It was the second GIANTS Fan Day to be hit by bad weather this week but that didn't stop fans turning out to see their heroes at the ACT Fan Day at StarTrack Oval, Canberra.

The players signed autographs and posed for photos after training at StarTrack Oval as they prepared for tomorrow night’s opening NAB Challenge match against the Swans.

Fans were also able to sign up to be a 2014 GIANTS membership, collect their members cap and buy 2014 GIANTS merchandise.

GIANTS forward Jon Patton is in the squad that will take on the Swans as he makes his return from a knee injury sustained at the same venue in Round 3 last year.

The GIANTS side will also feature all five of the club’s off-season recruits with Shane Mumford and Jed Lamb to face their old side for the first time and Heath Shaw, Josh Hunt and Dylan Addison all in GIANTS colours for the first time.

The GIANTS will face the Swans at 7.10pm on Thursday night at StarTrack Oval, Canberra in game one of the NAB Challenge competition.

The match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy (channel 504) from 7pm on Thursday night with GIANTS special guests throughout the broadcast.
