I think most of us "Old South Supporters" are spread far and wide these days.Even after all this time I still think of them as the Bloods,I know the move to Sydney was the best thing that happened to them,but it's still hard to change my way of thinking.As I live over 200ks from Melbourne I watch them on Pay T V. The only way to get the Real news about them is to come here to this forum or the Swans home page.Seems to be better news here LOL.I saw my first game at the old south ground 1946.

I had a friend who went to the MCG for the first time last week (Richmond game). She couldn't believe how much red and white was in the crowd. I had to explain that we were originally from Melbourne and that we have a HUGE membership base and following still going strong today. Oh der... an away game for us in Melbourne is like a home game, crowd-wise. The noise from the Richmond game was fantastic on the TV. There is still HEAPS of passion for the swans in Melbourne.
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.
Well the tigers supporters were loud early because they started so well and we were really bad!!
Once the swans started coming back into the game the noise from the swans supporters around me was amazing. A couple of times when we had a shot at goal the cheers were so loud that I thought we had missed. Same thing happened in the essendon game.
