Our one and only sighting so far has been a ........ whatever game in Feb about 2008. I went along with the only 2 other Swans fans I know, expecting to see a bit of red and white amongst a sea of brown and yellow. Imagine our surprise, make that shock, to find there was red and white every where - banners, the lot. I think every Swans fan in Tassie crawled out from under their rock that day. Despite it being thongs and shorts weather, my Swans scarf had its first outing ever, draped around my bag. One of my friends wore his 'cat in the hat' red and white hat, which was a bit embarrasing, but what the heck.
I reckon of the 8,000 or so at the game at least half were Swans fans. So there you go, Tassie Swans' fans will be very happy if this turns out to be true.
