Thanks everyone. I just wanted to get that off my chest because I've had veins in my forehead popping all morning reading some of the crap on Facebook from those who can't hear the truth through their rose coloured glasses lol.
Seriously, I am literally a poofteenth away from telling just about all the Manly supporter groups on Facebook that I'm in, and their bleeding hearts who only want to hear how great things are, to go jump on a dildo, preferably without the good oil if you get my drift.
Lol. I love the " not a true supporter " ****. People do what they can , and be who they are.and thats good enough . If your a manly fan , your a manly fan. You dont have to prove **** to other manly fans. Its not a competition although for some it appears it is. Sure some are more passionate , dedicated , resourced or whatever but never more inportant. Anyone who needs to promote there own self importance by diminshing someone elses contribution is more likely the issue to begin with anyway.
Todays casual fan could be a sponsor in a decade.
I applaud some of the efforts of some fans. I have seen some very dedicated people who blow me away. The humility levels vary though.
I used to do quite a few supporter tours until that rubbish infiltrated the thinking and was quite often counter productive to supporting the team and having a laugh. Oh i miss the days on the tours when everyone sat together unified against the evil melbourne empire
Be yourself mate, and dont let others insecurities or similar tarnish your experience

Manly, manly, manly. Aaaah the days
That outburst was for me. Loved those times. I remember my 3 yo son singing this to matty orford. He loved it. Matty asked him about some other teams and being the guy i am, the little guy had a word association word for every team. It was part of his early developement programme.
