Your Involvement

[oval]

Do you go to games, and which games do you go to? Maybe you go to every game, or just the big games? Personally, unless it's absolutely impossible to go, I will be at Brookvale. Like many Manly fans I do not travel as much as I probably should...

Or do you stay home and watch every single game on TV? I have mates who prefer to stay home and watch TV so they can closely examine the action and listen to the commentary and analysis. I prefer live games cos I can soak up the atmosphere, have a yell and release a little tension.

Maybe you don’t have foxtel so head to the pub?

Maybe you sit in front of the TV with one eye on the Front Row Forum, fingers at the ready?

Or do you listen on the radio while supping a glass of tasty port (as my pop does)?

 

[HowHigh]

I go to every game down here (unless something stops me). Don't have a license but if any mates are driving up to syd for a game i'll go to that too.
For Dragons games f I'm not at the game I'd rather watch it at a house not a leagues club because most times you can't get to watch it properly (bad sound and seating)..........if its just other teams I don't mind a leagues club.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Mine is a complete combination of all the above.

Having a young family, making it to the footy is not an easy proposition, but I've been to three games at AAMI Park this year. I took my one-year-old to her first game, of which I am quite proud.

Otherwise I do it all. Stay up till 4am on a Saturday morning watching the two games, head to the local pub where they accomodate my taste in footy, watch on illegal streams, go to my mates place to watch on Foxtel. Also been to a few of the League of our Own venues in Melbourne, they do a top job.

Sunday arvos are religiously spent streaming Grandstand for all the updates and opinion.

If it wasn't for the dodgy weather I'd be going to more VRL games (the local team is only a ten minute walk away).

 

[Billythekid]

I'm a storm fan living in Newcastle. I get along to all the knights home games if i can (unless they clash with a storm game). I also try and get down to any games on the CC.

The rest of the games i watch on tv with friends. I sometimes skip the 2nd Friday and Sunday games as i find the huge ad breaks painful.

Besides that i also play rugby league for a local club.

 

[Red Bear]

Well this year
5xNorth Sydney matches (four of them at North Sydney, once at Henson Park)
Went to Tigers vs Souths, Anzac match, Tigers Storm at Leichhardt, Souths vs Easts at ANZ, St Geroge Illa vs Newcastle at WIN

Been streaming alot of games of late and watching channel 9 games, although watching TV games can depend on who is playing ie game which involve two of Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, Gold Coast, North Qld I dont really watch, the teams do not interest me at all.

I like ABC coverage on the radio the best, but it doesnt line up with vision unfortunately, and I cant stand the Qld commentators (especially north qld).

 

[some11]

Been a Broncos season member for 4 years now, go to every single game, Origin and finals.

 

[simmo1]

Past couple of years I've gone to about 4 or 5 Tigers games, and maybe the odd non-Tigers game.

Been lazy this year and only gone to SOO:2. Rain, sell-outs and ceebz-ness have prevented me from going to about half a dozen games I actually was going to go to.

 

[LESStar58]

Storm member so I go to all home games unless I have to ref on Sunday or can't make it in time from my appointments for 530 Saturday games. Fir Origin and Tests I prefer to stay home with a six pack and a burger or steak sandwich. If we have an away final and those merkins at Channel Nine won't accomodate I go to a pub and watch with League of Our Own. I watch the All Stars with LOOO at the Limerick in South Melbourne. Went to the casino to watch the Parra game at The Pub. Don't like the casino as a rule but if I can watch footy then I will go anywhere. Live in the inner northern suburbs so I don't have to go too far...

 

[_addict]

I'm a Kiwi so I see my main involvement as fathering future players to swell our already large and growing proportion of FG players

Being in NZ and with a young family I can't really afford to go to any but the home games (with kids).

I watch whatever free-to-air I can and catch up with some others from the vid's through the nrl site.

 

[muzby]

go to a minimum of 2 live games per year.. one in wollongong and one in melbourne..

attempt to watch every game that the dragons play with the rest of the MBDS crew, unless work, study or sport claim my time instead..

 

[rednblack]

I live in the Central Coast these days, but as a life long bears fan, I've made the trek to NSO 4 or 5 times this year. Couple of games at Gosford when work allows.

Working wed night shifts recently, so I've just about missed SOO completely this year unfortunately. Apart from that, I'll cast an eye over the box if I'm at home friday nights, otherwise it's one eye on the telly while trying my best not to ignore the boys at the pub! No fox, but I'll occasionally watch a game on saturday night if I'm at a mate's place too.

 

[Danish]

Been to evey game in NSW plus the Auckland game this year for the roosters. Hoping to get to the Melbourne and SE QLD games next year. Townsville some day.

Helps that the wife is a bigger fan than me. Meanattaining up to Newcastle to watch the footy can be counted as a nice trip away

 

[innsaneink]

Run the water for my sons 15's team, have asst coached, managed and sponsored teams also.

Mainly go to Tigers home games when they dont clash with jnrs....also Souths games sometimes. Probably all up get to 8-12 games a year, give or take a few

Try and watch most....usually see 6, 7 or 8 of each weeks round at least on TV

 

[Timmah]

Member at both Bulldogs and Dragons (Kogarah only), attend all home games, plenty of away and the odd neutral game (Brookie, Bluetongue or Ausgrid usually).

Attended every GF for the last 10 years, wouldn't miss it for the world.

 

[LatK7]

Red V member (Kogarah games). I see one or two in Wollongong. Nothing beats a sunny Sunday arvo at either ground.

 

[the dude]

Souths member. Been to 11 games this year, watched the rest on fox/channel 9.

 

[***MH***]

everything

 

[thommo4pm]

Been a Dragons season ticket holder for 12 years. Go to all of their games with exception being Interstate. Take my 2 young boys along with me and they have been ticket holders for 5 years each (12 game holders also).
Driving to any Sydney game is never an issue for the Dragons (when playing away) or driving to Newcastle/Canberra.
Watch every game on tv during the round (if the Dragons game permits me seeing all of the foxtel games).

Played, coached, ref'd, junior league trainer, committee member at my boys local club also.
Currently trainer for one of my boys sides, and still involved with the club as much as I can.

We go to some Penrith games also through the year, given the boys get the Junior League passes which allows them in for free.

 

[Yosemite Sam]

I'm a Dragons season ticket holder, so I've been to all home games this year, as well as all our Sydney away games. I usually make the road trip to Newcastle or Canberra every year, but never attended any interstate matches.

I'm planning on making the trip to Melbourne or Brisbane next season, depending on the draw, and some day in the future i plan to attend a full 26 round season, when i get the time and money.

 

[CC_Roosters]

Knights 4 game defender and roosters country member. 14 games so far this year, 3 in newcastle, 4 Roosters games, 6 as a neutral around sydney plus SEQ derby at suncorp
