    Sydney V Melbourne...a blockbuster!

    I know we need to get through the Bombers game first BUT...

    what a game this is shaping to be! Both sides battling for top 4 and there should be a big crowd at the MCG.

    Anyone heading from Sydney down?

    I bought my flight months ago and since that time have thought that this game would be huge. Some potentially great footy to look forward to,

    Me! Me! Me!

    We will have to fire up big time. All hands on deck for that one. I am flying down on the ungodly 6am horror & am carring it back with Air Hatley.

    Maybe you can reveal yourself to the RWO crowd at the Cricketers Arms from 11ish on match day?

    The CS will be in the Ponsford Stand in the lower tier. I will be trying to bags the seat I sat in during the Grand final if I can. (Maybe the back row brigade can do that and hark back to THAT day!?)

    If you are unreserved seat Swans members, why not gather around this vicinity and really help create a co-ordinated effort to help get the boys home?! I'll be bringing down evety sign I can frm Sydney so as to help createa bit more colour behind the goals.

    I'll be sitting above and behind you - on the padded seats on the first tier behind the goals at the Ponsford end. Best seats in the country.

    As per JF, make sure all you Sydney people coming down and Melbourne supporters as well congregate in the Ponsford Stand end of the ground. That is entry via Gate 1 and will be right in front on the after match function which will be upstairs on the second level.

    There will be hardly any Melbourne supporters in this area as they all sit in the MCC which is adjacent to the Ponsford Stand or in the downstairs part of the new Olympic Stand.

    Would be great to get as many Swans supporters in the one spot to add some atmosphere. Usually we end up spread all over the ground.

    Maybe an e-mail to the Melbourne office might prompt them to send out an e-mail to Melbourne based members asking for them to congregate down at the Ponsford Stand end of the ground.

    It's such a blockbuster, I reckon we should get it moved out to Telstra Stadium.

    Come on Dees, all of the evidence so far in 2006 suggests that it will actually improve your chances of winning...

    Hey Cruiser, can you mind seats for the family and I? After seeing where you sat at the Hawthorn debacle, I decided next time we would try to get seats on that level. I did like being in the front row on level three though.

    I sat right behind you JF on THAT day so you have brought back a flood of memories.

    I'm flying over. Will be able to catch up with my eldest who lives in SOUTH MELBOURNE now and hopefully see us put the Demons in the rightful place...beaten by us.

    Jeepers I'm starting to sound like someone from Saintsational...somebody stop me.

    I'll be there....somewhere....

    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.
