Dickson’s tone changes depending on the audience.
The irony is you're the biggest moron on the forum.
For it to have any hope of working then no games can be played at NSO. South Melbourne tried to have a foot in both camps when they relocated to Sydney. It didn't work until they made the full time move and played all home games in Sydney.
God help us!
Bound to go tits up then.
From what I can tell the Swans ever played any home games in Melbourne once they moved to Sydney.
I can't think of a single example of a major club that relocated but continued to play home games in their old market. There're some in the US that have moved back to old markets (e.g. Rams and Raiders), but none that've split games between a new and old market.
Once they permanently moved they didn't but they did start playing games up here before that, so in both cities... I seem to maybe remember.
That is correct.

Seriously...That is correct.
In 1982, South moved their home matches to Sydney while the players continued to live in Melbourne. By 1983 however, the club name had changed to Sydney Swans and operations had moved to the Harbour City entirely.1981 - South Melbourne to Sydney - Sports Industry AU
Founded in 1874, the Bloods would go on to win 5 premierships in the VFA and 3 VFL premierships before
That's nothing like @Get Rid of The Donkeys suggested though.That is correct.

I can't think of one that's done it long term, and the ones that have done it short term have always had little choice.
You don't have a problem with the North Sydney Bears playing 12 games in Perth as the "North Sydney Bears"?
A. The Bears wouldn't need a transitional period to relocate to Perth fulltime like the Swans did to move to Sydney. The Bears aren't even offering to truly relocate in reality, but that's an aside.
Not sure that what happened 40+ years ago in the VFL is relevant but South Melbourne did not have a partial move to Sydney before they decided to relocate. The VFL played half a dozen games @ SCG involving various teams (like the NRL has done in Perth), then decided that a Sydney team was a good idea and Swans grabbed the opportunity as they were broke.That is correct.

The Bears won't accept a joint venture unless they own a controlling share, and aside from having some talks that haven't amounted to anything, they haven't really pursued a merger at all. Frankly, they'll accept it if they have no choice and they've got the final say, but ideally they don't want a partner and don't believe they need one.
South Melbourne did base themselves out of Melbourne in 1982 and continued playing under that brand.
