Today's crowd v Richmond

[Swansinger]

Damp ,miserable - a perfect opportunity for some Swans "fans" to "enhance" their theatre-goers reputation , isn't it?
Not RWO-ers , of course.

I predict 22,419 - give or take 10,000

[Glenn]

23,456

21,845

We have too many fair weather supporters. 20,159.

It's also a Long Weekend. I know of many people who have gone away for the Weekend. Apparently a few Richmond supporters have come up so hopefully they don't make more noise than us!!!

[CJK]

I'm up the coast (at a theatre / yoga / latte-making retreat) so you can count me out.

[Big Al]

If I wasn't under cover there is no way I'd be going. If that makes me fair weather then guilty as charged. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to sit in the rain and admire anyone that can.

If Bay 7 is too quiet , you can rely on me to remind everyone it is a football ground , not a library !

I'll be sitting in the rain. Call me crazy, but I like a good dog fight in the rain. I love getting deep into the 4th quarter when the game is in the balance, leaning over the fence when the play comes close, revving the players up. Does that me sick?

However, losing while sitting in the rain = worst thing ever.

[Swansinger]

But Al - I KNOW what you look like ! You don't look like the sort who scares easily !

Hear, hear. I'm sitting at home, looking out at the pouring rain. I'm so grateful my seat is undercover - even though it will be cold (filling the trusty thermos now!) it will be dry.

"However, losing while sitting in the rain = worst thing ever."

Yeah - I've done that away v Geelong and Pies ! But what a RUSH when you are surrounded by opposition fans who try , in vain , to shut you up.

[Swansinger]

Erica , you are a lady - so you are forgiven

Huh??? Never mentioned being scared. Although the Collingwood women do frighten me a bit.

It's a bit different in Sydney with the pathetic atmosphere. But sitting in the rain at Subi and watching the Swans win a close one is unbeatable. Anyone who has done this will testify.
