To elaborate, I was there at just about every home game, played League in the Illawarra comp, and still coach in that comp. I am a Steelers club member, i was there watching the Dragons tonight...is that what you were inquiring about?
I don't care who someone supports, but if they prove my point i will naturally highlight it. Spend some time down here, you will see what i am talking about is right. If i use the friends i am still in contact with from school and footy as an example, only a couple of them support the Dragons. I know many more Dragons supporters now from other travels throughout my life, but a lot of people down here stopped supporting the local side when this happened and have continued to support other teams.
All i can report is my dealings through a fairly large cross-sectional area that i come across through coaching etc. You can deny it all you like but that is what i have witnessed.
Yet again...i repeat my original argument that the Illawarra style of jersey is very helpful in bringing people back to the fore.
