relapse said:Does your melbourne based squad still have a rivarly with the sydney based one. Last time I was in Melbourne and went to a Swans game V Essendon on a Friday night (maybe 92??) the Melbourne squad refused to chant Sydney and refused to have anything to do with the Sydney based squad.
I could tell you a story about this topic. But I won't because the thread is about the Crows. And I don't want them all getting huffy about Swans supporters hijacking THEIR thread.
Luckily these days not only do the travellers from both cities know each other pretty well thanks to the internet etc, we are all incredibly close personal friends who like to spend time with each other socially after matches whereever we are. Our post match pizza get-togethers (especially in Melbourne) are becoming the realm of legend. We have had up to 33 people coming for pizza after games. And even had a party at one supporter's place around the corner from the ground when we played Geelong last season. It is a great way to unwind and cheer up after losses like Saturday night.
Gone are the days of factions, with one group chanting "Go Swans!!!" and the other "Sydney!!" We sing the same club song. And chant the same stuff these days. Our club is all the more stronger as a result of this. And the support for the team has lifted 1000% too.
