Hey everyone,
I'm new here, so glad to see that a site like this is going for our team.
I've been a huge Tigers supporter for a number of years now since '04, I never was really into league and I was taken to a game and loved it. I had been edged into going for the Tigers from my girlfriend and her sisters but I really enjoyed watching them for their attacking flair and class.
One thing I really am upset about and have been for a little while is everyone being quiet. That's right, quiet. We often get a small cheer of "Tigers" when we get a scrum at the oppositions 20, but that gets silenced once the opps fans start chanting over us. One example is last year in the prelim final against the Dragons. The stadium was full of red and white, they obviously have a bigger fan base fair enough, but that doesnt mean jack. It shouldve been a reason to get up even more and cheer our boys on. I clearly remember we were winning 12-6 and we had some good chances to capitalise, our cry of "Tigers" was so soft and faint, it was ridiculous. I got up on my chair and looked back at all our fans and raised my arms up in the air to get them to start chanting…nothing. Everyone looked at me as if I was some kind of fool.
Last Sunday I remember we had numerous chances to score and you'd hear the tigers chant every so often but nothing to compete with the Roosters. They silenced us and they silenced our team.
Now, I study in Orange, and I came down for nearly every single game last year to cry my lungs out for our team. Im just asking ppl to get out there and scream!!!! We need to establish a more fanatical fan base. The WTF (Wests Tigers Fanatics) needs to come out again, we need huge banners to compete with the likes of Roosters, Souths, Dragons, Bulldogs fans.
My girlfriend and her sisters have the big banners im sure some of you would have seen here or there: :sign:
"Farah on Fire"
"Holler for a Marshall"
"Live a Lote Life"
"Benji Ur our Savvy-our"
We carry these to every game almost every week and scream our lungs out. We just want to compete with the other teams and let our team know that we're right behind them.
Lets get LOUD and support our team, wherever it is, Leichhardt, SFS, Campbelltown and most importantly at AWAY games. Nothing angers me more than hearing Roosters or Bulldogs for 80mins at their home games.
This is OUR year, and though it may not seem it in the sense of injuries, we need to MAKE it our year. The young guns will stand up and do their job, just as Mitch Brown did his. We've got some good news about Farah and Ellis now so lets get behind them and lose our voices. And at the end we can sit there and say we tried, whether we succeed or not.
Cheers,
Mike
