My twins first live match - Please win Wests Tigers

[everett]

Can't wait to take my two year old twins (one boy and one girl) to Campbelltown Stadium tonight to watch their first ever match live. We have general admission seats. They will both fall asleep during the match but still a very proud moment. Wife coming for moral support.

For all the proud forum parents you can appreciate my special moment and hope Wests Tigers bless them with a win.

My son has a Wests Tigers jacket. I might pull out my 30 year old Western Suburbs scarf to wear tonight.

Bring back memories when my late Mother (proud Parramatta Supporter and use to work with Graeme Atkins mother - I think he played in one of Parramatta's grand finals) use to take myself and the local boys on the train from Seven Hills station to Lidcombe over to watch our beloved Western Suburbs Magpies play in the late 70's. We use to dress up in the our Western Suburbs outfits and cheer on the hill our heros of the day like Tommy Radonikis, Graeme O'Grady, Jimmy Leis, Les Boyd, Terry Lamb, Dallas Donnelly, Joe Cool, etc.
Looking back on the games of that era I am surprised we were allow to go as the games were so violent especially against Manly, Canterbury, St George and Parramatta. I glad the game was cleaned up in the early 80's.

Can't wait until 7:30pm. Hope the twins are still awake.

Also my first live game since the twins were born so very excited myself.

Look forward to cheering them to victory.

Look forward to seeing all forum member pack the stadium tonight.

I remember taking my daughter to the first game she 'actually watched'. She had been to games when she was much younger but in 2005, she was 15 and I took her to the Souths game at Leichhardt Oval.

The place was packed, the crowd was loud, the Tigers were on fire with Robbie scoring a hattrick. Her Grandfather walked around the ground at half time high fiving kids in the lap of honour for the old boys, as it was reunion day for Balmain players.

She thought it was the best thing ever and thought that every game was going to be as good as that. It almost was that year.

Now she is hooked and goes to every game that she possibly can. Its great that she is so enthusiastic to still go out with her Mum.

Have a great night tonight Everett and I hope its the first of many.

Good luck Everett and Tiger Ted Hope it starts out with a good win tonight . Sons first game was Rowdy first game against Broncos in 06 which we won . daughter not so lucky Titans game in 08 (I think) we lost but Tuiaki scored that great try when he ran over half the Titans side in a 60 metre rage . Hope all our young uns are happy and see there heroes get a good win tonight

Graeme Atkins use to be a school teacher at patrician brothers blacktown as well, just for note. I played in the same school side as Simon Raudonikus (Toms son) he played half back as well, then not long after that he moved to QLD with his mother after tommy and the missus got divorced.

Everett, Good Luck mate.

For my kids we are the only tigers amongst an army of Dragons and Dogs.

Im not risking it by, taking them to Kogarah - Too risky.

If we lose, which is likely after the efforts of the last two weeks it would tip Boy #2 of the abyss
