    As a football club, nothing says you don't take yourself seriously, quite like taking the Escort /Ansett /Wizard cup seriously

    Come on John give us something interesting and just play the young uns

      I wish I could be there but I've got a prior commitment (AC/DC @ ANZ Stadium anyone?). However GO SWANNIES! Let's get one NAB Cup win for Roosey before he leaves.

          Yep, I've got tickets to the Thursday gig. Should be brilliant.

            Our NAB Cup odds halved from $41 to $21. Someone is finally taking notice of our drafting and preseason.

              First year out of school in '74 I worked for a short time at a bank in the city. Right opposite the bank were the 2SM studios, at the time #1 station on the radio by a fair margin and I managed to get concert tix fairly regularly.

              I went to a 4 band concert at the Horden Pavillion. The opening act was AC/DC with Angus resplendent in school uniform and Bon Scott screaming in the mic. I doubt more than 5% of anybody there had heard of them before and as usual with opening acts, they played about 3 songs before being ushered offstage. Next up were Skyhooks who managed to get 4 songs in before getting the flick. Renee Geyer had 2nd billing and Hush were the main drawcard.

              36 years down the track (reality is hitting home as I type, 36 years ...lol) AC/DC became huge and still are, Skyhooks were huge and are still fairly well remembered although kids my daughters age get a surprise when u tell them Red Symons was a rock star.

              Renee Geyer occasionally gets a 'oh yeah, I remember' but Hush....barely come across anybody who vaguely remembers them, although they get some recollection when you tell them the two guitarists were asian, a bit of a rarity in those days.

                        Very disappointing and annoying that members don't get into the NAB Cup game. Especially when we're spending almost $400.

                          Renee Geyer, now there is a rolled gold hack if ever you saw one. Always has been always will be.

                          On AC/DC: a group of us used to frequent the Matthew Flinders Hotel in Melbourne on a Saturday afternoon. (a mate was a bar man and we got free beers) Many a time they would feature new bands in amongst the shockers such as The Ted Mouldy Hand Band (Ted Mulray Gang). This particular afternoon in '74 the place was half full and half cut and this band came on with this bloke in a school uniform. They started up and few people were taking much interest, but about 10 minutes in everyone was fixated and sold.

                          2 weeks later they played on a Thursday night and the place was packed to the rafters and rockin'. The rest is history.

                          Little River Band also played there in their early days.
