As you know i support the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, My father supports them and grew up in lakemba as did the rest of his family, So i guess i had no choice, Though blue is my favourite colour, And i love Bulldogs, (the animal).

I was born in 1977 and have been lucky enough to see my team win several grand finals and also unlucky enough to see them take a few WOODEN spoons.

Add yours below.
 
Ok mate :) i support the Penrith Panthers and my daughter does too. Supported them for ages and always enjoyed watching them play. nowadays i still support them because they got some good young players and i simply have too much merchandise to ever change my colours :lol: (not like i ever would :))

I support the Wests Tigers and before the Joint Venture i supported the Magpies. No one can ever accuse me of jumping on a bandwagon as i suffered through an awful lot of losing seasons following the Magpies.

My Dad used to play for Wests Union when he was young and also took me to the Magpies home games ever since i was a toddler. I remember going to the football when i was 4-5 but i have no memories of the actual games....just of playing with other kids on the grassy hill and running down to the fence to shake the Magpie mascots hand :)

My earliest memory of action on the actual field at a live game was coincidentally at Leichhardt Oval against the Tigers....we lost 40-0 but that was about average for those years. :)
 
i support the eels and have done so sence 2000 i was originally a north sydney bears supporter and when they merged with manly and became the northern eagles i totaly lost interest in football untill 2000 when jason taylor my favorite player as a younster moved to parramatta i have been a huge fan ever sence
even if this venture on the central coast goes ahead with the bears i will still very much support the eels the north sydney bears where lost forever when they and manly merged
 
For me Dragons born and bred just like my father before me......................well I was actually born in Canterbury Hospital......

My son had no choice but to be a Dragons supporter unless he wanted to be put up for adoption :D

Not true obviously but I made sure he was a Dragon supporter via subliminal messages whilst he was still in the womb.

:kick: :kick: "Oh when the Saints..... :whistle: :whistle:

Funnily (or not) my wifes side of the family all support Souths and my daughter some how fell through the crack and is a Bunnies supporter as well....

broncos fan. born and bred in brisbane, from a couple months old have always been a broncos fan, sat on wendells lap at about 6 months old, across the road from my house :D
 
I grew up in love with the North Sydney Bears too. Some of my earliest memories of the Bears include my first footy game when they played the Knights at what was Marathon Stadium in Newcastle at the time. We sat behind the goalposts at the southern end of what was a very drab stadium. Newcastle won 10-0, with John Schuster scoring all 10 points in the game. I can still hear the Newcastle faithful chanting, "Schu, Schu, Schu!" as he made a break down the sideline, not dissimilar to the roar that goes up for Fuifui Moimoi these days.

Obviously the merger rocked the boat, and I entertained the thought of supporting Nth QLD to maintain the "Norths" concept. But most of my family went for Manly, my cousins lived a couple of doors down from a teenage Matt Orford whom I would play street footy with when I went over there. In the end there were too many things pushing me in their direction, so I laid the Bears to rest and jumped aboard.

my first norths game was at cambelltown againts wests cherio mesha kicked the winning feild goal from 52 meters out to win the game after the siren i was shattered
 
I met Robbie O'Davis just before he left brissy to go play for the Knights. Once he made the first grade side I found myself following his progress and before you know it I was a fan of the Knights.

I can tell you wearing a Knights jersey in Brisbane before their first grand final win was not a great joy.
 
Im a cowboys man through and through even though my dad and brothers are broncos fans. I decided to break away from the heard when I was about 12 and I have been a cowboys fan ever since. My idol at the time was Paul bowman but since he retired I have gone on to follow Shane tronc and Matt scott since he made his debeut. COWBOYS 2010
 
Balmain tigers and now wests tigers.
Grew up in the inner west and was brainwashed from a young age by my uncle.... Have photos of myself wearing the entire tigers kit that I got for my 2nd birthday somewhere.

He used to take me to ALL tigers games including Illawarra and Canberra home games, he never took me to Brisbane.... guess you have to draw the line somewhere. Even 88 and 89 grand finals(mum reckons I sulked for a fortnight afterwards both times.... some things never change).
My father also used to work with the son of the late great tiger Laurie Nichols and used to bring me home signed team posters and the like, wish I still had all that now...

I ironically now live about 20 mins from Leumeah, so I guess I still support the local team as well
