LETS ASK THE AUDIENCE...............................

Collingwood playing in Sydney would only be a one off, but if all the Sydney people turn up all the Collingwood fans, who wouldn't want the revenue that comes out of the game? In the end it's the money that helps keep the club going. Although I'd hate the idea, but if you can make a little extra money out of it, does it really matter?

Would you rather Collingwood play a home game at Optus Oval?

[CQ]

i bet the ****ing tossers will play at sydney.

and if we do u can goddam count me out as being a member and stick it right up your arse. eddie. seeing as youre the president you should have control over it.

Hey,

Im from sydney and I would love MY magpies to play one or two home games here. Eddie is a clever man, and I can assure you that any team who plays one or two home games in Western sydney will be on a dinner. Only one or two games are needed, as three matches could be seen in sydney, when the pies play the swans away.

I would like to see the Pies v swans game here, as well as the Pies vs Bulldogs up here too.

I know this is going to stir the pot a bit, but like I said, any team which comes to Sydney, even if only for a couple of matches, will take the town by storm. Rugby League is dead in its former strong holds like Campbelltown since the local team "merged" and our town is just dying for a national team to play even just a couple of matches in the town.

We have a good little suburban ground here, called Monarch Field, and I would love to see my Pies play maybe just one game here. Like I said, It would need to be against a shitty team, such as the dogs or geelong. Melbourne deserves the big games because it is the victorian members who have supported the team through thick and thin.

Please dont get all personal with this, as its simply just an opinion from a Sydney Collingwood supporter.

to the football club Dont take the big games away from Melbourne. That is your heart land. Play a shit team in Sydney, like W.B., but not the goot teams....

TITP......

You are lucky to be watching Collingwood on TV....

Collingwood playing home games in Sydney makes me sick....vomit vomit vomit......

Who cares about about western Sydney anyway?? No-one is your answer....

HOME GAMES AT THE MCG

[McGuane's 77 Bounces]

If we get guaranteed two games in Sydney a year and this makes us only travel 3 times to places like WA, SA and Brissy that has to be a great thing for the club.
Collingwood would still play 18 games in Melbourne, one of the home games against Sydney would be transferred up here and one of our away games at the MCG would act as a home game where members can use their member passes.
I can't see how this effects Collingwood supporters living in Melbourne. All Eddie is doing is trying to grow the Magpie army....starting in the west of Sydney is a good start

[Blanch]

This is not about YOU. You are still going to get your precious 18 games in Melbourne. FFS, put the club first for once.

I'm starting to get a real attitude to those who think because they live in Melbourne they have more rights than an interstate member. I live in WA and I'd like to see more games over here but I realise that WA games do not benefit our club at all. We have a bad record over here and travelling teams to here struggle the next week too. I'd be happy to sacrifice a WA game to see it go to sydney....that way the club prospers as we have a better chance to win in sydney than subi and we are not stuffed for the following week.

I'm willing to make a sacrifice on the very little I see of the boys (not even once this year). How about you put the club first and take a step off that high horse. It's about the club not an individual.

An interesting thought

it's hard to think what i would say at the prospect of a home game away from home, but hey if i still get my membership games then I back the idea the woods have fans in sydney and i believe that they should get a go.

However, if it comes at the cost of the members i would have to say sorry on your bike.

Collingwood playing in Sydney would be to boost their membership numbers. And to promote the club the the NSW area, because we know all teams need members. But sure I hate the idea of Collingwood playing 2 home games in Sydney, but if Collingwood can manage to boost their membership by traveling to Sydney (which probarly wouldn't happen anyways.) Shouldn't they try it? It's not like they are going to have home games in Syria or America, or maybe New Zealand. It's only a few miles out of Victoria. Would you all be like this if Collingwood had money trouble and needed to try and get members and money somewhere else? Of course you wouldn't, 2 games isn't going to worry anything. Although when North Melbourne did it a few years ago is failed because Sydney can't support 2 teams (Although if Collingwood was winning they would support them)

So like Blanch said, put the club first, Eddie's not stupid, if he made the team play a home game in Iraw, then he'd be crazy and stupid, but it's only Sydney. It's not like it's a different country.

Well a home game in Iraq could be good though...the guards could scare the other team away

So I made a typo before, I'm still half a sleep, although it's 12:41pm I didn't get much sleep

[Donny]

Thanks for my first good laugh of the day, Alf.

so many other clubs in $$$$$ problems than collingwood
The game is becoming to interstate dominate
its hard enough winning interstate than give up home games
