"You Irish Twit", Quote attributed to a RWO member who shall remain nameless.

Hmmm. I assume you are being ironic here. Unfortunately I and my best footy buddy have contacted the Swans re membership, supporter and event issues on several occasions and have never, yes NEVER, been satisfied with the "human" discussion. It was like telling someone that his fly is open, then ducking when he swings at you. When we did get a reply it either missed the point or was condescending. Have given up contacting the Club unless absolutely necessary, and certainly not to offer feedback. Now we just watch the games, including the Reserves, and bleed for the boys.
Despite the above, congratulations Primmy. You have done something very worthwhile for the Club, which will have far reaching and positive consequences (can't resist it) until the next airhead marketing initiative that hasn't done its research amongst the supporters. We know what attracted us to the Club, what keeps us involved and what turns us off. Useful information, I would have thought. Reminds me of the Commonwealth Bank ads.
And, Primmy, thank you for doing this.Comment

Primmy - you are a star!
ps. thank you to others who confirmed my worst fears - the club was behind this! They need to hire some footy fanscheer, cheerComment

Thanks for all the thanks, just catching up with my fans.......and to be fair the marketing is trying to attract as many people to the game as possible, and they are not aiming to convert the converted but to attract the curious. Its just it was more than a bit misguided, we have made our point, and importantly we were listened to. The marketing gent was reading your comments on line as I was also reading them out to him......you all had a voice.
I HOPE the assurance that the karaoke will cease is valid, that the mugging by the bloke on the boundary line ceases and that it is fully understood that this chant is dear to us and needs to be respected for what it is. We will see next week. Somehow I doubt the Footballing Departments and the Marketing Department meet and discuss off field issues very often.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Prior to this year I whole heartedly agree with you. This year however they have made massive changes to the membership department and it has made huge difference to the services provided. If you contact Larissa who has been absolute pleasure to deal with I'm sure you will pleasantly surprised by the difference...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

Just received the latest email from the Swans 2 minutes ago and yes it finishes with the following:
And don't forget to bring your lungs and belt out your best "Syyyyyd-neeeeey" chant to help inspire the team.
I have always found the Membership Department very helpful over the years. Just two days ago I rang the Club to see if there were any vacant seats near me and I now have another seat, for my daughter.
So no problems from me. Perhaps I have a very sexy telephone voice that appeals to both men and women. It's a bit like Michael Crawford in Some Mother's do have em - Betty, why are people so nasty here?In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

all I say is maybe primmy and anyone else who would like to help out the few of us who are in the cheersquad by cheering and sitting in sheer squad, help make banners of even help to carry the banne from one end to the other - please come and help.
We are voluntary and do it because there is a need for the players and we love the Swans and footy.
So please make yourselves available to the cheer squad to assist us with banner making, wording and poling the banner and carrying - all will be welcomed very much.
Go the SwansLove those Swans

I agree. Sounds fantastic on the ad. Shame about the ads on buses and the ongoing email campaign.
There are so many classic one-liners from the club song they could have used.
What about "Sydney Swans - Honour the Name"? Goodesey as Moses (with his new beard) with the stone tablets.
And I just don't see how anyone can go past "Shake down the thunder..." - LRT, the great viking that he is, would make an AWESOME Thor! Maybe start merchandising some Swans "Thunder Shakers" for us to rattle at the opposition.Superman still wears Brett Kirk PyjamasComment

Like fine red wine, getting better with age. Wardy, it's not how old you are but how young you feel. Start feeling younger partners!!

They listened to us everyone!!! No naff chant and the ground bloke ran around like mad with far better material to deal with.
The game last night didn't warrant a full chant, but it will come.....If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

- 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.
