Sydney Collingwood Magpies Supporter Group

The Sydney Collingwood Supporters Club was formed in 2002 and has sponsored a Collingwood player since our inception (currently NSW rookie Scott Reed who was the Pie’s first ever NSW scholarship selection). We meet at the Camelia Grove Hotel at 146 Henderson Road, Alexandria to watch the Pies except for Anzac Day, Queens Birthday and the Pies game in Sydney when we meet at Magpie Sports, 40 Hampton Street, Croydon Park. We also organise footy trips to Melbourne and our major fundraiser is the Pies V Swans game in Sydney.

Annual membership prices:
  • $20 Metro Sydney
  • $10 Country/Interstate/Country (Min. 120 km from Sydney CBD)
  • $10 Junior

SCSC members receive regular email updates, access to members-only tipping comp, an SCSC membership card, a supporter pack produced by the Collingwood Football Club and an annual newsletter highlighting our year.For those who can make it to our venues, it is a great opportunity to watch the telecast with a bunch of like-minded Pies fans as we discuss, analyse, barrack, laugh, yell, and hopefully get to sing the club song together at the end of the game. We hope you can join us support the Pies in 2010.

Camelia Grove Hotel
146 Henderson Road, Alexandria (Ph: 02 9516 5611)

SCSC members gather here to watch most of the games throughout the year. The big screen is booked in advance for each game but please call one of the contacts if you're coming along in case there has been a late change. The hotel has TAB, Keno, Pokies and a bistro that is open until 9:30pm (Note: the bistro is closed Sundays). Like Magpie Sports, the Camelia Grove is also a wheelchair friendly venue.

Magpie Sports (formally Wests Aussie Rules Club)
40 Hampton Street, Croydon Park (Ph: 02 9797 0347
)

We use our 'spiritual home' home for the marquee games - Anzac Day, Queens Birthday and the Pies games against the Swans in Sydney. Magpie Sports is open 7 days a week. There is an excellent bistro with dinning room, TAB, Keno and Pokies and drinks at club prices. It is wheelchair friendly venue and people under the age of 18 are welcome at attend our functions there.

Collingwood V Swans Pre Match Gathering 

Mark Saturday 26 June 2010 in your diary, as this is the day Collingwood takes on the Swans! If you haven’t been before, Magpie Sports is decked out in Black & White and past victories & highlights are the big screen. SCSC members and supporters mingle with members of the Official Collingwood Cheer Squad and Pies supporters from around Australia.  Unless we have a show on, entry is free to encourage all members and supporters to just rock up and experience the day.

Tickets to the game go on sale to the public on 11 May so if you want to sit with the supporter group, please contact us well before this date.

We don’t have anyone booked yet but, weather permitting; Wests Magpies are slated to play Sydney University that day on Picken Oval in front of the club.  Sydney Uni includes most of Collingwood’s NSW Scholarship so it’s a good chance to check our future draft picks.

Other highlights of the day include:

·       A major raffle of Pies merchandise drawn on the day

·       Collingwood highlights on the big screen

·       The "Magpie Express" transports members and supporters to and from ANZ Stadium all for $4.  

There is also a city pick up for interstate & cheer squad members. So why not come along for a look-see. The money we spend there goes to a fair dinkum Aussie Rules supporting club.

Collingwood V Swans Annual Players Night

The annual Magpie Sports Players Night is held on the Friday night before the Swans game. Past greats to attend include Mick McGuane, Bob Skilton, Tony Shaw, Shane Morwood, Doug Hawkins, Peter Daicos, Barry Round, Len Thompson and Tom Hafey. It's a great lead into the weekend. Ticketing (usually around $30) and special guest details will be available closer to the date.
