I went to the '76 GF (as a 12 yo), the ' 77 GF and replay (let off school early to attend), and the '81, '82, '83 and '86 Grand Final wins. I've been blessed in my lifetime.
Those 80's years were the greatest Eels supporting years of my life. We were the most exciting attacking team in those years that I have ever seen.
I also went to all GF's between 1999 - 2018, with RL supporting mates of mine from NZ who came out every year for a road trip. They were also fun times.
2001 and 2009 killed me. I was also at every semi-final we played within these years. 2005 also killed me.
Yet, I'm still here, and am going to the game on Sunday thanks to
@emjaycee and his generosity.
I'm getting older and time is running out to see another Premiership win, so my plans are to make the very most of the day.
I'm planning on soaking up as much of the day as possible, so I'll be doing a bit of travelling via public transport and visiting a few venues before heading to the stadium and catching up with friends to watch the game.
It's been 13 years since all we Eels fans have felt like this. It's an amazingly, exciting feeling. Tbh, I'm not sure it has still sunk in tbh. My daughter is so excited.
Last weekend, when it was decided that we were playing Penrith, I thought we would be no chance.
As the week has progressed, I'm not so sure.
All the pressure is on the favorites.
