But hope you enjoy Bruce, much better than Campbelltown...

Bootiful.:lol: :lol:
At least our showers have hot water, and it least you can actually sit in the stands at Bruce without being in fear of it colapsing.

Fire up bitch!

Sorry carried away. May have happened when I read something positive about Gafa. A big game tomorrow, even bigger if we get the points. Keep Mogg away from Marshall and we will be halfway there!

Unfortunately your team is so boring that there is never anyone in the concrete monstrosity.

When's the last time you blokes got 23k at Concrete Park????

No use having all that space if no one goes......:lol: :lol:

However we must have got just enough support to secure our own identity. See, history says that my side didn't have to merge. You should get more fans than us, after all you not only have the fans from 2 çlubs' to assist you, you've also live in a city with over 4 million people.

Now Simon, it is a sunny day in Crumbletown, get outside, get some sun and check if your car is still there.

Keep getting 10k crowds and you'll have to merge, I hear Newtown are looking for partner #5. ;-)

And 4 million divided amongst 9 teams is about 450k, Canberra's population is about 320k.

You average 12,700 we average 18,200.

Stop talking crap.

Just stick to wondering how your halves are going to stop our halves...

Your right Simon, that stuff does exist in our town. If it makes your visit more appealing then obviously you are arguing for Canberra. You also failed to mention that this town has about 1% of the crime Sydney does and people here earn more per head than anywhere else. Twit.

I can't believe your first hook, line and sinker was having a shot at our ground. Canberra stadium is one of the best grounds to watch footy from, has all the major facilities required and like the other top stadiums in the world is in line with safety and comfort standards by being an all seater. The Tigpies could only dream of moving away from their home/s to that kind of ground.......hang on, that happened already with Telstra.

Damn, I don't want to get into a slanging match with you EA, I tend to like you as a poster and generally think you are piss funny. What I will politely inform you is that we have close to 10 licenced clubs keeping us safe from harm and in the words of our former Marketing Manager "Crowd attendance means nothing to us". While I disagree with him wholeheartedly for various reasons, you see the point.

Just a few points on crowds though, I think it is fair to say that Canberra is out of the way for most fans. You might average 18 000 but don't forget that if you play another Sydney team it is easier for the away fans to attend. It is a lot easier for a Dogs fan to go to Telstra to watch their side play the Tigers than travel 3 hours each way to Canberra. I would take 13 000 in a 26 000 seater stadium than 18 000 in an 80 000+ seater stadium.

I would have thought that with so little actually going on in Canberra that you would be getting 20k a game,especially in that great stadium of yours.

But the facts are that you have a boring side that wont make the eight,and you can get a hit down the road for 20 bucks that will give you a much bigger buzz than watching the Raiders play.

Simple really.

Your talking a lot of trash for someone who supports a team that hasn't made the finals while the 'boring' team has made it on a consistant basis. Even if you made it this year and we missed out we would still have the high ground to argue on Knucklehead.

I'm off to play sport now. Enjoy your day of trolling a Raiders forum from the comfort of your Dads study, while the rest of us actually do something useful. Why don't you attempt to use that Hoola Hoop or BMX that your parents got you for Christmas?

I can only say that its good to see that the enmity between the two clubs' supporters is still there.

In fact, it has escalated to such a point that it has eclipsed the passion of Canberra's other great rivalries with the Melbourne Storm and Adelaide Rams.

I also want to send a shout out to my little dwarves in the Canberra Army: Hulkberry Finn, Raider person 60 and Big Bad Ben Meyer Fan. He's easily my favourite, I like to think of him as dopey.

Its a shame that out of my plethora of fans on this forum I can't number any Canberra supporters in that group.

Well good luck to your boys.....I don't fear the boss I fear Adamson and Miller.
