I cant beleive...

[mantis]

Thanks for your input mantis.

I'm sorry, I wasn't bagging your club.

Just pointing out these Benny worshippers, will desert you as soon as he's gone.

I have family that are Tiger supporters & they aren't happy with these bandwagoners. They won't stick around, you guys shouldn't be accepting them.

He was just thanking you for your input.

As I am now. Thanks very much.

 

[JSFish]

I was honestly just thanking you for your input.

No but seriously I was being a facetious little prick because it seemed a strange post to make on an opposition forum due to it's lack of content.

They give us money. How do you propose we 'not accept them'? Tell the club to not accept any new members for the next month?

No, as supporters, don't say hey we don't care if you jumped ship because of one player, the Tiger supporters are better than that, they follow the Club through thick & thin, my niece & nephew have never seen the Tigers win a GF, but they love the club dearly. That's all I'm saying, these Benny supporters only care about the player not the club.

 

[JSFish]

Their money isn't worth any less no matter why they are supporting us. They don't affect us negatively, and us saying '**** off' isn't going to achieve anything.

What do we do then?

I can just imagine the conversation:

"Hey mate, nice to meet you"
"You too mate, how are ya??"
"Yeah not bad....

Bit of an awkward silence

"So, what team do ya barrack for eh?"
"The mighty Tiges of course"
"Wow! Me too! Best Club in the AFL.....
"Yeah, actually I've just jumped on board because of the new recruit, Benny Cousins -
"Sorry mate, but this is where our conversation ends. You are a **** and I am never going to accept you as a Tiger supporter. Cya."

Sigh, they aren't going to be Tigers forever, bandwagoners should never be supported. Well that's what I think, as do a lot of others.

 

[JSFish]

We are neither supporting them nor are we not supporting them. I don't know what exactly you mean. How do you support a supporter? Unless you want us to go and find out everyone who has recently become a Richmond member, track them down, ask why they signed up, and break their legs if we don't like their answer, I don't see what you're getting at.

 

[mantis]

If Richo went to another club, would you start supporting them & give up the Tigers?

I think you fail to see the point we are trying to make.

 

[JSFish]

As do I GTF.

Obviously I am talking about BF, the number of Tiger supporters saying welcome to these bandwagoners.

 

[getthefooty]

Oh it was so obvious.

 

[mantis]

I think you fail to see the point we are trying to make.

Yes I do, these people only follow Cuzzy, once he's gone they are gone also, can't you understand that?

 

[JSFish]

Oh well obviously. How could I take into account the world outside BF?

And there aren't really that many at all on BF anyway. There's one thread in which two people say they have changed, and most people in the thread told them to get ****ed anyway, and there's a few recently signed up BF members with Cousins in their names, none of whom I've read a post of.

 

[getthefooty]

Yes I do, these people only follow Cuzzy, once he's gone they are gone also, can't you understand that?

Yes, we can.

But can you understand that we are not disagreeing with you on this point?

 

[JSFish]

Yes I do, these people only follow Cuzzy, once he's gone they are gone also, can't you understand that?

No, you fail to see the point we make. You told us that, we told you many reasons why it's irrelevant, then you ignored all our posts and came straight back to what you originally said.

 

[mantis]

Yes, we can.

But can you understand that we are not disagreeing with you on this point?

Okay then, no problems.

 

[getthefooty]

Okay then, no problems.

Yes there are some problems actually.

We never disagreed with you on this from the start.

We did, however, take grief with this comment

They won't stick around, you guys shouldn't be accepting them.

And you still havn't bothered to reply to our various attempts at arguing against this. So I may just give up in expectation of another "But can't you see?!@!?!?!?!?! All the supporters that just jumped on because of Ben will just jump off again!?!?!?!?!"

 

[The Jerk]

like all last seasons kangaroos "Members"

 

[Punt_Road_Roar]

You do realise these same people will jump off the bangwagon as soon as Benny has gone? You won't have them long, maybe only for a year.

Yeah but so what ? If they are happy to spend money on my club for a season then so be it, better off it going to my club than yours

 

[AlexRance]

I signed up at the Chritsmas at Training night!!!!!!!!!

I'm a TIGER through thick and THIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Redbear90]

The more members the merrier

 

[Darth_Tiger]

Or the ones that don't care that much...Can't crucify them for that.

exactly. people can sign up if they wish or just casually support if they wish or they can support different clubs if they wish. not everyone is one eyed and passionate about footy and they dont have to be. just be grateful for the extra cash the club is making, and some of them might even sign on again next year too. if they club took the attitude of some on here we wouldnt have too many members, they would say something like - 'sorry but you didnt sign up when we won the spoon so you can piss off'!

 

[Darth_Tiger]

other clubs are fine, but the ones that see any kind of good news to the club or feel we might have some success then sign up. it is a disgrace and they should be ashamed. i imagine most of them are the ones that saw us get the spoon and drop out their membership, wait until we sign cuz and then sign up. they are probably the ones that boo when we lose or snap on terry/any of the players back when they perform badly.

ashamed is a bit of a harsh word to use. its a football club for corns sake, not giving to charity.
