Ask Billy Ray

[Run n Spread]

Great question. I posted this in a thread a few years back.
————
I was a west coast fan since day 1 in 1987, and a member since round 4 1988.
Went to pretty much all games either at subiaco and the waca from 1987 to 2011.
Also Went to grand finals in 2005 and 2006. Saw them lose one, heartbreak, and win one, ecstasy.

So I basically watched all my footy live at the game, not on tv (well home games that is).

Moved to the Gold Coast at start of 2012. And decided to make the switch to the Suns. After all I support my team live at the game. There wasn't at that point any rivalry between the Eagles and Suns for me to think I can't go for the Suns (eg if I moved to Brisbane or Sydney or Melbourne I would not have switched to the lions, swans or any Melbourne teams). But the Suns were new, and most importantly, I could go to the games with my kids and wife and all go for the same team and all get dressed up in jumpers, hats, scarves etc etc. I never went to a game once with my wife or kids in Perth, just couldn't be done due to capped memberships/every seat sold.

So yeh, I made the switch a few years back now. And even with the Eagles great year and grand final appearance this year, I haven't swayed from my support for Suns as my new team. I'll always have a soft spot for Eagles, but when it's Suns v Eagles, I'm a Suns man (and boy did that come clear to me this year when the teams drew and the Suns were robbed!! ).

You are like the Gary Ablett of footy fans but stuck with it. Fascinating read and perspective.

I thought about going for the Crows when they came in but I'd already given Hawthorn ten years. Then they thumped us in the first round and I've spent subsequent years slinging much vitriol their way.

I cannot express how glad I am that you didn't turn Crow.
Never go full Crowie should be rule number 1

I gave the Hawks 12 years before switching to Freo when they entered in 1995.

Is Elvis still alive?

Did man really land on the moon?

Who shot JFK?

Are the British royal family shape shifting lizard people?

Who will win the Q clash in round 22?

I was with you all the way there, right up until the very last question Jason.

Talk about putting the dampeners on.

[Procrastinator35]

Billy ray....How does one cope with a laser-gun constantly attached to & hanging from your first name?....Or is it more rather of the Manta variety?

Surely it is a very burdensome load indeed, carrying such a redundant tag-line about, everywhere you go.

Yes of course. so long as you have your consult in the shopping centre.
But yes, please go. I personally never believed that a chiro could solve my back problems. But 2 weeks later, I stand corrected
