Sydney Swans Chief Executive Andrew Ireland is urging Swans fans to make sure they get to ANZ Stadium on Saturday June 26, and outnumber the Magpie army at the blockbuster match...
NEXT Saturday, June 26, is the Sydney Swans biggest game of the season so far. I send this message to you, our loyal supporters, with a very simple message - WE NEED YOU AT THE GAME!
Our fans have been turning up to our games in very impressive numbers this year, and as Jarrad McVeigh said after the victory over Essendon…the voice and the presence of the crowd make a big difference.
Importantly though, we need you all to go to the next level. To lift the team to a win over Collingwood, we need you to bring along your friends and family members who normally support our Sydney Swans from their armchairs.
Only YOU can get them out of the lounge room and convince them to lend their voices to the Syyyyyyd-neeeeey chorus.
The Collingwood Magpies have a large, mobile supporter base and judging by ticket sales so far, they are going to descend onto OUR turf. As loyal, vocal and proud Red and White Swans fans, we need to collectively ensure we are not outnumbered at our home ground.
It is critical we have overwhelming support for the Swans at ANZ Stadium, and that we have every one of our supporters there to enthusiastically and passionately cheer our boys onward to victory.
Our team is looking to consolidate its spot in the top eight and prove itself a genuine threat in the run to September.
With the likely return of Rhyce Shaw and Daniel Bradshaw for this game, and the return last week of Tadhg Kennelly and Ben McGlynn, we will bolster our run off half back, and improve the potency of our forward line.
To help the team avenge the losses to Collingwood in past seasons, you and your network can create the biggest Swans crowd of the year, in our biggest game of the year so far.
It's been five long years since we've sung our song to silence the Black and White faithful. Be at the game and be able to say…"I made a difference, I spurred the boys on.''
You and your friends could be the extra 1% that gets us over the line on Saturday 26 June under lights at ANZ Stadium. It's time for the Red and White to UNITE!
Regards
Andrew Ireland
CEO
