Raider Ultra said:Mate, we supported the Raiders till the final whistle.
so did we while we were sitting behind the posts! I thought the general volume of our effort yesterday was quite good. Obviously things died down a little once the team was getting hammered but we were all up cheering and screaming when Robbo and Boogs scored their late tries.
Secondly, with our big flags and banners it is difficult to move once we're in a particular spot. We had two banners taped up on the wall under the scoreboard, if we had moved and left them they would have been goooooone in a flash, as is what happened when some roosters skank tried to rip down the traitor banner. PLus the area you chose to sit was quite populated, making it difficult with big flags and a drum etc. We need essentially an empty bay to occupy.
Finally, while you guys were singing all day your visibility is low. Combining forces means that the singing is louder and that is becomes even more impressive when the flags/banners/streamers/paper goes up into the air and the drum and horn start going off. With all the cacophany of colour that we have, the SGB was always going to be noticeable yesterday. And once again, the players (including a very upset Schif) and 'Kel' and Simon Hawkins thanked us for our support.
