Prince William and the Blues

[top40]

I wonder if the Royal Family did this deliberately. The first Swans home and away game on a Friday night for a decade, (29th April 2011 vs Carlton SCG), exactly coincides with the wedding between Prince William and Kate what-ever-her-name-is

What wedding?

Good Heavens, my family all know not to arrange ANYTHING the same day the Swans are playing, I'll just have to give Billie and Kath a bell and tell them that day's inconvenient and they'll have to postpone it!

I hope a Carlton win isn't Kate's 'something blue'...

Darn, I guess this means Prince Harry's gonna cancel our date to attend the Swans game together.

Maybe we could host the wedding as the Pre Match entertainment........Roosy would make a great celebrant and twins Hanners and ROK could be the flower boys........

I have it on good authority that Harry will attend the wedding with his father. Not entirely sure who Charles is going with though.

Good omens here. The Swans actually have a very very good record when Royal Weddings take place close to game day:

July 1981- Prince Charles-Lady Diana Spencer. Swans beat Collingwood, (yes the Pies) 121-103

July 1986 - Prince Andrew- Sarah Ferguson. Swans thrashed Melbourne 189-65

June 1999- Prince Edward-Sophie Rhys-Jones. Swans beat Carlton at Princess Park 88-61

April 2005- Prince Charles-Camilla Parker-Bowles. Swans beat Brisbane at the Gabba 87-81, after being behind by 33 points at ? time and never actually being in front until after the final siren.

WTF! With threads like this, it really is the off season!

A Carlton win against the Swans would be the 'something new' wouldn't it.

You are a devilish genius! I love it.

You've got that right. Are we really this desperate for something to talk about.

It appears so.
