Swans cancelling GF receptions.

[DERIBERATE]

Some classy posting about a ckub that lost a grand final today in this thread.

Yeah, why can't everyone in sport just love one another

 

[Giant Heart]

showing the true spirit of the bloods in defeat

I think the bloods have coagulated.

 

[Amazing Racer]

Smacks of sore losers - and it is a shame for all the supporters who actually wanted to thank the players for the year they have had.

I don't have an issue with this.

I worked at the post grand final reception for the Swans in 2014 and can confirm that not many turned up in the slightest.

Was a very eerie experience that's for sure

 

[Redline]

I don't have a problem with it, most people that go along do so out of obligation.

Why not advertise these events as "if we win" rather than cancelling if you don't?

Like the parade you guys planned one year?

Why is this thread worthy! These things cost a lot of money to put on, if no one is going to show can it. I'm sure they will have a day for the fans later, most clubs do.

I'm sure it costs money to cancel too. No matter the club, just state you only intend to hold it should you win.

They did do that very clearly

 

[Xenthor]

It is pretty poor by the swans, there's no way it isn't. Sore losers.

 

[rdhopkins2]

That's fair enough then.

 

[MF]

How much was left over that they didn't sell to Swans?

200 but they were all single seats I believe. We had enough registered that many fans still missed out in the ballot because they wanted to sit with friends etc.

You would say that though.

 

[Doss]

Non-issue.

 

[Heardy_101]

Some WB posters already acting like entitled flogs *sigh*

Left them have their time to bask in the sun. They've had a 62 year wait between drinks and a 55 year wait between grand finals.

 

[Hawkthorn33]

Bandwagoners

 

[Percel]

Attendance in this thread has been poor, OP should've cancelled it and notified subscribers.

 

[BigVic]

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

 

[JackFlash]

There are no celebrations if you lose!

 

[Kram]

 

[Pessimistic]

They will have a family day, so whats the deal?

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

 

[sportsmaniac89]

I'm more interested in erasing yesterday from my mind in all seriousness

 

[ep2018]

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

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.

 

[My North]

no one wants to see the losers

good move by the Sydney Swans
