    swans home games in melb

    just thinking this morning

    have the swans thought about relocating a swans home game to the mcg or telstra dome.it would be great for the loyal melbourne swans fans plus to give them another live chance to watch the swans play.

    thoughts any one

    I hope not. It would be detrimental to the development of the game here in Sydney. I also believe that Eade is going to push the Dogs to take their 'home' Sydney game back to Melbourne, so that might give you Melbourne based supporters an extra Swans game.

    Because it would be an unacceptable backward step in the Sydney market.

    firstly im sydney based

    cruiser how can it be detrimental to the sport in sydney.fans have been given the oppourtunity to watch the swans play away games at the scg and the numbers have always been lower than if it was an acutal home game.

    the north melbourne experiment was a flop and only the die hard of afl fans would turn up their games.i personally think sydney people have had more than enough chances to turn out and watch extra games of footy but have turned there back on it.

    what about our melbourne supporter base arent they entitled to see the swans play.

    yesterday was a prime example beautiful sunny day in the harbour city no rugby league or union matches in the inner city,and we only get 22,000.if the game was in melb they would of pulled that plus some.

    and dont give me the sydney people have more things to do.the fact is this city is fickle they are so unpredictable when it comes to attending sporting fixtures.unless the swans are winning week in and out ,crowds at the scg will always be up and down,average.

    No you are being pessimistic. I can see it now, First home game in 2015, at the MCG, Club Captain, 250 gamer, 4 times AA, 3 times Club Champion, Brownlow Medalist LRT unfurls the 4th flag in the last 6 years infront of 42,000 paid up Melbourne based members.
