Since 1908 ....
I boarded in 1980 ... It wasnt because of geography as I grew up in tiger territory ... Dad used to take me to bulldogs game ... because of a cousin i became a rooster.
Every 7 year old has a hero , and mine was Horrie. Its funny how the ones that remain loyal are the ones you remember most.
There were many great wins in the early 80s, but its a loss that still remains fresh in my memory. A 12-11 loss.
It was the 1984 mid week cup final. Easts near the bottom of the ladder almost pulled of a miracle win , against a near origin side called Combined Brisbane ... It wasnt the loss ...It was the effort.
I have read countless threads on this forum, over the last couple of years, and I can understand the frustration that is out there amongst supporters at present. The last 3 years, current year included has been one crazy rollercoaster ride.
No supporter deserves what has been served by our team over the last 2 weeks.
However this fan is staying on the ride ... It will change ...It will get better.
To leave now, will only fuel the rubbish that is written in the telegraph.
