Swans cancelling GF receptions.

[GWBogan]

Swans supporters are the biggest bandwagoners, no one shows up to their events when they lose.

Bulldogs will take that mantle next year especially if they can't replicate this year's effort.

 

[Mr Eagle]

More interested in getting the word "syddywobbles" into circulation myself

"Swan dive" is too simple to go past. You've got no hope!

 

[Percel]

West Coast Eagles held a reception at Domain Stadium last year regardless of whether they won or lose the day after the Grand Final.

Was the decibel reading of the Boooooooo measured?

This is why GWS will be such a disaster. They will win 5 flags in a row then in year 6 when they only make a prelim or something all their support will evaporate ala Brisbane.

 

[PP34]

It's pretty clear why they would do it. They've got a bit of a bandwagon feel about them, and even clubs with incredibly passionate and loyal fans would struggle to get people turning up early on a Sunday morning if they lost the grand final I would have thought.

Haha
What rubbish. Doesn't deserve a detailed response when you just post your dreams without any justification.

Look no one celebrates losers the club did the right thing by cancelling it. It would be the last thing the players want to do

that's bullshit.

Even after 2001 there was a thousand fans at Windy Hill...the losing team events can be a bit morbid, but, you still have to thank your fans no matter what. Dead set disrespectful otherwise.

After the Swans first ballot there was "limited" single seats and standing still available. The had a second chance and opened it members who didn't apply for first ballot. I heard there was about 1000 standing only tickets still left after that

These 1000 went to a second shot for the Bulldogs but only to members who missed out on the first ballot. They sold out in minutes.

You heard wrong.

200.

Not 1000.

Well they did say beforehand they would be cancelled if they lost.

 

[melbournemartin]

From memory they did one in 2014 and not many people showed up.

They did it in Melbourne but cancelled in Sydney.

the single difference between a football state and a non football state

Why does it matter?

Your fans are the glue of the club. Respect them!

 

[Dangas]

Your fans are the glue of the club. Respect them!

In 2014, hardly anyone turned up.

They lost. Personally I don't like celebrating mediocrity. But, other clubs might want to.

Says it all then really. the fans you have simply don't give a rats arse. Glory seekers.

 

[Pessimistic]

I'm sure Erin would have been there

Increased our membership figures by over 50% in just 4 years. Looks like some care.

 

[blue harvest]

I'm sure Erin would have been there

And Andrew Wu.

Wonder if rumours of a punch up between several players had anything to do with it....

No these events were advertised all along as only going ahead if they won.
The supposed punch up probably only affected any internal gatherings straight after the game.

Yep, this has been pointed out several times but let's not let facts get in the way of a good rant!

 

[SSSSSS]

Nothing story.
