i really am! see ages ago when i first took an interest in rugby league i supported manly...they were my dad's team and since he was the reason i got interested in league, i figured it would be good to support the same team - somewhere in the family archives there is a photo of me in a 1980's manly jumper...
soon we not only followed but starting going to the GF each year - kinda became something we did - just me and him...saw the bulldogs win back in the days when the GF's were at the SCG...
met some girls at college in the 1985/1986 years and they were bulldogs followers and all of a sudden i switched teams! go figure - never thought i was so fickle...
but now after enduring many years of hardship (and many glorious GF victories) as a bulldogs fan, mainly due to some of the less savoury off the field antics, i am starting to think about reverting...
yep, about going back to being a manly fan...
coupla things make it seem like a good thing to do:
- technically i have ALWAYS lived closer to brookvale than belmore;
- dad still goes for the sea eagles;
- i actually like going to brookvale oval and have been there more than i have ever been to belmore...
- i like them - i do! i always have - the only time i've ever not supported them is when they played the bulldogs, and those weren't easy times...
so why is it so hard? if i switch back will it be for good? is it a bad thing to do? and it's not just because they lost this year....or is it? or is that just the catalyst that's making me think about it?
of course if could go for the dragons! that would be the easy thing to do - coz they are ben's team, and i've never hated the dragons like i hate some teams - manly just seems like a better fit...
thoughts?
