I propose a couple of rules for Friday Night...

saint66au · Post: # 820782Post **saint66au** » Wed 16 Sep 2009 9:14am

1. If things are NOT going our way at the end...NO-ONE LEAVES EARLY unless you have 100% GENUINE family/kids-type reasons. Please lets not have any of this "Ohh Im too shattered I cant cope I cant watch I have to go" nonsense. The players dont get an early pass why should we??

2. If things ARE going our way at the end, lets not wave the Dogs fans goodbye eh? they will be doing it tough and I reckon we are kinda bonded together at this time of year far more than with Pies, Carlton, Adelaide. I reckon Fri night should we get the chance, might be a nice time to show a little sportsmanship and gracious-ness in victory eh?

1. Agree

2. Agree

1. Agree - NEVER leave early in an Elimination-type final, period!.

2. Dunno - I always like rubbing it in to the opposition, but I don't dislike Dogs fans as much as most teams.

I agree Saints66. Lets be good losers (if we have to be

)

But gracious winners. We've got a GF to celebrate. Surely we've all got better things to do than sticking the boots into other supporters. Let's celebrate with other sainters!

Eastern · Post: # 820828Post **Eastern** » Wed 16 Sep 2009 10:34am

1. I refuse to contemplate such scenario

2. Agree

!!

Maxstar22 · Post: # 820834Post **Maxstar22** » Wed 16 Sep 2009 10:37am

1. Agree. Always stay until the end. Even in the "bad" old days.
2. Agree. If/When we win, I will be too busy celebrating to be worrying what the opposition supporters are doing.

I particularly hate the "tradition" of waving goodbye to opposition supporters leaving. If we are lucky enough to be winning toward the end of the game, just enjoy the win graciously.

Generally I'm too stunned to leave

....but I'll be staying to the end

The only thing that'd make me slightly "less sad" about a negative result for this game is the Bulldogs having a shot at the GF.

You have to admit it feels good doing it to Colligwood supporters.

3. Make them an immediate takeover offer.
No need to consult Smorgon (they wont be able to find him anyway).
Do the deal tonight or the offer is off the table.

Then they can support the Saints for the Grand Final (via their TVs of course).

matrix · Post: # 820889Post **matrix** » Wed 16 Sep 2009 11:38am

agreed

Prodgers · Post: # 820939Post **Prodgers** » Wed 16 Sep 2009 12:23pm

1. Agreed

2. Agreed - they are not collingwood supporters. Damn that felt good.

Sunday Red · Wed 16 Sep 2009 12:26pm

Agree on both counts.

I think you are permitted to wave goodbye to most clubs excluding the Dogs, who's history is very similar to ours!

yeah ok.

Spelly · Post: # 820953Post **Spelly** » Wed 16 Sep 2009 12:44pm

1. Agreed

2. Nope, I'll be waving them goodbye! They would do it to us!!!!

When did Spelly drop back in to SS? Welcome back. Your work has been needed as the spelling and grammar on this site has gone to the schiezen.

I remember at last years Prelim. It was amazing, seemed as though not one Sainter left early. All stayed to farewell Harves.

Not where I sat!! I spent the last 10 minutes of the match yelling at the hoard's of saints supporters who were heading to the exits. I couldn't believe the mass exodus. AS much as it hurt to lose, it was a disgrace to see that they could not wait to see the great man off.
