    Oh my, I want a refund now! My dog has never liked the football, something about yelling and ranting and screaming and throwing things around that she doesn't seem to like.... strange that! Doesn't mean however that she doesn't automatically get dressed up in red and white for the big games!

      I learned a long time ago never ever hold the remote when watching Swans games. They tend not to work when in a thousand pieces. I hold a little pillow now which cops a hammering and doesn't do any damage when hurled. Also I think if I tried to dress my dog up in anything i'd be missing a throat when I woke the next morning.

          I've said it before but I admire all our interstate members. To support a club from another city when you only get to see them 5-6 times a year is quite admirable.

            We also pay a fair bit less than you... I buy the basic general admission Vic membership for $125 - about the same as it would cost me to get into those games anyway.

              I know what you mean I threw the remote in one game last year and had to repair it. It was the game against Freemantle umpired by the Chamberlain person (I am being nice Liz).

              Thanks Jenny as I am a Red Zone Member my pack won't come out until later then. I love it how we can get answers when some other organisations I am a member of or are signed up to are impossible to get even a sniff from. Try getting onto a University Enrollment site to arrange classes for the year it is hell.

                Well, here you go.

                You get:

                1. A membership card
                2. A ribbony thing that allows you to hang the card around your neck, called a L-a-n-y-a-r-d
                3. A bumper sticker that will say something like "Swans Member 2012!". Because of the family friendly and generally benign nature of Swans Memberships, the bumper sticker won't say things like "My other bomb is a Sherrin" "Die Collingwood, die!" "?I?d change teams for Ryan O?Keefe? (for straight men)" or ?I?d change teams for Ryan O?Keefe? (for lesbian women).
                4. A key ring that you can attach approximately three keys to.
                5. An exclusive Swans member cap. By exclusive, it means that no one else in the entire Facebook has one except you and 25,000 other members.
                6. An official Sydney Swans envelope that contains most of the above items, placed in the convenience and comfort of your letterbox.
                7. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onion on a sesamie seed bun (optional on game day).
                8. A pony.

                I'm hanging out for item 8 because I love ponies nearly as much as I love my Swans.
                Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector

                  What about that pony!! I can't believe it was delivered with a red and while saddle and bridle..FANTASTIC.

                      I could hear its little whinnies from outside my window and I immediately knew that God had answered my prayers.

                      My Little Premiership Pony. That's what I'm going to call her.

                                Here are the 3 reasons why my membership (in place since 2005) will not be renewed this year.

                                No 'new? Lakeside Memberships - have a friend and want them to sign up as member with me. They can join but only if they pay for ANZ games which I won?t attend. Wut?

                                Two 3.15 Sunday games. Terrible time for games on a Sunday, if you?re going to put game on a prime TV watching time then I will watch on TV (btw going up against NRL is a terrible decision here, it will be embarrassing). Won?t be attending either of those 2 games, so why pay for them?

                                No access to the Ladies. Stand is going nowhere but Red Zone members can?t access it. Not that the club bothered to let me know this, had to find out on ROW.

                                tl:dr? NARF.

                                Come at me people.


                                Sure it's not all the clubs doing but they are the ones who have to complete for my time and money. They've failed this year.

                                I might end up with a 3 match pass towards the end of the season and there are a couple of 2 for 1 deals floating around so I?ll see a few games, just not as a member.

                                So it goes.
