Western Sydney - Are u on board??

[Triple B]

Just to get a feeling....

[AnnieH]

Feeling for what?
Who's going to buy a membership?
Who'll support them, financially or otherwise?


Not I.


But I guess you already knew that.

Sorry Annie, was in the middle of constructing the poll answers and had to take my daughter to work

Yes, I knew where u stood

I'll have to buy one ticket for their "home" game against us ... unless the swannies do the right thing and make a deal with them that gives our members a seat at the game.

I voted for

I live in Sydney, will attend some games, but cannot see myself as ever really cheering for them, I just want to watch footy

but probably could have gone with the option of "will see them as second team"- I imagine that over time I probably will see them as my second team, and certainly want them to do well from the start but I'm not sure that I'll truly support them from day one beyond "supporting the game" (if that makes sense).

That said, I reckon that those of us who've said we want an extra "footy fix" should probably start up an RWO group next year to pick a SFL team to follow and get along to their games on the weeks that the Swans aren't playing at home! Unless there already is such a thing!

I voted, I don't live in Sydney and I don't care.

[CureTheSane]

I posted that I don't care.
But I think I do.
I hope they succeed for the sole reason of creating a Sydney Vs Sydney rivalry and for the good of the AFL as a whole.

But as a club, I really don't GAF if the do well or not, mush the same as I don't care about most other clubs.

I hope they piss off Roy Masters by hoovering up a lot of fans out west, and that they're competitive enough to give us satisfaction out of walloping them.

In other words, Freo in flannies.

Hear hear. Bring it on, all of you. The more supporting the local comp the better and the more chance there will be of getting the 'non-seniors' to be farmed out to the AFLS competition.

Only if it's the Magpies

[pinkemu]

I would have ticked this if it was an option

"I live in Sydney and will go to a fair few games and may see them as my second side"

It will really depend on what type of supporters they pick up

Should be an option in the poll IMO
