Pathetic Manly Fans

Its allways a tough time being a manly fan, and after the last coupe of weeks, not surprising for a manly fan to be a little defensive.
I do get where you were coming from though, the dig at canberra was a lttle rediculious

Maybe you should look at why your club is hated so much. It's because of the massive ego the club has from top to bottom level. It starts from the CEO, to the coach, to the supporters. If that ego wasn't there then there would be no hatred and Manly fans wouldn't have to get defensive and find it tough in the first place.

yes it has

Manly don't draw crowds and their games don't rate highly

they are hardly supported

they have maybe 5 local juniors in the whole NRL too

they should be punted and bring in the CC Bears. at least they offer something

Manly had a average home crowd this year in the top half of the ladder compared to all other side and were in front of your parramatta mob, so your punt them because they have no fans arguent looks a little thin.

14K last night was pathetic, but given the 8.30 timeslot and the weather there are some outside influences.
But hey you keep hating and we will keep winning and we can both be happy!

+1

Clearly, there are some teams in Sydney with very low support and there comes a point where you have to look at the greater good. The Bears as a North Sydney/Central Coast franchise offers more to the game than niche Manly do.

There is probably 1-2 too many Sydney teams in terms of revenue/exposure/sustainability currently. Apparently Manly are in financial trouble too.

Cut losses, move to Sunshine Coast, then expand with Perth and Gosford.

AS a fan i would love to see some of our officials shut up some times, because they do make the whole place seem like whingers.
But the meda in sydney loves to report anything remotely manly as a negative spin to stir up the extremists and so many just jump in head first.
People like Max Delemege saved our club, but really didn't give us a good image with the way he carried on.
ANYWAY...
On a side note it is a little funny to call the manly CEO arrogant, given you support Parra and Fitzgerrald was the perfect example of arrogance.

No need to take your frustration with your own side out on manly, we are going just fine thanks.

1 of the higher Sydney home ground averages this year
Best performing sydney side this year
Plenty of fantastic young players in our side
Internationally recognised Major sponsor.
Private ownership so financal future is secure.
But hey we have to play out of a shit hole... we were undefeated there...

But you continue listen to the dribble from the DT, and continue to use your hatred of manly to make you feel better for your own short comings....

I fail to see how manly being undefeated there helps the idea that brooky isnt a shit hole.

It is a shit hole no arguements, but our players love playing there and were undefeated there this year.
Doesn't change the arguement that it is a shit hole, if you don't like it get on the bandwagon and help get the ground upgraded, if your hatred gets in the way then don't whinge next time you have to go there.
