    Behaviour of Swans Fans

    I was just wondering. Do the Swans Fans have a reasonable reputation amongst the rest of the hoi poloi? So many of the other teams fans are obviously and unfortunately obnoxious and I hope we are not too bad. Any thoughts on the matter before we plan our new years resolutions? (I must not send evil eye to collingwood fans, st kilda fans, brisbane fans, west coast fans, etc etc etc).

    Of course we have a good reputation, dahlink. Don't we all sip chardy and clap quietly for behinds? Other fans tolerate our constant chatting due to the fact we know nothing about the game. What's not to like

        LOL, on both counts.
        He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

          we are so much better than Power (and by default Crows) fans, that I can say for certain!

              I can't speak for all, but I only spit at the coach if we really get towelled up.

                that goes without saying! ! We have our feral element like ALL clubs do - some clubs just have more in number than others. To say otherwise is a bit rich really (if not a little bit elitist!).
                I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                  Do you feel the need to post every single thought that enters your head?

                    I only start burning membership cards after a 4th consecutive loss. Nonsensical ranting and OTT posting on RWO kicks in after two consdecutive losses.

                            Evil eye!! You can do better than that. I sent a collingwood fan the "quickest" way to Gate P at Homebush Bay. We were standing at Gate A, so I told her to just follow the letters around to Gate P (Gate B being on our right.)


                            (The last gate is Gate P ... 40m from Gate A to the left.)
                            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.

                              Does God believe in Atheists?
