Fact Based Opinions....... sums you up to a tee Barry
Plus you seem to have a fair understanding of 'emotional twaddle', if the 'grand old lady' is anything to go by....
You didn't address my original point that your figures don't even add up - but obviously that doesn't matter because its 'facts'.
I'd love to see the fact based 'historical record' your talking about - in particular the data that splits attendance at games at ANZ down by type. I won't wait with any bated breath however.... unless neilfws can help you out. Surely if its all fact based, you've got the numbers right there, ready to show the world."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Are you suggesting they are trajecting up?

Do you just read what people post Barry, then just decide that you actually really read something entirely different and respond to that? Please point me to the part where I suggested anything about the trajectory of crowd figures at ANZ?
I said nothing about trends in crowd numbers, or any suggestion as to what might be going on - I simply asked you to provide the facts behind your 'fact based opinion' as to the split of fans in attendance at ANZ. Your 'rough guess' or 'opinion' doesn't actually constitute evidence at all - despite your worldly knowledge about everything related to the 'grand old lady'. Show me some evidence, and if it supports your assertion, then I'm more than happy to accept it - aggregate crowd numbers show nothing to support your original assertions around what the split of ticket sales may be - let alone the missing several thousand people in your original calculation."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Crowd figures are part of my facts. Sorry, i assumed you were disputing them.

If 60% of the Sydney based Swans members (that's about 27,000), 70% of the Sydney based Giants members as ANZ is in their backyard (that's about 8,000), 4,000 ANZ members and another 5,000 theatre goers went then the crowd would get to 44,000. If it really was at 34,000 on Wednesday night, then 44,000 might be the number. It'd be great if the crowd was more than that though. They just need to start selling $20 tickets to the casual footy fan / theatre goer market. This game is unlikely to happen again in a hurry.Comment

Except for the members, nobody will be rushing to buy tickets for the game until next week. It is too early to guess how many people will attend it.Comment

It would be nice for possibly our last game at ANZ if management could stop treating the general public as idiots and possibly serve up FULL strength beer.
Im not aware of any law against this and the SCG doesn't seem to have a problem with this concept.
Does anyone know why we are forced to drink crap beer specifically at this stadium or is this just part of a wider plan by management at that ground to get us to hate it even moreComment

I took the AFL crowd figures for finals games at ANZ, and put a linear trend line against it. This predicts a 2016 figure of 34,000.
With Giants members (15,000) added, and Other opponent removed (say 5,000), that points to a final 44,000 figure too.Comment

I just knew this stupid bye decision would bring out weird threads.Comment
-
The bye round brings a whole 'nother level of unpredictability to whats going to happen.
But I would go so far as to say, that I think the Bye helps the Giants more than us. Giants have some old warriors (Mummy, Stevie J, Shaw) who take any chance for a rest, and some young kids who may have tired from a long season who need a rest.
Saying that, we have a heap of young kids also.
Who knows!Comment
-
I think the young kids will love the bye
We have a stack of them and they will come back refreshed
Either way it is a team that is difficult to predict given the youth and the coaches will be picking apart how they can nullify the youth of the swans and over awe them
Just pumped cats are playing the Hawks !!!!"be tough, only when it gets tough"

- 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
