Dragons Souffs: No Vacancy (Photos)

Went to the game yesterday, guys.

souffsdrag.jpg


I took the above sign with me to the game for a reason.
(It never worked out though!)

Here’s exactly what I wrote whilst at the ground yesterday.

1:26pm.
Souffs are pushing The Dragons in reserve grade here.
Dragons have come away 2 point winners in the end 30-28 though.

Souths had an 8 point lead with 8 to go there one stage.
They've given you a scare though!

Some little kid to my left has a Roosters flag.

The bloody sun has decided to come out here and it’s hot!

The crowd is crap but as I speak a few late stragglers are filing in.

There was some conjecture as to whether I could bring my sign into the ground at the gate.
The guy thought I’d wrote ‘No Vagina’s’ on my sign.
He signalled a lady to come over and take a gander, she took one look at it and tapped me on the shoulder and said, “yer, go in!”

Oh yer, the state of origin was played here only a few days ago.

25 minutes to kick off and there is no more than 2000 people here.

Ok, let’s stop for a minute and do this quiz.
It’s quiz time, people!
I want you to guess how much one cheese burger and a 600ml bottle of Coke Cola cost me at yesterday’s game.
I’ll clue you in; it’s no in the ranch of McDonald’s prices either.

This crowd is worse than the Parra Dragons game a few weeks back.

The Burrow over to my left only consists of a handful of people.
The Burrow needs urgent members immediately.

There’s Coal & Allied Knights supporter there.

Oh and look, a Bulldogs jersey too.

(I didn’t wear my Magpies jersey yesterday as I didn’t want to get it wet and that’s coming from a hard man of Rugby League.)

The singing Dragons opera-squad is in full voice.
And they’re also up the other end of the field today.
Last time they were down here today they’re up the other end.

20 minutes to kick off and The South’s fans are doing their leagues club a disservice by not attending.
This is why I’m here today to make this statement about their supporters!
It seems they’d rather stay home and watch it on TV than coming to the ground!
They pissed and moaned in the protests on the streets of Sydney and now that they’re back in the comp none of these slackers actually come to the game.

I made my sign on Saturday in reference to this actual subject.

In saying that there’s no Souffs here they do in fact outweigh the Dragons supporters 60-50 maybe?
It’s pretty even I guess.

Oh no it’s raining.

When’s that pregnant Sailor playing?

Here’s Merrit on the jumbo screen doing little gang signs with his finger.

All the Souffs players have a sense of humour on this big introduction screen.

Issac Luke got the biggest crowd cheer.

A kid just walked past me with a loaf of No Frills bread wearing a Corey Worthington hoody.
Everyone’s wearing those damn things today aren’t they?
But who brings bread to a game to snack on?

This kid just asked me what my sign means.
I told him it was a contradiction of terms.
He doesn’t understand.
He’s a Souffs supporter it’s understandable.

Not a bad try and kick by Souffs to begin with.
Was the pass to Hegarty forward though?

I can't hear or see a god damn thing where I'm sitting!

Oh my god! A copper just asked me what my sign meant too.
I told him I just wanted to get on TV and he laughed his arse off.
He could have apprehended me if he knew the truth behind the sign.

I’m here in protest today – I’m making a statement with my demonstration but Fox won’t put me on the jumbo-tron screen!

Good kick Soward. 6-6.

Is that Manafokowa playing dirty again? Who’s started this tussle I wonder?

Ryles knock on.
Jason Ryles god damn it.

This prick over to my left is smoking?
(He got asked to stop it in the 2nd half.)

There’s Soward going for his trade mark intercept.
He’s looking for this play.
He’s searching this out every game.
Is Soward getting better?
I know he’s little ‘n all but he seems to gradually be getting better.

The game’s just started and already it’s nearly half time.

These jumbo ass-trons haven’t put me or my sign on TV once yet!

Souffs are tired. They’re a tired pack only good for the first 20 minutes.
They’re putting all their effort into the first quarter of the games leaving themselves nothing for the rest.
They’re just trying to blow away teams early and control it from there.
They’re actually a pack of softies.
Big Kiwi’s, tattoos and intimidation it’s the weakest form of thief.
Souffs players need their alcohol.
A nice frothy beer is what’s needed I think.
Not a diet of Gatorade.

Hang on, what’s happened here? There’s 49 seconds left on the clock and half time has blown?
Is that Fox’ mistake or ANZ stadium?

Russle Crowe has his American Gangster DVD promoted all over the stadium.
He’s using the entire stadium as a promotional tool.
This is bullshit.
I have to be honest with you, I hate him and I hate his movies.
The guy’s an arrogant prick in my books.

Jason Taylor has to go I believe.
He’s playing charades only thinking he’s a coach.
It’s rather pathetic.
I went to school with this prick and he was a weasel back then.
He used to have this long green cricket type bag in school and have about 8 hangers-on walking around with him all the time like chauffers and the way he used to carry this bag made him look like he was drinking a cup of tea and his hands were delicate. He thought he was just it!
No one liked him in Ashcroft and nobody respects him now.
He also used to practise his kicks down at Stallion Park Ashcroft by himself back in the day too.
I used to watch him.
I admired his dedication to practise though.
He used to be just in a zone practising his goal kicking at that damn park.
The Souths boys need alcohol solution solved.
They’ve got no respect for Taylor.
You can see it in the dressing rooms how they’re not listening to him.

I'll do the other half of the report in a minute.
BRB.

Holy ****!

I just recieved a PM from an 'old friend' up in Newcastle (Tony) who has informed me that my F'ing picture and banner are in The Newcastle Herald newspaper today!

Holy **** it worked! Somebody took notice.

How do I get hold of that newspaper?

Holy ****, oh my god!

Are we not aloud to swear anymore on this website?

Are you part of that singing crew?

You took the bloody pommy chant, man!

"Whooo weee are,,, where weeee commmme from!"

I liked how y'all booed Crowe and Court when their dials came up on the screen.

OurRedV

So, you're part of that mob?

When I left the ground yesterday I got the ground staff to clarify what size flags or banners are acceptable and they sort of hinted that mine was too big and that only 40cm was aloud and that anything bigger has to be registered!:shock:
Are they serious?
I knew they'd pull me up at the gates.
And I didn't have a proper answer or come-back if they asked me what my sign meant.
I couldn't actually explain it to anyone as I was actually speaking-out against Souffs supporters and that very white elephant ANZ ground itself.

OurRedV
I sat down where youse normally do yesterday and you shifted up the other end this time.

There's nothing better than hearing the game is there, or that chant or roar when some prick makes a bust and the crowd just roars.
I swear I heard jet engines or thunder at the game coming from some where yesterday.
There was a constant rumble some where.

They made a mistake then mate, 'cos you only need to register your flags/banners if the poles are over 1.4m long.

Yeah we got shifted because it was an away match and they just wanted to be difficult. They thought that souths fans would fill up bays 101/102. Unlucky for them though, even with all of the "free" tickets handed out over the past week, they still couldn't get more than 13,000.

Did you enjoy our rendition of "Russell's a Wanker"? Not as good as at the shield, but it was still funny as hell. Then he walked away from the fence.

ps. wicked sign mate.

The Preacher - arrggghh look at you! Are you saying that you moved down there because I was near by this time?

So next time if I come your way are you saying you'll go back the other way?

OurRedV - I didn't hear the wanker chant but I did see toward the end there you all rush down the corner and security sprinted your way and surrounded you guys.
OurRedV - do you guys drink? Are you rowdy? Or is it just good clean fun?

I gotta be honest, I lose my compossure at the ground. I get nervous in fear that my F'n head will appear on the big screne.
You never know when the camera's on ya like George Costanza at the tennis eating ice cream.

And you never know if someone will biff ya for not seeing it as you.
The people around me didn't look too impressed with what I was saying.

Here’s the end portion to my report from yesterday at the ground.

I fear that if I get up to take a piss here at half time I’ll lose my seat.

My whole plaque demonstration isn’t going to plan!

Not once has my sign appeared on the screen!

I’m most disappointed.

It kind of defeats the purpose of bringing the sign today by not showing me in the vacant stands!

I feel dizzy too right now.

I think it’s from breathing in all those paint fumes last night whilst doing my sign.
I was up till 12am drawing it. (Can’t draw for ****.)
I had to steal 3 different white signs from around my area, one stated, “asbestos removal: Danger” the other were real estate signs I nicked with a pair of pliers from houses for sale.
Saturday I tried all day spray painting the “No Vacancy” message with black spray paint but it was too thick and the ‘vacancy’ wouldn’t fit.

In the end I stole a 4th sign and used a textor and now I’ll all dizzy at the game plus I’m tired.

Oh, wow, would you take a look at this! Souths have managed to trudge their way out onto the field for the second half.
Souths aren’t enthused!
They don’t want to be playing footy this year.
They don’t want to be out there to begin with!
This is bad.
They are a club in crisis.
Look at their body language they’re tired.

I tried to sit in better seats on the side-line at half time but the entrances are guarded by vulture Nazis!
Speaking of Nazis, this Fox coverage is completely cutting me and my demonstration sign out of this game! They’re not showing me on the big screen! Damn this.
There are two girls beneath me as well with a sign and they’re having about as much luck as I!

This kid just asked me what my sign is supposed to mean.
I waved him away.
I won’t tolerate peon brains.
I’m not in a good mood right now.
Actually, that kids mother, who just walked by me then, got on TV at half time.
I saw her!

I bet this ANZ stadium has instructed the Fox network not to put the camera on me!
It is, after all, a statement against this very ground.

Jason Taylor looks constipated sitting on the side-line.
Look like he’s trying to take a sh*t.


Souffs forwards look like a bunch of plastic Tonker Toys!
They look like, Kinder Surprise toys wrapped in chocolate!
What candy arses this game sux!
Tinker bell bitches they are!
Their supporters are as equally worthless as well.
Souths supporters remind me of Sydney Swans supporters for some reason and I hate them.

I have to be honest with you for one second….I tipped god damn Souths today, people!
Yes, I went for Souths.

theboys.jpg


It’s a shame this game isn’t as good as that one I watched on Friday night (Brs Parra)

Souths look like a bunch of Cabbage Patch kids!
Fire up ya **** arses!

I’ve spent more time watching this giant jumbo screen than the actual on-field game itself and Fox continue to ignore my message!

12 thousand plus people here my arse, oh, pull the other one fart arses!
What bullsh*t! Twelve-thousand people in attendance bullsh*t!

P.S. sitting on the train at Homebush stadium.
It started to rain the last 20 minutes.
Game turned sour.
Terrible game to be out in.

I’d consider today’s project a failure.

Fox was most anti-Brett Gaddes today!
They put the camera on Crowe and Gasnier!
What about me?

One of the Dragons supporters got evicted near The Burrow with 10 to go for shining them on.
(I thought there was a fight going on but she was smacking her bum and laughing at the Souffs fans.)

I can’t put my finger on why my sign didn’t get on TV.
It’s gotta be because I’m Irish. I’m a McGree! That’s it isn’t it?
They're anti-Irish! Bigots toward us potatoe eaters!

I did notice that certain cameras were facing only one way.
Wonder had I sat up near the other end with the Dragons section would I have got on?

I’m extremely disappointed nevertheless.

The game itself? Crap. I couldn’t hear or see a bloody thing where I was sitting.
$15 entry to sit behind the goal post? Never again.
Although?
I have to get on TV for Christs sake!
The sign has to make its debut!
I’m stating something against The NRL.

Has anyone guessed how much a cheese burger and 600ml coke cost me at the ground yesterday?

burger and drink, i'm guessing $10.60 ?

also, the army is pretty rowdy, some of us drink and some don't. There's plenty of swearing and screaming and singing! Great fun.

If I had to lay a bet on the person on this forum who is "most likely to become a serial killer", I would have to say that Brett Gaddes would get my money, although the odds are pretty short for him atm. For the record, he is also leading the "most likely to become a stalker" odds as well.

Different Kind of Rabbit - Meaning?

Were you at the game yesterday DKOR?

If your club is in crisis, and with your prior record, don't you think that a few of you should have been in attendance yesterday or was the cozy comfort of 2 O'clock Fox 2 to hard to reject?
Why bother going to the ground when I can watch it on TV in the comfort of home right?
See, channel 9 and Fox got us covered at home with our high definition digital TV's then they say, "Where'd all the crowds go? We're in trouble, no one is coming to the games! Why, why aren't they coming to the grounds?" F*cking hypocrites!
Did you see The Burrow yesterday Different Kind of Rabbit, yes or no?
What a sorry sight that was.

I made the effort to go out and I don't even go for these teams so where are you guys?

You marched, kicked, screamed and shouted at the rallies but where are you now?
Explain yourself!

Financial trouble is beckoning you to move to Gosford currently and I'm not seeing your fans helping your cause.
I don't understand.
The time is now for your club! Don't wait till next year, start now!
I starts right now! Support your club.
Your supporters are as bad as Easts!

Are you aware that I didn't even shower or shave yesterday? I haven't showered since last Wednesday.

That burger and coke come to $12!

It pisses me off that Sydney clubs are cash strapped and are entertaining extinction yet the fans don't do anything about it!
If ANZ was sold-out yesterday, filled to capacity, would that be a start for the cash crisis?
Does purchasing a simple jersey help too?
There's only so many jerseys you can have.
What exactly is needed to help the clubs, people?

Souths supporters are a pack of wombles they are!

Yeah mate, I was there. I support them no matter how bad they are going. I have my membership. I bought a centenary Jersey and a hoodie from the club just the other week. Bought one of each last year as well, and I have a stack of jerseys and bits and pieces as I try to buy something new most years. The Jersey that I bought the year they were kicked out of the comp is my favourite as I know that the money from that went straight into the cause. I am one of those fans that puts my money where my mouth is. Can't say that I get there every week, because I have a life outside of football, but whenever commitments aren't calling I go and watch.

As for the Burrow, yeah I saw them. I don't sit with them as their is a little too much foam coming from their mouths for my liking and the fact that 99% of them see Joe Williams as the answer to our clubs problems concerns me as well. However, if you haven't showered for a couple of days, you could have sat with them and probably fit right in. As with every club, we have our rogue lunatic element and they are it for Souths.

As for your question about selling out Telstra and this benefitting the club. I am sure that as part of the 10 year deal that we have with the stadium, it doesn't matter if the stadium is full or empty, the club gets the same amount of dollars in revenue (approx. $1mill / year). This, I am told is the number 1 reason we signed there in the first place and the reason why a number of other clubs play home games there. Besides, the current club issue isn't stemming from revenue, it is from expenditure. We have spent too much in the last couple of years and we need to stem that flow. So technically, Brett, you are incorrect in your assesment on all counts.

Anyway, this is not the Rabbits forum so I should get out of here before the St's supporters get jack of me. Good win yesterday boys. Enjoy it now because we will be competitive again in the near future. Oh and by the way, your Toyota Cup team is huge! They should go very close to winning the comp. We would have got you though yesterday had we controlled the ball a little better toward the back end of the game.

I can't stand these grubs. Give Bunnie fans a bad nbame.

We're all a little bit crazy St Brett, but there has to be something to said for those who are willing to follow through.

If nothing else, you're unique... and a proud westie who isn't afraid to fly the flag.

Gday St Brett. Mate i am an Ashcroft boy also though about 6 years younger then J.T. But i still remember the hype with him running around down at Stanwell Park Oval (Home of the Stallions) kicking footys, etc with my mate Chooza's ( Luke Holmes) older brothers from memory plus like you said, some hanger-on'rs. I remember he was a pesky little ball boy for my older brother (Legs Wilesmith) and the rest of the Ashcroft High footy side who dominated schoolboy footy in the 80's. I remember vividly some of his come-uppances at several of the partys held at our Parsons St home which i will not go into obviously due to the scrutiny of the forum and its possible implications. I almost followed his footsteps through the schoolboy ranks as i too ended up at St Gregorys high school pursuing a footy career. Having one Ashcroft boy at St Gregs, let alone 2, was a bit hazardous to some of the little preppy boys who went there, but i must say some of the feedback from the Brothers who taught there, and also Mr (Daniel) Anderson as well as Pete Mullholland, were not too kind to one JT.
Hey atleast he didnt end up like another boy from Ashcroft, Tony Cossatto, and swallow his tongue in his first grade debut! Anyone remember that? Was playing for Parra in about 1987 at Parra Stadium...

I make a point of sitting on the opposite side of the Stadium to them. Most of them are a bunch of Mongs that are calling for Joe Williams to be brought back into the fold at Souths as a potential saviour! You will never meet a nicer bloke than Joe, but he would have trouble steering an under 9's team around the park. The Burrow do serve a purpose though, they buy memberships and turn up and buty merchandise as well so at least they do bring one positive thing to the club. When talking to them on forums, you could swear they watch an entirely different game to the rest of us, but at least they show up.
