The so called rally against manly

[parra-all-the-way]

Did this rally end up happening??? was wondering how many people showed etc...

 

[Eelementary]

I have no idea.

Everyone I've spoken to has no idea.

It just seems like a media beat-up.

 

[The Colonel]

There were two people handing out "leaflets" that were rather ill-informed. They didn't last too long.

 

[Freak]

If anything it caused a backlash.

1 sign in the east terrace in particular was extremely supportive of the club win lose or draw.

Great to see!!

 

[Eelementary]

THAT was the protest?

Leaflets which wouldbe thrown away anyway?

Jees.

We don't need that sort of thing right now.

UP THE EELS!!!

And when I mean Eels, I mean EVERYONE involved with them.

The leaflet I saw was basically encouraging people to join the club.

Maybe it was all a masterfull membership drive from fitzy ;-)

I liked the banner in the East Terrace. All of us in the west terrace were in high spirits and very supportive aswell. Congratulated big Mal Kaufusi and Foi Foi on great games.

 

[The Colonel]

What was the banner?

 

[fish eel]

Something along the lines of
eels fans for life
win,lose or draw

Was right on half way, in the sightlines of the players as the were taking the field

 

[The Engineers Room]

Correct. Straight across from me.

 

[Freak]

We need more signs!
Passionate ones that mean something like this one.
I hope it is there again on Saturday.

The boys thrive on that support at no price mentality!!

 

[half]

hahaha signs are for wrestling and possibly gladiator fans

this media beat-up did nothing but embarrass us. they should be ashamed of their bogusness

I wish to have my say about some of the posts above me.

First of all, 2 weeks ago, it was all out mutiny. 2 wins, and all of a sudden it is death to all infidels.

Whilst i agree we should support the team, and i for one, am extremely happy with the form the team is in. But we should not discourage people from expressing a different idea. I for one, at the start of the year would not have been happy with our current position on the table. There are many and varied reasons for the current situation we are in, but one thing is for certain, things could be a lot better.

Go the Eels.

Mate we had it up at Newcastle too, pity FOX wanted to splash my head across the screen rather than the sign :lol:

Should have guessed it was your work you mad South American!! ;-)

I love it!!

*nods* That is very true. I mean I've had the same 3 big banners for about 2 seasons now but I do have a few new much smaller ones (just without poles due to a lack of sewing skills/machine ) But yeah... good to see more banners around too! MORE SIGNS, people! Yeah! ;-)

dont worry about the signs.. fill out parra stadium on sat night... and parra will score 60 points... they feed of the crowd..

and it will be a big difference for the qld players coming from a packed qld joint all supporting them to a hostile parra one...

 

[JessEel]

if someone had tried to give me a leaflet as i walked into the game i would have.. oh wait... uhoh, i get to the game at kickoff, JERSEY FLEGG kickoff, noone was there protesting before the flegg game so they could get inside and watch THEM! Even if i had wanted to join their rally i wouldn't have been able to, cos i'd be halfway through my second game of the day!!

real fans aren't trying to change their team, they accept it, they love them anyway, and they show their support.

 

[bartman]

Nice use of underlining there Jess, to make your point

 

[JessEel]

damn right!
