Feeling for what?
Who's going to buy a membership?
Who'll support them, financially or otherwise?
Not I.
But I guess you already knew that.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light. -
I'll have to buy one ticket for their "home" game against us ... unless the swannies do the right thing and make a deal with them that gives our members a seat at the game.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I voted for
but probably could have gone with the option of "will see them as second team"- I imagine that over time I probably will see them as my second team, and certainly want them to do well from the start but I'm not sure that I'll truly support them from day one beyond "supporting the game" (if that makes sense).I live in Sydney, will attend some games, but cannot see myself as ever really cheering for them, I just want to watch footy
That said, I reckon that those of us who've said we want an extra "footy fix" should probably start up an RWO group next year to pick a SFL team to follow and get along to their games on the weeks that the Swans aren't playing at home! Unless there already is such a thing!
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

I voted, I don't live in Sydney and I don't care.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

I posted that I don't care.
But I think I do.
I hope they succeed for the sole reason of creating a Sydney Vs Sydney rivalry and for the good of the AFL as a whole.
But as a club, I really don't GAF if the do well or not, mush the same as I don't care about most other clubs.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

I hope they piss off Roy Masters by hoovering up a lot of fans out west, and that they're competitive enough to give us satisfaction out of walloping them.

Hear hear. Bring it on, all of you. The more supporting the local comp the better and the more chance there will be of getting the 'non-seniors' to be farmed out to the AFLS competition.That said, I reckon that those of us who've said we want an extra "footy fix" should probably start up an RWO group next year to pick a SFL team to follow and get along to their games on the weeks that the Swans aren't playing at home!

Only if it's the MagpiesComment

I would have ticked this if it was an option
"I live in Sydney and will go to a fair few games and may see them as my second side"
It will really depend on what type of supporters they pick upComment

I'm right behind having two teams in Sydney, I want the code to grow stronger in NSW, tonite at the SCG (Swans v. Lions) at the half time break, there were two Auskick teams made up entirely of girls and they were all having a red hot go.
There will be more press, an AFL game here every week, cross town rivalry, more and more kids choosing AFL over Thugby.
It's all good and for the good of the game it's not just all about The Swans.

Completely agree HP.
The Swans are a huge part of my life (I verge on fanatical) but the only way to get the game really BIG in this state is to have two teams and I plan on buying membership and supporting them as my second team.
That said though, I think it will be an uphill battle as I just don't see West Sydney as having the right demographic to support it.Comment

I guess I would have a soft spot for Western Sydney because I live in Western Sydney. I reckon we should wait and see how things plan out as well, I have a feeling this new Western Sydney team still might not go through.Comment
