How about we close this thread? It's getting silly.Comment

It's not only vocal eastern suburbs people I live in QLD and came down last year for the Collingwood game at Homebush. It was an experience I will never repeat. I also went to Wellington to watch them play St Kilda and would go back without hesitation. Why ? Simply put the experience and atmosphere. It says it all when an venue overseas that would never have envisaged AFL being played when it was constructed is a preferable destination for this supporter. Mind you even Victoria Park , Windy Hill and Whitten Oval had a better atmosphere. And no I am not stuck in the past as possibly one of the best venues to experience AFL in my opinion is the Suns home ground on the Gold Coast which not coincidentally was designed to maximise the AFL spectators experience.Comment

This issue really isn't that relevant to me personally being a Victorian, but I'll pop in my 2c anyway - possibly from a less biased point of view.
If those figures quoted are correct, then there is no reason to be playing at ANZ aside from some kind of additional revenue due to some special deal.
I also see it as being important for the Swans to play at the SCG as much as possible, and to turn it into a 'fortress' of sorts.
Finals are the time when it matters to play there most - couple of H & A games at ANZ per year I can live with, but we need every advantage we can get come finals...The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

barry, my apologies if you've answered this before- purely out of curiosity, did you get along to many SCG games this year?I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

You'd have more hope of getting an answer to the question 'who killed JFK?'
The question has been asked multiple times whether said member has any additional memberships above their beloved ANZ membership, in particular a Swans membership, and no answer has been given. I think from the fact that no answer has been given and the member has been deathly silent on the matter, its reasonable to assume that said person is not a member of the Swans, and by default, is highly unlikely to have gone to many, if any games at the SCG this year."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I follow the Swans, not a venue and I find the relentless championing of a venue in spite of the evidence (i.e. crowds yesterday) kinda irritating.
Our best final ever was at the SCG 9 years ago.Comment

All the anti anz posters seem to want to find out my personal details. Where I live, whether I'm a member, how many games I've been to. Are you trying to make it personal? .i don't ask the same.
I'm not asking you to dislike the SCG. I'm asking you to tone down your hate of a perfectly good stadium in the west where all fans can be accomdated
fwiw, I've been to more SCG games than ANZ ones.Comment

Noone wants your personal details Barry - all people have asked, which is a reasonable question (to give some reasonable context to your views) is whether your a Swans Member as well as being an AFL member? You are well within your rights to not give such information, but I don't think it is an unreasonable request either, given your ongoing staunch defence of ANZ and open hostility towards the SCG."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

- 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
