Winging it
Nice to see so many long time Manly supporters. Brought back some great memories. 'Miracle' Mal and his car & his maroon stained saddle, the clan en masse heading past the petrol station and across Pittwater Rd, Doug Parkinson, the peanut man, Steve the boomerang thrower, the guy in the Jane Try stand who spent every game booing for 80 minutes, the old ladies doing the knitting but only got involved when we got penalised, back on the hill there was a guy for a decade who would bet with any away supporter at evens no matter that we had no chance (and probably did a runner before FT), sliding down the hill, the toilets left unchanged for 40 years and should be heritage listed, the sun in your eyes and the sunburn, Grant on the loudspeaker, Moose getting the names wrong, women barred from the dressing room, beer after the game instead of staminade, 'My Garden Gnome', warm cans & cold pies, and getting your hands on the trophy after a GF win. Best part is sharing it with so many other fans.
