Sorry i know im in the wrong forum but i just had to comment.
I'm sure you did
I was one fan that came to the Dragons vs Eels game last year in the finals but didn't attend on Friday. This is only because all my friends that support dragons 'weren't bothered' to go because according to them, it would rain. I can't go on my own so obviously i had no choice but to watch it at a bar instead. I do regret not going because i think its really important to be there for your team regardless of whether they're winning or losing.
But you rely on your friends to go to the game with you? Yep, sounds like a heap of regret there...
Anyway just to add, you call us bandwagon supporters? What you dont realise, is that every team has bandwagon supporters. You guys are just lucky that your team is so consistent ( minus finals time) and so your supporters do make the trek to see them every week because they are always winning. So rather than gloating about something that is pretty much guaranteed, how about you spend more time discussing your own team. There are many parra fans that are not bandwagon supporters.
Yes, every team does have bandwagon supporters. The Dragons haven't always been consistent, only really over the last 18 months have they been blessed with good form. But even after the disastrous finish of 2009, the fans are still there in the same number. Even after they struggled through 2007 and 2008, the fans are still there. The Dragon Army turns up no matter where - hell I even followed them in their great numbers to MELBOURNE last week, can Parramatta's supposedly loyal fanbase say the same?
In 2004 EVERYONE was suddenly supporting the bulldogs, and in 2005 everyone was suddenly supporting the Tigers. At a bulldogs vs eels game THIS YEAR i heard a girl shout WHY ISNT HAZEM KICKING, and last year another girl shouts WHERE IS MASON?. You spend all this time labelling us as bandwagon supporters, but its prominent in every team so stop overusing the word because as someone above me said, WE DONT CARE. I am a true fan. I go to most games that i can and if i have someone to go with me ( as a female it does get a bit dangerous to attend on your own).
:lol: I'm sure you heard those things :thumb
Bottom line, don't not attend a game and then come and defend yourself for it while claiming you're a diehard fan in the same breath.
Dangerous to attend on your own? Myth.
Anyway i know this has turned into a rant but congrats on Friday, and talk about the win and not the opposition fans.
YOUR fans came in here and started beating their drum - Poupou Escobar and Y2Eel couldn't help themselves.
As Kiki said, you have plenty to worry about in your own backyard. Take a walk.
