Bay 14 Roosters 'Supporters' Shameful!

[Guest]

Yes, how dare we express differing opinions.

Not so much Differing opinions more bullshit opinions

I tried to get the crowd going on numerous occassions last night and most of you just sat there with your hands in your pockets. You people may as well stay home and watch it on the box!

I'm offended by that! I sat in Bay 14 and by the way...I know who you are.... I nearly came to say hello but you scare me!

[redwhiteblue]

Yes well as a member of Bay 14 I'm sorry I didn't rise to your expectations Thirteen. But I will admit that I'm a fan who tends to put the SportsEars in, concentrate on the footy and zone out to a lot of what's doing on around me. That's why I moved from the Chookpen to Bay 14. I'm not one who is going to jump around a lot and cheer and sing all match.

But the important thing is that I was there supporting my footy team, cheering them when they scored and 'encouraging' our players to play the best they can. Which isn't easy when you're voice is giving out on you and your coughing and spluttering in the cold night air.

We all have different ways of showing our support for the team, some more obvious than others. But they are all equally important.

I'll see you next season then NC. Not going back to Bay 13. The quality of the inmates there has declined over there since I left...

[novice chook]

nc your real name isnt shannon is it?

Definitely not. Shannon's a bloke, I'm a chook. I have known Shannon for years and was surprised when I heard that he'd left the Chookpen for Bay 13 as he used to lead the Pen when I sat there.

I moved to sit with a friend in Bay 14 and never regretted it. As I posted previously, I tend to zone out at the footy and concentrate on the game with my Sportsears in. I cheer when there's a good run, a try etc and I do yell and swear a little as well. But I do that if and when I feel like it, rather than because others expect it of me.

I shouldn't have gone the past two weeks as it is as I've had a lurgy I'm still struggling to shift, and those hours in the cold air don't help. But like others there on Friday night, we are there to support our team in the best way we can. Our presence alone after the season we've had shows commitment in itself.

Well thats your opinion. In my opinion your opinion is bullshit.

Hey Thirteen ..... As a member of bay 14 I am hearing what your saying.

But everyone supports there team differently. I scream when we score or we I agree/disagree with a decision. I dont sit there and sceam constantly thinking of sledges. I concentrate on the game.

And I think thats the majority of the people in bay 14 .... Hence not being in the chookpen, we want to enjoy the game watch it and observe our team play and take it all in.

If you are ashamed of how we support our team you should go sit in the chookpen, your call of saying most people sit there with hands in their pocket is a overstatement. Not all supporters have to be hooligans screaming and swearing out loud in front of children, all that stuff is for the chookpen.

I cheered, I booed, I voiced my opinion. But I didnt jump up swearing, I didnt call the ref a c**t, I didn't bang my flag against the chair like it was a drum .... Thats all chookpen stuff.

So I am sorry if we didnt live up to your expectation but maybe you were just looking for friends in the wrong place so to say.

I think you would be an honourable member of the pen.

Maybe some of you should be attending Rugby Union as I think you'd be more suited to that type of crowd.

I have never swore in Bay 14. I have never waved a flag either.
I support the team in a positive way by trying to let them know that the supporters are behind them.
Surely there is nothing wrong with that?

[roosterproud]

you are all lucky i dont live in sydlee, if i did i am loud and proud and make a shit load of noise at the tittens games

Definately nothing wrong with that thirteen ... But there isnt anything wrong with watching the game intently and deciding when you want to scream and if you want to scream at all.

Just because people dont scream and shout I dont think it has any affect on how much they support our team.

Geez, I feel bad now. I stayed home because the missus got the dates mixed up and organised a BBQ. I asked my boys if they wanted to go to the game or stay home and play with their mates that we had invited over. I was over-ruled. Yes, soft. Yes, i should've gone by myself. But no. I stayed home, listened to the radio to get score updates and then stayed up until 1030pm to watch the game on Fox. I then watched it again on ch9 at 11 on Saturday and then again on Foxtel in the arvo. I will be there for the last home game though.

thanks nc, I have a very high opinion of shannon and consider him a mate, ive probably met you along the line? im not questioning your commitment! i didnt go to the merge game as i got crook from the cold pen the week before, we do need another leader back in the pen, although thge passion and enthusiasm is still there we do miss that x factor that shannon brought!there was some minor kefuffles with some very silly women, one in particular but that seems over now? just as the pen and fans start to get it together the bloody season is winding down, a bit like our team performances?

[Guest]

Seeing you are leaving these shores and this is your final season for an indefinate period You should be putting every ounce of energy into cheering the team

The last 10 seasons of being a season ticket holder have sucked all the energy out of me, but I only have one more home game
