South Sydney Story

ABC Doco tonight, good stuff.

Was amazing to see the scenes again after they were kicked out . Agree with that old lady's thoughts on Murdoch the scum who tried to kill our game.

 

[Hurriflatch]

well it was part 1 of 6 anyway.

btw

George who??

Vision of PHaC walking down stairs in his house I assume, the painting on the stairway landing looked intentionally blurred, similar to the way they sort of pixelate crims faces on the news....hot art? LOL

As a Souths fan it brought back some memories. I was at the rally and the vote and both were emotional days. I also remember the moment I found out we were kicked out (I'll admit I cried) and the elation and tears of joy that I had when we got back in.

I remember my mum waking me up, and telling me "Souths are back!"

And if you guys wanna know who i went for in the mean time, it was the




Dragons :O

A true Souths fan would rather gas themselves than follow Saints...

I followed them too for some strange reason...never knew why. Probably because I was 10 and needed a team to support.

Then when we came back, I gave the very scant Dragons merchandise to my friend who went for the Dragons and went back to wishing them nothing but failure

I didn't attend a game and didn't support a team. I watched some games on TV but not many. The game was almost lost on me. But I will say something...It's time to get rid of those We're Back stickers...

 

[Southernsaint]

Ha, there's a peeling, fading "We're Back" sticker on my dear Grandma's old car...

Honestly I will give her some replacements for free. Honestly can someone tell me is it illegal t take off ones bumper sticker sayiong we're back and replacing it with a more modernised sticker...I don't know why I don't like them maybe because they are really tacky and lame.

 

[brooksy19]

Still see plenty of Bears stickers around the coast.

 

[Southernsaint]

I think people see it as a "badge of honour", like an old Smiths Crisps or Northwest Airlines jumper...

 

[Ziggy the God]

They just finished the webcast on Souths.com.au with HaC answering questions from fans.

For other teams fans you may be interested that he said that the documentary and other Souths promotions may be looked at by others with some disdain, but League needs to increase its profile so that we get more supporters, hopefully for us, but if not then any other club.

It is an interesting story which I will be watching, I didn't know the difficulties Souths were going through during the Piggins era. I just thought they were a b-grade side.

When Gould and co. had lined up 2 internationals to play for us in 2002, when informed they would want 250000-300000 a season, Piggins replied "They should want to play for Souths, we aren't paying them that much".

[Tom Ace]

I hope everyone was well dressed

Best half hour of comedy since Seinfeld finished.

Disappointed Ian Roberts didn't take his shirt off?

i enjoyed it. the first episode of the doco was really well constructed - it pulled all the right strings, well edited and the story itself is very compelling. I hope they can maintain the standard throughout the course of the next 5 weeks.
