    p.s Win the flag I mean
    You are quite right Sall, I had a Saints supporter say the very same thing to me at the game the other week.

    Not only are we the most popular team, but our fans are the nicest and most civic-minded as well. People like Big Al taking time out of their busy days to visit people in prison - gee that's heartwarming....

    That would be 180,000 fans. Where in Sydney? Some people

    More interesting is the change in supporters since 2001. Sydney -16.7% and only 1.4% growth since June 2010

    GWS have had a 100% increase in supporters during the same time. That makes GWS the more popular team in Sydney based on growth rate.
    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    An AFL game, not necessarily a Swans game. Clearly a lot of non-Sydney based Swans fans out there.
