dubious fans

[croydon Dog food]

I have a number of concerns going into this Friday's bumper clash with the Chocolates out at our spiritual home Telstra Dome. My first concern is that we are due another stinking loss to these clowns, owing to our poor strikerate against the men from the foot of the mountains. Royce Simmons would be orchestrating the loss, I have no doubt, and it worries me where the minister of defence will be placing his dog chewed witches hats at Concord this week. Beware, he loves Tab World and the $7.00 Panthers 13+ is in his sights!

Secondly, I have only attended one game this season. I'm accustomed to my $2.50 lunch on a Friday Afternoon at the Ashfield RSL and having to fork out $13.50 for a Hot Dog and a Bourbon+Coke at Telstra Dome is beyond the money that the good lord provides. Compounding this misery would be the sight of John Morris show and go 6 times, in spite of his 4 man overlap. It would be enough to make Ben Duckworth seem like a viable option.

Thirdly, Friday night gives Ronald Mcdonald and Coach Sheens another chance to cast their eagle eye over the back rowers and 32 year old props in Penrith reserve grade as targets to replace Hodgson and Whaturia for 2008.

However, my main concern lies elsewhere. In August 2005 a dubious group of fans called the WTF army emerged from the classrooms of Orange Grove Public School. While I bear no ill-feeling towards these aged crayon-wielding, bedsheeted fans, I do have one complaint about the composition of the army.

I have been informed that a number of the members are lorry drivers that passed many seasons before 2005, perched on the grassy knoll at Penrith park. When we got the cash 25-24, out at Sizzlers Stadium earlier in the year I noticed a number of supposed WTF hedging their bets and contemplating taking out their 1967 retros in case the chocolates stormed home with the bacon.

Beware of these fans! They will request the $4 special entry to Telstra as forum members of both clubs. They will be waving their Fitzy flags, but secretly willing on Frank Puletua. They will be wearing their Tigers shorts in public, although at home in the shed they have a pair of the old Mark Geyer shoulder pads from $2.99 at target. When theses lorry drivers head back out west on Friday night they wil be happy either way, although their heart will always lie with the chocolate soldiers.

They are very dubious fans.

Love your work Eddie

Wasnt me lad.

I havent had any involvement with the great man since showing him the ropes in mid 2005. He brushed all his lowly paid entourage of consultants/advisors long ago now such was his inflated ego. Although I think I might have to have a quick word to the old bludger about his measely one appearance this season and overall lack of posting/enthusiasum.

Hahahaha. He is always good for a chuckle and has the tigers dear to heart.
I am stunned he didn't mention a particular WTF member who was allowed to grace the hallowed Leichhardt turf before the Souths game last year. Perhaps she wanted to exorcise the demons of that last round loss in 1989 when Benny chipped and chased, regathered, dummied to no one (the nearest support player was at the Iron Cove Bridge) and Neil Baker put up his hands to catch a pass that was never going to be thrown. The Tigers went on to win 33-6, then belted Penriff again in the semi a week later. Perhaps she, like Royce, Scott Sattler, Ben Reynolds et al are indeed plants by the choccy soldiers to make up for 1989 (and the playoff belting in 1988) when Matt Goodwin got Blocker sent off and he missed the grand final

And CDF I can confirm that Orange Grove is now off limits to the WTF. I think the WTF's love of fast food has them at odds with the policy of catering to the hippies, greenies, do gooders, PC brigade and basket weavers that attend the joint every Saturday morning to buy their organic onions in the belief they are helping the environment. These hippies fail to take into consideration the carbon emissions from their 1981 200B .

In actual fact, around Orange Grove most Saturday mornings i can confirm that Licence to Thrill Wests Tigers 2005 and 2006 bumper stickers have been replaced by stickers along the lines of Drop the Debt, Not Happy John, Reconciliation Day.
