I just use Nord. I have found it pretty good. I'm not that experiences with VPNs though so I have only tried this one and another one that I can't remember the name of. That one was no good for me.

If I read the map correctly right behind the Randwick end goal posts up high in the Trumper. Interesting view.
I'm in my 14th year Row E Bay 27 on the 50m line same end but close to the boundary.

Any of our WA based friends know how likely it is for this Vic based swan to get a ticket to the Sydney v Eagles game at Optus? Looking at doing the trip over Easter weekend.

Should be ok. It’s a 60000 seat stadium and has only been sold out for finals. The eagles doing badly means support has dropped and there’s not many casual attenders. If you can buy through the club you will be grouped with other Swans fans behind the eastern goalposts.

I find the Qatar Airways ads that precede many videos on the club website more annoying (especially the voice - "dreeeeeammm") than the Didi ads that are bombarding us on the afl.com.au website.

Swans merch website being taken over by Mitchell and Web, some sort of global sports brand, with inflated prices!!

What the ****'s Mitchell and Webb doing with the Swans? Jesus, I need a drink.

Turns out its Mitchell and Ness

Just realised the tickets for Gather Round go on sale Wednesday.

Every bloody year, these tickets get released on the day I was out of the classroom the year before. I'm sure these pricks do it on purpose to shit me.

Mitchell and Ness make good stuff so I'm torn

Don't have any clue who they are , but its expensive and not needed

I gave up being a wannabe hipster before I even started.

Their stuff has zero interest to me. $$ staying in my pocket

American sports wear company, who sell Nba and Nfl authentic clothing. Seem to be very big corporate w***ers who seem to want to dominate sports apparel, regardless of interest in sport. Somehow some complete tool, conviced higher ups in Swans merch Dept to decide that the average Swans fan needed a bespoke brand of merch at stupid prices. Mitchell and Ness are corporate raiders and i cant understand why this happened!

 

[Ed_Gein]

Mitchell and Ness? Thanks for the heads up. Just dropped $500 on apparel.

I very rarely buy club merchandise but just looked quickly at the website. Doesn’t seem that this company has taken over all the merchandise, but rather that the site offers one line produced by them. There’s still other stuff too. So no-one has to buy this expensive line.

And I happily bought the other 'good' stuff

The Mitchell and Ness stuff can get in the bin for all I care. We're a sporting club, not a street wear poser brand

The club is in it to make money. And there are probably some fans who like that stuff. Let them buy it and you can ignore it.

I agree. You can sell your soul or the fabric of your club through your merchandise, or
you can be genuine and offer affordable merchandise to your supporters who support you.

They buy the cheaper stuff...I'm all for reducing wealth and income inequality, but I'm not sure sports team paraphernalia is the sword to die on.
