Rnd 1: a huge effort on the hill

[jed]

Not going to try to remember everyone there, but a huge thanks to everyone who was cheering on the hill, also good to see a few new ones come over and introduce yourselves.

Apparently we were able to be heard at times on TV, for such a (relatively) small contingent, I think we made ourselves noticed.

 

[Raider Ultra]

Yep, good work lads, need to keep it up for the Noughts

 

[Leethal]

Yeah,the RA were on Telly a few times and you could here the "Raiders" chant a few times as well. Top effort. Cuts me that I wasn't there..........

Maybe I'm a jinx and should stay away from all away games.

 

[greeneyed]

My "jinxed" Raiders flag has lost its jinx.

Had a fantastic time chanting with all the other Raiders fans on the hill.

 

[whatwhat]

Great visual all night to boys and girls. The 'President Clinton scores again' will never get old, Lol. Could also hear Raiders chants through the night..

 

[Steven Gerrard]

Of course my banner couldn't get old Did they make any comments tonight about that banner?

 

[whatwhat]

I dont think they did, but i could be wrong, they had it on the screen for a good second or two after the last conversion i believe..

 

[Shaydz]

The second time the had the President Clinton scores again banner on the screen they mentioned it.

Something along the lines of President Clinton scores again according to that banner.

Great to see.

First time I've sat with Army ... a real buzz .... great stuff guys

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

raiders fans r awesome

They did. They said they can't belive how hideously ugly the bloke holding the banner was. They gave Canberra the sympathy vote after seeing the poor bugger holding that banner.;-) :shock:

 

[Raider_69]

:lol:
gutted i couldnt be there but will make up for it next week against the naughts!

GUYS...

It was great to meet a lot of new people like Jed has indicated.

The huge contingent of the Raiders Army apologies that they could not make it.

I think everyone will agree that it was fantastic to get 20-30+ at the first game and it is a tribute to you all.

I would like to add that just like the 1st game for the side we the Army had our first outing and for myself you forget a lot of chants & songs.

Next week at the Knights we will fire!!! We have around 80+ for Bay 72 and are looking at the same for the Roosters.

I think last night especially for blokes like myself we have now found a common ground - SUPPORTING THE RAIDERS AS ONE. We all need to turn up and sing our hearts out for the lads.

PLEASE...

Against the Knights and the Roosters turn up with as many mates as possible, bring cut up newspaper (the knights game we want around 800+ papers cut up) and your singing voices.

I’m really looking for a sensational turn out, we all agree there is plenty of talent on the park to sing for.

After the game Tommo and Germ thanked the Raiders Army behind the sheds and said that they could hear us and that it is really appreciated and fires them up.

SO LETS GET INTO IT BECAUSE.

EVERYWHERE WE GO....

Speaking of that Roosters game, are you lot sitting in the GA area by any chance?

Since it isn't clashign with any Storm game, I'm planning on making another trip along with you guys - of course, that is dependant upon whether or not I reah the Australian Poker League Finals which are held that day in Sydney, and if I do and get knocked out early, can still make it there. Already guarenteed a place in the semi's, just gotta come top 5. If not, I'll be there again. 2 weeks in a row at Aussie Stadium, I sure hope it's watching 2 losses for the Roosters.

 

[SOULS 04]

was a great win... and a great start to 06..... massive voices will be required in canberra.

so everyone hook in and sing loud.

 

[jed]

If all goes to plan, we'll be sitting on the sideline. Last year we were in Bay 34 I think, we'll try to get there again.

 

[thickos]

Great turnout, great effort, great night.

We had plenty more than 20-30 as well, if you include all the Raiders fans on the periphery sitting in front of us etc it was well over 100.

 

[peter_raiders]

if everyone sat together it would of been a lot better.

 

[ak47]

was behind yas by 5m.

brilliant stuff guys

the good thing about the raiders army is that they sit in quality spots......never out of place and right in amongst the action

i've seen some armys sit behind the goal posts -
dragons for example <-----IDIOTS
