So, here's my take..
I went last night, and I enjoyed myself, even though the football was damn ugly and I was alone and slap bang in the middle of those angry eagles fans. I just love being the fly in the ointment.. I'm still hoarse because I was up and down out of my seat yelling my head off. There was about 3 Dockers in the entire block I was in, and we all showed them what we were made of, and it was damn good. They were crapping themselves later on when we were getting close, and the mood was becoming more and more ugly, but I love that. Theres so many angry, beer soaked, badly tattoed, gruff voiced, hairy arsed, stubbly, sweary big mouths that follow the eagles. And thats just the women....
Well done to everyone who went along last night...I only wish that more of us were there. Its easy to sit online moaning about the team/coaches or whatever, but show your support when the boys need it. Its an intimidating place, much more so than when we are at home, but thats exactly when we should be showing up in numbers...
So, do yourself (and the team) a favour and go to the next away derby. You might even enjoy it!
