    Sounds like a load of hot air to me.... although 10% of 12 is about 1, so its not entirely unrealistic I suppose

    You really do love putting the boot into the Swans administration at every opportunity don't you Barry?
    "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

      10% of 15,000 is one thousand five hundred.

        Lucky we're not playing the Giants at ANZ where the chances of losing to them would be greater.
        Is this a joke or you being serious?

        Given western sydney has its own team and GWS play out of ACT aswell some fan would switch over

            Every game between the swans and giants will be, from this day forward, for more than just 4 points. As it should be.

              I think you are being a bit flexible with the facts there barry.....

              I reckon at least 10% of GWS "members" are Swans fans (not ex Swans fans). They buy a three game membership to get a guaranteed ticket for the derby at Spotless and cherrypick a couple of other games to go and join the happy clappers.

              I do not believe we have lost any genuine fans to GWS. We may have lost a few bandwagon jumpers and we don't need them anyway. 37,000 plus with 1,000 on orange was a good crowd result tonight

              I've toyed with the idea myself (but so far resisted the temptation)
