Macca said:I grew up in a house of Souths Supporters.
My old man and 2 older brothers wouldn't let me go for anyone else. I always liked the Sharks, being my local side but if anyone asked me, I told them I was a Souths supporter, even though I used to sneak out to Shark Park as much as possible.
In 99 I followed Souths to almost every game. Average home crowd was around 5000 that year. They were booted out because "the faithful" weren't showing up. 800000 of these people managed to march up George St but only 5000 could make to home games? That was it for me.
I took this as an opportunity to finally make the change I had always wanted to. I bought season seats and even converted my Dad over. I am now a very proud Sharks fan and if they were ever to leave the comp I'd just about give up.
So you dumped your club for social reasons? Only 5000 people to hold your hand?
