Swans do an about-face on Western Sydney

[Lucky Knickers]

I couldn't see that anyone had posted this article from the Australian.

I, for one, have been really excited about the new team as an opportunity to see more live footy. Having lived in Melbourne for a few years, I loved the chance to be able to see a game every weekend if I wanted. Even 3 games if I was feeling like a footy tragic.

The possibility of a real rivalry during the dedicated rivarly round is something I look forward to. I'm happy to read that the Swans are acknowledging it is worth exploiting.

Where once Sydney officials feared the arrival of a new team would split a limited supporter base for the code, the Swans have realised a cross-town rivalry may be a marketing opportunity they can exploitWhere once Sydney officials feared the arrival of a new team would split a limited supporter base for the code, the Swans have realised a cross-town rivalry may be a marketing opportunity they can exploit

In fact, I fully intend buying a membership of Western Sydney, so I can sit in the midst of them in my red and white during our big Harbour City Derby.

The one item in the report I wasn't too happy to read was

One other reason for this year's loss is the Swans' failure to make money out of a venture into a gaming facility.

Does anyone have an idea what this is? Is this possibly an investment in Club Swans?

Gaming facility usually suggests pokies and such

With all due respect, that monicker instantly makes me think "maybe Annie could be the mascot!"

I'm with you lucky, I plan on buying membership also, so I can get my fix every weekend.

Nah...they'd all have one name. Learning more than one name would be too taxing.

Darl, they still gotta learn all their last names!!
When Shazza has 10 kids, all called Wayne, the only way to differentiate between which one she actually wants when she's screaming out the back door, is to call them by their last name.
