To the 7,356,295 West-Tigers supporters that suddenly evolved around the end of Sept.'05, How many of you are going to be singing the praises of "your" team if you lose 3 in a row.
I work it out that there are 5,000 true Magpies, 7500 fair dinkum Tigers, SO, to the other 1,343,795 "glory hunters", get ready for a new season, and maybe even a new side to follow, if the Tigers dont live up to your boastfull aspirations.

I think the tigers will be fine this year. There aim is to make the top 8 at finals time as they did last year and look how things turned out, it was a bonus for them.
So as long as they make the finals I think they will be fine, regardless of losing 3 in a row. I doubt this will happen anyway!

Why post that on here? You're more likely to find the genuine fans on this website. You just sound spiteful.

The Preacher, as much as I agree, you won't find too many bandwagoners for them on here. The ones on here are usually the passionate, never waiver type.

Only 9 hours to kickoff

You mean like the bloke that owns two pubs in Leichhardt any spends all night copulating glamours and has a trained monkey to throw people out of the pubs one-handed and he hadn't made a post 'til after the GF.
Yep, genuine fan that one.
My father has been following Wests - Wests Tigers for 70 years and he put the figure for true maggies at 4,000, and he's not spiteful. O
