Official Team Thread S32 – Alberton Qootball Club, the Sin City Swamprats [B&F Winner: philreich]

The Swamprats
​

Within the SFA, the Alberton Qootball Club, a.k.a., the Sin City Swamprats, is not known as a flashy organization; preferring internal bonding and posting quality over external exposure and amount of posts. However, there is nothing wrong in a Rat being a very active poster and/or openly promoting himself and the club.

Moreover, the Swamprats are not a club for crying one’s own misery, but for overcoming it with the aid of fellow wretched souls. There is no judgment on anyone’s past. This is the club of perpetual renewal; the place for new beginnings. Here, it is always possible to start over. The doors are always open to everyone.

This season, it’s the club who is starting over. At least, it feels somewhat like it. If the doors are open to come in; they are also open to get out. It’s part of the risk. After S31, the Rats have experienced an exodus. We knew it was coming. We had fought hard to avoid it after S30.
 Now, we couldn’t simply roll over and quit.

So, we went to work. A couple of names reverted their decision to leave and stayed with us for another season. We know it’s for one season only. It doesn't matter. We will enjoy their company while it lasts. Moreover, some new players have joined us. In the end, even though many have departed, we have a full squad and more. We are ready to go.

Last season, the Sim decided we wouldn’t win at home. This season, the SFA rewarded us with 10 home games in 16 rounds. We noticed it. [Then, the league changed our fixture to 8 home games; still...] We expect the results to be quite different, though. The Underground won't be an welcoming place in S32.

Watch out, Sweet! The Rats are coming and hungrier than ever…

This season I've decided to wear a metal chain top. Bring it.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Except magnets.

Please don't bring those.

Ta. GTG.

 

[Dav]

Wait so the Swampies are dumping the Sin City moniker?

 

[ant555]

Looking forward to getting my ALLSFA spot back.

 

[GremioPower]

Wait so the Swampies are dumping the Sin City moniker?

No. We are still the Sin City Swamprats.

 

[jackster83]

Going to be an impressive return to form in season 32, especially if we can remember how to win at home.

Our new rookies are already showing a bit of attitude.

 

[Catsnlakers]

This season we get back to the GF!....Up the Swampies!

Oh good. It really was a struggle watching you run around shirtless all of last season. At least this is a step in the right direction.

Cheers to a new season

Next season we look at maybe adding some kind of pants or shorts I guess...

You never played at FF. It’s hard…

 

[Headless]

Why the Alberton emphasis this season, out of interest?

Cut and paste mistake?

I did at the Wonders for a little while.

Dominated.

Got moved.

It’s the first time that Alberton is in the thread title, Headless, but it’s the third season already that we go with “Alberton Qootball Club” along with “Sin City Swamprats.”

 

[Marlowe]

So what does Sin City refer to? A suburb/region of Alberton? A nickname for the town?

Got 'em!

Depends on who you speak to. When we brought the idea of SIN City I wanted the sin to be an acronym of strength in numbers.
