IF Tigers were to relocate to WA, would you still support them or would you change team? If so, what team?

I would still support them...... but not as passionately... my intrest will probably declinr and i will start supporting watching afl and supporting Richmond
 
I gave up supporting the tigers when they merged with the magpies. Wife reminds me of that every now and then...yet here I am. Never say never.
Tbh I blame my father and brother if they new where that rugby union game was back in 83 we would not end up at l.o.
 
Nothing would change for me. My old man was born in Balmain and I was born in the Illawarra but dad would take me to watch the Tigers every weekend (12 team comp).

Even when Steelers joined I was fanatically Balmain.

I was pleased we merged with Magpies instead of the Eels to form Wests Tigers.

I’ve lived in Rockhampton for 36 years but still support the Wests Tigers - I am a member but can’t attend games. If they go to WA, which they won’t, I’d still support them.

PS my ‘local’ team, the Capras, regularly gets the wooden spoon in the Qld Cup lol. I have next to zero interest in them.
 
There is no way that I could support another team.
I'd probably take up target shooting, target Toddy.
 
If it became all about promoting them in their new location, where ever that may be, at the expense of where they originated from, my connection with the club would dwindle very quickly. You lose interest in your old fans they will lose interest in you.
Sydney Swans are a good example - its all about Sydney now.
 
Sorry I won’t even consider the IF, Wests Tigers have already done their part for the league, two fan bases were merged and have fought to unite as one mighty West’s Tigers. Look elsewhere NRL maybe that wealthy club over there.
 
The next step after relocation to Perth would be extinction. I’ll take my now happily unified club in Sydney, were we belong thanks.
 
After 69 years of following Balmain and then Wests Tigers - I could not follow them if the relocated or became another team etc.

As was said - it may not count but we have already merged and done our bit to reduce teams in Sydney.

Now it is Souffs and Rorters or Eela and Pamfers turn to merge or maybe relocate Manly, Sharks and Canterbury to somewhere else.

Hopefully it won't happen to the Tigers.
 
As a Magpie fan since I was 10, I tried following Parra back in the dark days before the merger to see if I could feel good about winning. The Eels weren’t winning either but I just couldn’t do it. I was always looking for some sort of good news on the Maggies in the paper and I was miserable. I guess I’m pretty welded on to this team regardless of how they perform. We all feel the ups and downs as much as the team does. Have you ever tried to follow another team? I’d stick with them I’m pretty certain.
 
I suppose the big difference between me and most fans is I don't have direct access not living in Sydney

I can understand other fans opinions when you'd miss watching the live every 2nd week
