The Fanatics at SoO

[Clevo]

Hi peeps....just wondering wht you guys thought of The fanatics all dressed in Blue at the SoO.

Did you find it appealing....or bad?

Would you join a groupo like that?

Perhaps you thought that those seats could have gone to real League fans and the fanatics should stick to Tennis and Cricket?

Your thoughts please

 

[Southernsaint]

Was it The Fanatics or The Blue Boys (??) sitting on the corner of the Dead Ball Line all dressed in blue??

The Fanatics are dickheads, IMO, no matter what sport they're at.

Cheers,

The fanatics are the worst supporters group ever. I've been to soccer games where they have been present in large numbers and they sucked. One of them even told me to sit down and stop yelling, wtf? They sit on there hands and make no noise what so ever. They should stick to tennis.

they wont the fanatics. they had a couple of them on the footy show and they are called THE BLUE BOYS and they are good for rugby league. Make alot of noise and try to get everyone around them to get into the game.

f**k DA FANATICS, THEY CAN STAY AT TENNIS :lol:

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Id join them for sure.. It would be sweet

It was actually the Blatchys Blues Blokes and yeah thats right some of us were on the footy show. We have been going for the last 6 years and we have won every game we have been to. We were definitely not the fanatics those blokes are a bunch of tossers. We are all passionate rugby league fans and love nothing more than a blues victory.

Looked good on the telly. Well done Blatchys Blues Blokes!

 

[Knightmare]

I wouldn't mind joining? Does anybody have information as to how I can?

 

[DIEHARD]

Good on you Blue Boys, I'm a Queenslander and can really respect your passion. You guys do NSW proud. Looks like you guys could really start a massive supporter group.

You guys coming to Lang Park? :mrgreen:

 

[MEE]

fanatics those blokes are a bunch of tossers.

word.

 

[theVodkaCircle]

I'd be very interested for Game 3. Some info would be great!

 

[supermario]

where do we join the blue boys????? Me and a few mates will be in on it if more people are needed !

 

[Clevo]

Well I stand corrected! I'm sure I read it in the paper that the Fanatics were heading for the SoO I just assumed the Blue Boys were the fanatics.

More info on Blue Boys needed for sure!

The Fanatics are a bunch of morons.

They're main sport is tennis, but the president doesn't even follow tennis. In the last Davis Cup tie, he was interviewed and ask who he though would win. He said, I really have no idea as I don't follow tennis, but Australia are the favourites. All he does is collect the $75 membership fee that people who want to join them pay.

 

[Southernsaint]

The biggest steaming pile of shit is their website where there's stories about how Rugby League "will die". Then some moron comes on board with a comment like "I'm a huge League supporter but I agree the sport will die". No credibility - Pffffffft!!

I've seen first-hand the poor sportmanship & boorish behaviour of The Fanatics at the cricket in Australia & have mates that have witnessed it in the West Indies & overseas during the tennis.

It's after looking at The Fanatics that something like The Dragon Army is so appealing. It's not a money-making venture, it's driven by passion.

Cheers,

Aren't the fanatics blokes paid by Tennis Australia?

That would make them real fans wouldn't it?

And after all they are a very poor version of the greatest supporter group in the world

The Barmy Army are just another corporate tour group now, I'm afraid. Although, they do do some charity work, which is commendable.

Some parts of it maybe corporate now (Merchandise), but many still stick to the orginal values of why it was set up.

It also doesn't help when other (ECB) set up an offical supporters club.

At the end of the day we still are the best supporter group in the world
