Just thought I'd chime in here with a point.
A lot of people are throwing around claims to being a "bigger" fan than someone else based on the number of games you attend or how many flags you own, or whether you eat on gameday.
Im sorry but that does not wash.
I know people in the Dragon Army who are there every week, but I never hear a positive word come out of their mouth. I hear people bag the players, the coach and the club staff, yet they claim to be the biggest supporters of the team goin around.
I've heard it for years. Since I was about 15 I've sat amongst the Dragon Army and I've heard and seen things unbecoming of any so called fan.
I'm not innocent either. I sang "our coach is an easter egg" during the Farrar era. I booed Trent Barrett till my throat was sore some days, and I've sledged Dousty more times than I can remember.
For my mind the measure of a supporter is the integrity of their support. Its easy to come on here and be passionate, its easy to wear a Red Vee around and sing songs, but it isn't so easy to take the bad stuff with the good. Standing around after the game in melbourne last week and singing and singing reminded me why I love being part of it. There are people who dont care if we win or lose, but just love the club. The looks on the Storms supporters faces was priceless too!
How this has all come about is rediculous because Mark can hold up whatever banner he wants.(even if it needs some updating) If he is holding it up to prove he is the best fan (which i certainly dont think he is) then that would be wrong. If youre coming on here taking a shot at him because you think you are more commited to the cause, then you couldnt be further from the truth.
