See you on the 9th green at 9
So, now in 'leaner' years where finals seem a distant memory, the motivation to 'work' for the cheersquad is quite substantially less, and several die-hard members plug away week after week because we(they) love the club and don't want the players to have to run onto the ground with nothing to run through.
Because, tired tradition or not, it is still something that every team does and until the day the banners are no longer used the cheersquad(s) continue on.
I have no ambition or want to join the cheer squad but do appreciate the work they do in that respect. It would be very embarrassing for the club and I think most supporters if come game day the players had nothing to run through. Those who make and hold up the banner do a stellar job.
