It's been pretty full of supporters wearing swan's gear when I've done the same.
I've also seen it on a weekend, public holiday, school holidays.
Just like the Waratahs. They get a wide following because their 40,000 fans have one team to support.
Sure, there may be a few Newcastle fans of the swans, myself included, but I doubt Newcastle has a market for it. Any of you been to watch black diamond out of curiosity?
Idk, posting about the viability of an Afl team in a football forum won't generate an accurate depiction of what the community wants or would appreciate and support.
