Ahhhh I love it. Funded thousands of dollars? I must be missing something. Clevo? Duff? Know anything about thousands of dollars?
I am Burrow member, been there from day one. Absolutley love the mates I have made from the Burrow, and love sining my heart out to support Souths if the opposition hear me or not. I mean you have Joe Blow at the other end of the ground yelling out to the ref and the players every 5 seconds for a bad call or to lift their game, but they don't even know the guy is in the ground. Yet he still goes home without a voice knowing he was vocally and passionatley supporting his team. Thats what the Burrow do but in a group.
We are fans like everyone else in this forum who go to experience our team play the way we like most, thats by standing, singing and cheering our hearts out. We have songs we sing in jest to our oppositions and we have heard many back... it's f***ing fantastic!
I have to say I am pretty sure most of the Burrow have their teeth! We are normal everyday fans who make the most of a footy match, following the team we love most. I am sure you can all relate to that. I could say the Cowboys are all bare feet farmers, the roosters are all latee sipping gays, the dogs are all trouble making jerks, but I don't believe that.
Without getting personal, which sadly happens in forums, Daithi O'Conaill I don't know where you get your information but that source is a GIANT dramatisation. The club help us because they like the support we give. I would hope the chook pen and the doggies army (and the others) would have their club back them for the support they show. But 'thousands of dollars funding' is way over the top.
We have membership in the Burrow which is fantastic. Every member puts their $10 in to see the colour of the burrow grow. We have contacts of members to organise away trips (ther Burrow have missed only one big away trip in since we have been back, this being one of the NZ matches) and make sure we get as many fans to the matches as possible. If they don't want to join, they can still sit with us and join in til their hearts content. But I have to say we are normal fans, who love our team who will always have rivaly with others... it's sport, it's the way it is.
I can not wait til the SCG match. I love the songs the Burrow and the St george Illawarra army sing at eachother... it creates an atmosphere that we don't see very often in league. Bring it on I say!
Good luck to you all..... GO THE MIGHTY RABBITOHS!
