Pretty much the same with us. Went to the Geelong game; found the white noise and incessant bombardment with it unbearable, and haven’t been to a game since. We have high level memberships, and have been members since we finished uni, also in the mid-90s. Unlikely to attend another match while this aural torture continues.

I still go to the game but this year I have to put on a headphone listening to the radio commentators. It makes the experience acceptable again.Comment

I think the level of noise depends where you sit. Speakers appear to be high in the stands so if you sit at ground level it’s a bit more bearable.Comment

My opinion , wont be popular im sure, but i thought going to the game was about supporting the team ? Not about chit chat with friends ? Every player who pulls on the jumper deserves our respect and our support and for the FANS to be behind them . But a bit of music scares people off ? CmonComment

My experience is that the noise is louder on the Churchill/Brewongle side of the ground than the O'Reilly. I've never sat (or not recently) in the Trumper or MA Noble ends so don't know what it's like there.
However, I swear it's gotten louder in the O'Reilly this season. Maybe they've installed new speakers.Comment

I haven't been able to get up to the SCG this year, but I'm sad to see people are being turned off attending by the noise pollution
Has anyone written to the club about it this year?Comment

For health reasons I haven’t attended any matches since before the pandemic [emoji22] but have maintained my reserved seat membership. I received an emailed AFL survey questionnaire a couple of weeks ago re attendance at matches. Did others on here receive it? My guess is that it was targeted at members who haven’t been attending and that non-attendance is of some concern AFL- wide.
Anyway, for the question on reason for non-attendance, I ticked the Covid box AND wrote in the ‘other reasons’ box a scathing note about the music. My seat is in the Brewongle and the sound up there is excruciating.Comment

Another grenade TB? Bucking the obvious 'general consensus'? You suspect your opinion 'won't be popular'......but isn't that your point of posting it?
Yes, footy's a game where players need support but it's primarily a social event where one catches up with friends and family to watch the game but also to talk about it and related stuff, especially during the breaks when there is no footy and the players don't need fans support.....so if fans can't do this due to incessant loud noise (hardly just a 'bit of music').....it is a problem. It's a sporting event, not a rock concert.
For the club to say 'we make no apologies' is a slap in the face to established fans....fans who are obviously not happy about it, to the point of reconsidering their memberships. Now that could be a real problem for the club. They should take notice.Last edited by stevoswan; 12 May 2022, 02:24 PM.Comment

Me too, as I live in Melbourne. I find it incredible that this has not been addressed by the club! Surely they must know that this level of noise is off putting? It’s crazy that something so easily fixable can annoy fans and worse- keep them away! Someone please contact Tom Harley.Comment

No its not a social event . You are at the FOOTY to watch the FOOTY and support the TEAM . If it was just to socialise you would be watching it at the pub or at a friends house . If you are at the SCG its to be there to support the team . Its annoying i know , it gets on my nerves especially when they play that noisy dance rubbish . But i would need a lot bigger reason than that to keep me away from being there to support the team . all our loyal servants over the clubs history did not put blood sweat and tears into doing this club proud only for fans to years later say a bit of noise kept them from cheering them on .Another grenade TB?

It is what it is so you can choose between going to games and supporting our great team or staying home because of some music ,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
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
