Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I didn't complain about the cost, however, I have always received a cap in the past and was very disappointed about not getting one. So I went to the Melb office vented my spleen (politely) and they were gracious enough to give me a cap for my wife and I. As far as I'm concerned they could keep all of the knick-knacks, as long as my pack contains a cap (for me), a sticker (for the car) and my membership card, I'm happy.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

I've never considered the cost of membership for my wife and I over the past 27 years nor the cost of following South over the past 47 years... But this year I do feel very let down by the Club administration. We live in Canberra and transferred from Sydney membership to Canberra membership last year. For $100 we got entry to the 2 AFL games at Manuka plus the NAB Cup game and 2 games in Melbourne. We collected our cap at the first game at Manuka (v Footscray).
This year for our $100 each we get entry to the 2 games at Manuka but not NAB Cup and 2 games in Melbourne. Along with membership ticket, lanyard, advantage card, sticker sheet and keyring, we received a voucher for a Swans member cap. BUT to redeem the voucher we have to collect the cap at a collection point at either Etihad Stadium (Rd 1 v St Kilda) or MCG (Rd 11 v Hawks). If we are unable to collect at these venues or the Swans Melbourne office we have to pay for them to be posted to us. The cost is $8 for individuals or $20 for a family - figure that out.
I am writing to the Swans Melbourne office to ask why the Canberra members cannot collect their caps at the first game at Manuka as I consider this is total disrespect for loyal members not located in either Sydney or Melbourne. This is causing me to consider NOT re-newing my Swans memebrship next year. For $190 I can become an AFL Canberra member with seats to both Swans games, ALL AFL Canberra games and a host of local functions.
IMHO if the Swans administrators do not respect the members and look after them they will lose people very quickly. So ends the rant from an older and loyal member who is getting very pi...d off!!!Comment

I think the Canberra members should contact Melb office and ask for their caps to be brought to the first game in Canberra. I do not believe you should pay more just to receive the caps. Get them to organise a voucher that allows you to get one from the shops at Manuka on game days.
Cheersquad member see you on Sunday week. Bringing Kylie,Brooke and Amee. So busy day.
We haven't got our memberships yet. One daughter joined up for family membership. Three of us are redbacks and paid up full membership back in October. Some long wait. Very long time in between.
Can anyone tell me re tickets for Brisbane game. Do we just get on to the membership site on Monday. and log in etc. I presume they will have the information up by then.Love those Swans

You know I want a membership that covers the fact I watch the Swans in multiple cities. The Melbourne memberships seem to have a tad more flexibility but they still don't meet what I require . I'm going to write to the Swans' Office.
As for us Canberra based supporters it would be nice for hats to be available at Manuka. But still, it's pretty easy to hop on the Swans supporter bus up to Homebush and get your hatt here - or even just ask some other members to pick it up for you.Comment

I just want my membership tag please. Someone? Anyone out there? Can I have my membership please? I have been paying since end October....its time....and a cap and stickers....but, the hard plastic thingy with Maccas dial on it would be nice.

It is but it's likely that the OP and others here are not dissapointed that the key ring etc that they were 'so looking forward to all year' is @@@@ quality. You would be angry because it really shows that zero effort has been placed into the pack, and if that's the case, doesn't really make you feel like you are valued.
It's a principle and one that applies in many circles. You rock up to a friend's place for dinner. It's all about the food yes, but if the place is an absolute shambles it kind makes you feel a little smaller. Equally so in reverse if you handed your friend a $4 bottle of wine, unless that's all you could afford of course.Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sectorComment

If there's a problem with almost anything you get from a footy club it's that someone has sat down with a marketer and picked items out of a brochure to put a logo on - and it's almost always crap you don't needComment

Or lanyards that just fit around your neck let alone reach the scanner reader. I'll take my hat, draw and membership card and be very happy thank you very much (and maybe some good quality stickers).
And also that woollen made in Australia offcial AFL endorsed Swans scarf I keep dreaming aboutComment

- 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.

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.
