The Official Pre-Game function at the Sydney Superdome was cancelled by the Club due to lack of numbers.
The Club sent a letter to all Collingwood and SCSC (Sydney Collingwood Supporters Club) members advertising the function, along with a deadline of Tuesday the 6th of June for people to indicate they were coming.
From memory the Club wanted 150 people, but by the 6th June deadline only about 40 people had committed.
The SCSC was consulted prior to the cancellation.
The Club had to make a decision on whether to invest the resources into an event that may not have got enough support and ended up costing them money.
At the end of the day the support was not there for the function (in its proposed form).
The Club and SCSC will try and work something better out for next year.
There has been some talk that the SCSC pre-game function at Wests may have been drawing support away from the Collingwood function at the Superdome as well, but that is not the only reason for the failure of the function.
The SCSC is very proud of our pre-game function which we have been running at Wests now for 5 years (and is well established, growing in support every year)... it also serves an important function in supporting the Cheersquad when they are in Sydney.
I want to stress that there is no ill feeling from the SCSC towards the Club, and that the SCSC is continuing to receive good support.

Ahem! Just like you tried to de-rail the club without getting a proper explanation into something that is absolutely no concern of yours but another quest for the serial pest to stir shit.Tess wrote:You have tried to de-rail this thread, hopefully now the discussion can continue.

Tess is a good friend of the Sydney Collingwood Supporters Club.aceofstace wrote:Thank you for clearing things up without the hysterics stoliboy
Her efforts in the past, particularly at the Collingwood AGM helped get improvements in the support Interstate Supporter Clubs receive from 'The Club'.
We would like a 'joint' Collingwood and Sydney Collingwood Supporters Club function, but unfortunately were not able to achieve that this year.
I think there will be a good chance of a joint Collingwood/SCSC function next year.

Yes you are so hard done by the evil black and white empire, and we all know the club is going out of its way to deliberately screw you overSteve wrote:
Tess has always been a very strong advocate for us interstaters and our issues with Collingwood fc and has helped all of the intersate supporter groups in the past, she had the guts, unlike many on here, to stand up for us at a AGM and put our side across and stand up for our rights.
FFS supporting a club means just that... SUPPORT
Not sniping the people that actually had the talent, guts and commitment to work for us
The armchair critic that does nothing but knock the doers of the world is to be despised as a traitor to evolution

He is gone. Red carded finally.
He sent me a Private Message informing me that he is indeed that pathetic low-life wanker, something most of knew anyway. He seemed disappointed that no-one was argueing with him anymore.
Well done Tess. I asked once in another thread that "wasteofspace" be deprived of the oxygen he needed to survive. As you said, he seemed disappointed that we had stopped engaging in "battle"
Gone for now, but as we all know he will be back again soon. We all now know his style so when he does surface again, let's all just ignore the baiting and he will wither and die quickly.
