of sydney (near Bankstown). Yes I am a full club member. I called the club today and was told that they were in the process of sending them out and I would get it within the next couple of weeks. I did not know that about the Melbourne memberships but in previous years I've usually got mine by the end of February or early March not just before the first round.Red & White forever.Comment

Des,Someone get Liz a Daytripper train ticket so she can go out and explore Sydney
Honestly, first not knowing where Rouse Hill is, now not knowing where Milperra is.. 
Yes, it would seem most members who have already received their packs are Melbourne members. I assume I will get it sometime between now and the first home game.
Amazingly Milperra is not that well known, despite the Fathers Day bikie massacre and the fact it is the birthplace of arguably our greatest Olympian in Ian Thorpe(BTW his mother was my 5th grade teacher back in 1981
). I have to explain its whereabouts everytime I tell someone where I'm from.
Red & White forever.Comment

Do we REALLY need another hat? I never wore last year's. Just didn't like it. Didn't feel comfortable either.
I see they are selling members scarves through the Melbourne office for $15 this year.Not a bad idea I guess. They do look nice, but do I really need another Swans scarf? Especially when the 2005 Premiership scarf does just fine thank you. And will be worn for as long as the scarf is in decent condition.

With many Sydneysiders that can hardly be said to be the case, I'm afraid.(See the constant "I won't go to Homebush" whinges from people who social life has been ruined by a 30 minute train trip.
)
Usually the Sydney brochure is heaps more lavish than the Melbourne one. You really have to sell the idea of being a member and what it gets you to many people it seems. Whereas in Melbourne they could send out a piece of paper with "Tick here" & it wouldn't make much difference. Still it would be good to break the 10000 member mark down here!
We used to have Cheer Squad members who'd join just to get the t-shirt poster & stickers each season. Then you'd never see them again for the whole season!
As much as it is nice to know you are getting what other clubs are getting, to me it matters naught when it comes to the crunch. I get to contribute to my club financially, I get to feel part of my club. And no transistor radio or snazzy red & umbrella is going to change that to be honest.

The Melbourne office just have a great way with dealing with people.They really have the common touch & often get to know you by name. Which makes dealing with them a generally pleasant experience. It is like we are talking to friends as much a buying tickets or whatever. They came to one of our banner making nights with pizzas to say thanks for making the banners for the year. Then several of them started cutting out letter with the ladies!
Seriously, they rock!

And you want to take her to Milperra?Someone get Liz a Daytripper train ticket so she can go out and explore Sydney Honestly, first not knowing where Rouse Hill is, now not knowing where Milperra is..
Yes, it would seem most members who have already received their packs are Melbourne members. I assume I will get it sometime between now and the first home game.
Is it true they these days they have the $2.50 all day Sunday ticket in Sydney like they do down here? That would maybe getting to Central then the SCG on the 391 or 339 bus really affordable! Maybe they could print special Swans ones in conjunction with CityRail/Sydney Buses as a bit of cross promotion?
Now THAT would be something people would WANT to receive in their members, several of those for the Sunday arvo family-themed match days.

- 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.

Be nice, not all visitors are trolls.a) If they annoy you, ignore them. They want a reaction. Don't give them one.
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.
