My son is doing some research in the history of the Footscray area. Just some interesting little scraps he has found out.
We were the first club to come up with a song, and the song meant a lot as we were the salt marsh boys, so it was derived from Sons of the Seas.
The boys from the West constantly would beat the silver spooners, which would mean rules would be created to keep them out, ie cricket. So the recent story about Footscray taking the the red white and blue colours to support the Footscray rowing club that was excluded was true.
Our club is older than both Hawthorn and Norf.

If people are interested I will add the other little scraps that come up.
Please make a thread about this. I think we would all.enjoy that.

You know what, walked past Biggie's once, looked at the menu. Nothing at all took my fancy tbh. So it looks as though you and i are complete opposites then :p
Not really I have never eaten there precisely because if I'm going to have a kebab I'm not paying 20 bucks.

Very newb question. Am trying to buy public access tickets to Sydney vs. Richmond next week at the G but there are basically only tickets available online on level 1 near the goal.

Hoping to spend a bit more and get level 2 wing seats. Is this possible and how do I go about getting them? Best to buy at the venue on the night?

Cheers

We collectively regularly lament the 'second favourite team' moniker on this board, if BigFooty is any indication of the real world and of course it is, then we are not going to have to concern ourselves with what to me has always been a patronising and altogether unwanted term for very long.

Dive in fellas, the water is warm, if somewhat salty.

So Mattdoogie has been suspended for like two weeks now. WTF. I'm assuming it's because he told the Norfies to go walk into oncoming traffic. But come on TWO WEEKS?! It's been long enough. Let him back in. Jong is gone this week. I wanna see him smiling again.

The fact that we need to dedicate a huge wall of posts and back-and-forths in every single preview thread just because of one poster's personal disdain for a player of ours makes this a welcome relief.

Bans are done on points aggregate. 5 points is one week, 10 is 2, 15 is 3, 20 is permanent. He got over 10, so it's 2.
