    Yes It's True Sydney Swans have supporters in Sydney

    Incredible insights from Mike Sheahan, Sydney Swans have supporters in Sydney! And Players!

    Next week from @@@@@ey Trees in Tasmania fact or fiction

    It looked a similar crowd to the North Sydney oval 'traditional' trial which was usually a good day

    AFTER breaking his NAB Cup maiden status on Saturday, Sydney coach Paul Roos will keep using the competition to prepare for round one of the premiership.

    WHEN your mother has six sisters and a brother, and your dad has six brothers and five sisters, chances are you will end up with a few cousins to chase. Lewis Jetta did, and that's partly responsible for one of the weapons he displayed on debut for Sydney on Saturday night.

      What amazes me is the bleeding insights that are so stupid. Like 80% of the crowd were from the west, therefore GWS.

      Are they colourblind? It was all RED AND WHITE people. Reality Check. The west have Sydney Swans supporters. They were there to see the first game of the season. NOTHING to do with GWS.

      Stupid stupid men. mutter grumble, cumudgeon style growling....

          I guess what's important about the 80% of the crowd from the west is that it means there is a football culture there. Of course it's mainly Swans, the Swans are the only teams. But if you can get 8,000 Swans fans to a Swans NAB Cup match with tickets sold out, a League match on over the road (well, not quite) and a history of losing badly in these matches, then it suggests that Swans supporters are reasonably common there. And if Swans supporters are reasonably common there, GWS supporters should be able to become reasonably common there.

          The entire basis of the GWS push is the fact that support lies between two extremes: none, in which case there's not much point going in, and saturation, in which case it will only steal supporters off the Swans. GWS wants to build upon a football culture started by the Swans, but not dominant. Those crowd figures are being used to demonstrate that this football culture exists.

                  I thought that it very amusing that in yesterdays paper they did a comparison of the crowd saying that league won hands down - 11,000 odd turned up at the Penrith Parra game - now there are the two local teams and they could still only manage 11,000. We had just 200 shy of the full house of 10,000 at Blacktown with 97% of people being Swans Supporters - what the paper doesnt tell you is that Penrith Stadium holds actually 21,000 so it was still only half full. So the AFL should be happy with the turn out.

                      Further, the game sold out two weeks before the game therefore it wasn't possible to squeeze in more than the pre-determined ground capacity of 10,000. I'd guess also that there were a good number of people other than myself who were unable to get a ticket. The sellout also eliminated the fans who traditionally purchase at the gate on the day. If BOS had a Penrith Park capacity I'd be very surprised if it didn't top the 15K mark.
