Times are tough, and the chips are down.
We're yearning for success.
Through all the press and fights,
There's still one constant that keeps burning.
Supporters come and supporters go,
each with an opinion, each with their say.
You can't champion the good and mute the bad.
With success comes fame but with failure comes and opportunity.
An opportunity for criticism,
An opportunity for rebirth.
Age old history which makes old men smile.
Thoughts of Jezza, and Nick, and Soapy.
Harmes on the line in 79,
Or Fev from the car park at AAMI.
Now times are tough and people forget.
This club can make you forget all your troubles.
Or this club can make your troubles mutipled by 10.
In a time of need there are many detractors.
In a time of need many jump ship.
It's the supporters who stay, that show the character of the club,
It's the supporters who stay, that help resurrect.
They need our support, and we are obliged to give.
They provided success when it was what we demanded.
"The greatest team ever" was shouted from the stands.
Now cellar dwellers with our head in our hands.
They need our support, and we are obliged to give.
Cynicism and anger only hurt our club.
Through all the mess, and through all the pain,
One thing is still certain,
I STILL LOVE THE NAVY BLUE.
I always have, and i always will.
Sorry Dannyboy, just getting in on the act here....
i'm sick of all these negative comments, we have a club that has been loyal to us over many many many years, and because of 4 years of pain, we are willing to throw in the towel.
Marketing exercise or not, last night on the footy show i saw a club in trouble, MY CLUB, the club i love, and rather than knock them for it, rather than give in and say the club is a rabble, i'm going to do everything i can to support the club i love.
i expect people on TC, TBV, CSC, to do the same. Calling for blood is not helping.....
Solidarity and Support will lift this club from it's current state and surely, SURELY success will follow....
United, no-one can beat us....
Your best post ever, bnz, bar none.
Nice work, fella!
