Are any of youse fellas John Grono, or do you know him? I've got his member's card

[J_Moore]

Was just lying on the street in Surry Hills last night.

This baby's got premiership club status, which this year is mega-valuable, 'cause the Swans are running HOT into the last week of September.

Member since 1989, so I figured he may just be tragic enough to post/read here.

i've tried a Facebook search but it returned donuts.

HMU on PM or on myspace if it's you.

Ring membership, I'm sure they'll help.

they just told me to mail it in to them. Then presumably they mail it back out. I figure I'll give this a shot to cut out the middle man.

It must be this guy, he lived in Sydney so story checks out.

No it can't be him. Said he migrated to NZ.

I'm John Grono and so's my wife.

What were you doing lying in the street in Surry Hills last night? We haven't won the flag just yet.

To ensure a happy ending, I am willing to take on the identity of John Grono

Tellin' ya, you just can't give a bunch of likely lads like these an opportunity for bants.

Swanettes, you're not gonna bloody believe it.

So after posting this thread and searching through the names of people who'd liked the Sydney Swans on Facebook, and getting nothing, I'd pretty much given up in my quest to find John Grono.

I figured I'd just mail the card back to the club, but I'm a bit of a lazy campaigner, so it's been sitting in the centre console of my car for a week.

Anyway, today my wife gets in, picks up the card and says 'why do you have John Grono's membership card'?
And I'm like 'I found it on the street. Why did you say 'John Grono' like you know who John Grono is?'
And she says 'there's this guy that works in media research called John Grono. He's been around for ages and sits on all these boards & panels for companies we work with. I deadset reckon this card might be his. How many people are called John Grono?'
And I reply 'I've tried to find this bloke on Facie, but had no luck'
And she goes: 'Try LinkedIn. All media people use that.'

Nek minnit



First Gary Rohan kicks that goal against Richmond. Then Gary Rohan takes that mark against Essendon. Then Troy Pannell gives us an absurd 50m penalty after reaming us all night. Then Dean Towers drops that mark, allowing Rory Atkins to turn the ball over in the corridor, leading to the match-winning goal. And now this.

I'm telling ya team: it's our year. The year of the Swan.


Grono's been a member for 30 years (pretty much). He deserves this.

I could be reading too much into this but I reckon John Gronno has a thing for your wife. I'd look out for him.

You read it...I have the video (in beta)!

Another excuse to post this, John Grono is pic related. He bleeds red and white and would love to have his card back (or any other barcodes his fellow Swans fans can send his way).

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

As an aside, I'm now intrigued by the John Grono story above and am hoping the infant daughter turned out ok.

Can you ask him when you see him? We do have a bye coming and I'd rather do some history than bicker about Towers for 2 weeks.

 

[Grongey]

Good work J_Moore!

29 years of membership, means John Grono was there during the lean times of the early 90s, with 8,000 crowds at the SCG.

This alone deserves plaudits. Identify yourself on Saturday night John G., a good news story.

 

[scaryness]

Well done J_Moore, the membership has been returned amidst a sea of imposters trying to jump in and claim it

Don't see a need for this thread to stay open now.
