FFS.
When people are arrogant and condescending to me... expect that I'll go down to their level and respond in like.
To me, a "genuine fan" is someone is supports the club. This person, obviously, isn't a "genuine fan". NARF, I think we used to call it.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Must be late season. We look like a chance. It may explain the tension and anxiety on this thread.
I'd say being a fan since 1956 adequetely qualifies for being a "genuine fan"
Lets support the team rather than offend each other
We're ALL GENUINE FANS !!
I must confess I supported Essendon for a whole fortnight when I was 10Originally Posted by BRISWAN
I feel like my genuineness has been compromised ever since
Some fans are better fans than others.
The way I follow the Swans now, would put me at around 50% fan. (no membership, rarely make it to games)
Being a member of the biggest unofficial Swans sit lifts me to around 65% fan.
Being a South Melbourne supporter has to add another 10% - 75%
Seeing the first GF as a member at the time brings in maybe 5%.
So I'm 80% fan.
And I'm OK with that
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
I think it's time to call in Champion Data and solve this "genuine/fake" Swans fan dilemma once and for all.
Originally I thought the ABS might be the right organisation for the job, but they are 0-and-1 this week, and
you're only as good as your last game. Champion Data's new supporter rating software system could ask a series of questions
like how long you�ve been a Swans member, how many GWS games you have attended, what length you would go
to be the 5000th post on the Tippett thread on RWO, and are your clothing purchase choices
based on whether Tom Derickx has modelled them or not, and come up with a genuine fan rating number out of ten
based on your answers. For a small fee the company could send out a certificate with your rating for framing purposes, or
a version to keep on your phone, handy to add as an attachment to any future social media posts.

You guys are hilarious.

Have you ever been in possession of cocaine?
If so, do you still have some at home now? (If the answer is yes, could you send me a PM with your address).

2 things about your post that are factually incorrect.
1. You have spelled the word arse incorrectly. The world now insists on using the US cringe spelling of ass. We do not have a donkey as an attachment to the posterior of our frames. At least you could have embraced correct English when you stopped over in Oz for 20 years. And while I am at it, what is this word...poop. When I refer to poop I am using the term describing the poop deck on a boat, which is not the crapper. The toilet seat was invented by an American called Crapper, so why don't they use the term crap.
2. The photo of Sam Reid and his dog is an old photo. Sam surely has more wrinkles by now.
I may have used the word Donkey instead of Ass. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the yanks managed to Inbreed/cross breed Donkeys and called them an Ass. So Donkeys as we know them, don't exist there.
Cheers

1. Since 2003 - 1 point
2. Six - every time they have played the Swans - 2
3. Would stay up all night - 2
4. Tom who? I'm still Brett Kirk's fashion tips - 2
Bonus point for joining RWO within six months of discovering the Swans
I get 8. Can I ruck this weekend please? Everyone else gets to have a go.
Come and join the egalitarian giants. No one has been a fan longer than 5 years and no fans have been to a grand final.
Giants: we dont judge.

The only true measure of swans fandom is number of posts on RWO.
