How many have been a supporter of the Warriors since day 1?

[douglasallen91]

transferred my support from the bulldogs from day 1.

hey monie don't put on joe vagana. #-o

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Supporter since before day 1 (basically from the moment it was announced we were in the ARL).
Didn't start attending games until I moved to Auckland a few years later though.

 

[Marduk]

I was an Auckland Warriors fan for their first season. I still habe the old DB Bitter jersey laying around somewhere. Alexander, Blake & Ngamu were my favourite players.

At the end of the 1st season, I saw the light and became a Cronulla supporter and that's the way it's remained.

the light must be one of those no brand types. its not very bright.

When they started playing that razzle dazzle rugby league , when they finished 8th in the nrl , think it was 2001 :?:

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Proud to say I was there for the first game, aged 9. I was also there on my 10th birthday when we "beat" Wests #-o Considering I was only a little kid, I think I've done pretty well to be a genuine Warriors fan this entire time. My interest has peaked and waned over the years but I have ALWAYS been a Warriors fan.

Ahh yes that great day!

Started early in Christchurch, myself and 2 mates had a few mainland brews then off to the airport.... now there was some Air New Zealand pilots strike, and air NZ had "shipped" in some half pie pilots from somewhere! Anyway it took 3 attempts to land the f#$king plane!

So we are running late, myself and 2 other mates decided to trust the cab driver to take our luggage to our hotel in the city as there was no way we could make the game on time! so he drop us off on a cnr near the stadium.......

The whole game was over in a flash we lost but what a great start!!! What a great night!! Oh it also helped that we knew Logan Edwards he got us into the players/sponsors after match function!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah warriors till I die!!!!

When the warriors really started playing RUGBY LEAGUE , was when i started supporting them :shock:

so you are one of those bandwagon supporters who jumped on board in 2002

Who cares if people jump on the band wagon...the more people support Rugby League in this Country the better!!

Plus NZ is a band wagon country...as soon as a team goes crap everyone stops going to the games!!

I hope for one the Warriors do well so more people watch, play and get into the game some how some way!

It will filter its way through the Bartercard Cup to junior teams etc etc!!

I was a Penrith Boy since 91...but it wasent till 97 when i went to my first Warriors game against the Panthers (Super League Warriors Won, Goreden Falcon sent off) and i got pelted with bottles for supporting another team...thats when I became a Warriors fan for ever!! Its a matter of us vs them...and always will be!

How ever I still have a few holes in my wall from last years game...those two Golden point losses still hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Supported the warriors p[revious to day 1 - no not Mt wellington!

I was always a floating supporter going for teams that featured New Zealanders. I first supported the Sorensens (Kurt and Dane) at Cronulla before moving onto Balmain with Olsen Filipania and Norths where Clayton Friend,Olsen, Fred Ah Koui and Mark Graham were. Also jumped on the Maori Warringah bandwagon as Lowie, the late Adrian Shel;ford, Joe Ropati, Darrell Williams, Iros and ridgey were playing. liked the Green machine too!
Thank god the Warriors did make it as I seemed to spread my support to a lot of teams. Using the exercise now would be hard as there are a lot of Kiwis involved in the NRL - IN JUST ABOUT EVERY CLUB!

 

[Dr Crane]

Nope.

I was only 7 in 1995.

why is that a barrier to not support the warriors...i was playing and supporting league when i was 7

 

[Martli]

I was 7 too and I collected league cards, but didn't watch it hahaha. I had Steven Kerney, Hitro Okisini and Tea Ropati from the warriors with some lesser name players form other clubs , aswell Darryel Hallagan, James Leuleui and various others (I had some kiwis cards aswell as ARL ones). Haha I used to trade them with my mate aswell, we each had about 10 cards each .
