I like the swans too much for a hate based rivalry. More a mutual respect rivalry

There are too many dual citizens for a particularly brutal rivalry.
Give it a generation - there's a fair bit of feeling among the kids. Lines are well and truly drawn at our club between the Swans and Giants.

How many should we have in 5 years of existence?
On facebook they were advertising the game and someone said they tried to buy tickets and it said "Allocation exhausted" in every section
Good news if sold out. Hope there is plenty of orange

Bay 2 is sold out, so that should be a solid block of orange. Bays 12 is usually reserved for the opposition as well, and there's only a handful of tickets left in there. So we should be "noticeable".

Lets see.
As South your 1st one was what when you were 30?
As Sydney you were 24.
Hmmm we will be right

The banter is strong in this one...
Seriously, I think the players have more of a rivalry than the supporters.
That said, next week we will feel the true hate of fans and, to be honest, most of us will be "dudes, you got your Premiership before us. Chill."

Yeah
Except I have a few of the pond scum Mutts supporters who follow me around on the main board, outraged when I post a thread not about them, and simultaneously claiming I'm obsessed with them.
Odd thing is I like watching their team, who deserve better. Like all clubs they do have quality posters.
My plan is not to back off on the main board or here, if that puts me in a minority so be it.
But can the swans fans purchase tickets in there too ?
Last SCG derby our blocks seemed to be half half

I suppose so, but bay 2 is always allocated to the opposition.
I'm pretty sure we'll be well represented tonight.

Speculation on their board that Towers might be a late in...for Buddy.

So, the Lions vs Bulldogs game showing that no matter what the respective ladder positions, a team that brings heat to the contest can take the game to its opposition, and failing to take advantage of I50s can lead to being behind on the scoreboard despite your team's overall advantage in possession. Lessons for us are that we need to be turned on 100% for this game, because the Sydney midfield is a lot better than Brisbane's - they've just been down on form. We need to hit them hard early, get an advantage and hopefully keep them out of form. We'll see about Buddy, but certainly his absence would provide an advantage to GWS, but if we get complacent because of that news ... we could easily get ambushed. Stay alert Giants, play to your normal level and you'll win this.
