Thread: General Swans chat 2023

  1. #13
    Some of these posts belong in the Swans HQ thread. As for "rooftop garden bar amongst public bars scattered around the complex" - most of Swans HQ is off limits to the public (and even members). There will be some spaces that are available for hire for functions/events.

    "Even members"? The Swans have made a point of saying that this complex will be a 'community hub' and a place where members can gather to enjoy the facilities.

    There would have to be some Swans areas that are off limits. Players and staff are entitled to have their lunch, recreation breaks etc in spaces that have privacy and not have to worry about the general public wandering in.

    I don’t see why a club membership would give one access to every part of the HQ building. They have said there is a community hub and they will determine what rooms/facilities are part of the community hub and which are not.

    Are there any restrictions/preferences on the size or file type?

    That's not what I meant...just certain areas, use of gym obviously when the Swans players aren't using it, probably just one of the cafes....that sort of thing.

    There are no cafes. They are going to have pop-up bars in the foyer (downstairs, north end) on match days when members will be allowed into the foyer area. There will be separate coffee carts etc. on the forecourt immediately outside for the hoi polloi. I was hopeful there was going to be a cafe where you would glimpse Swans players and staff coming and going. But they have a separate entrance and their own dining area (upstairs at the south end) which will not normally be accessible.

    Healy was saying on SEN that it'd attract people away from the Paddington pubs . . .
    That might be overstating the attractions of a foyer and plastic cup of warmish beer - but then I haven't seen what Healy has seen, so maybe.

    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    I notice that GWS won a 'best coverage of sport by a club or organisation’ award from the Australian Sports Commission.

    Ha!

    Maybe you could mention that to Harley next time you're speaking to him at training, bloodspirit.

    If I remember, I'll be glad to! Thanks MattW.

    This is lovely - a couple of seats permanently named after Kenny and Yvonne Williams

    A tribute to Kenny
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say

    Very nice, but would love to see a statue at some point too - but at least a genuine tribute is now there
