I'll tell ya what....most of that 16,281 crowd were going for the Warriors!
Only one Tigers supporter and I were sitting around the halfway of the Eastern Side of the ground (the stand without the players entrance), and man! We had a wicked time!!! So many Warriors supporters were givin us shit before the game, but we got the last laugh! Most of those supporters were leaving with 20 mins of the game left to play!!! ha ha!!! There was a Tigers box up behind us, so we could hear a bit of support there too. When the Hodgson went in under the posts to make it fifty, we were on our feet, yelling "FIFTY! FIFTY!", and giving each other high fives...the crowd were so quiet, and we were having a party, but at the same time, the crowd seemed happy for us, and were laughing as we were bagging the Warriors!!
And to make matters worse for them, I ran into the WHOLE team at the airport as my partner and I were going home that night...I was wearing my Tigers jersey, and they looked down and out, it was FANTASTIC way to rub salt in the wounds..I didn't have to say anything...I got a wee smile from Mark Tookey, but that was about it.
As far as a HOME game is concerned, it wasn't anything near it!!
But I'm gonna be back (from Welli, NZ) for the next two seasons, hopefully for two more similar results....
GO YOU TIGERS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AN AWESOME TIME!!!!
