Biggest Fans

As we were leaving the ring of fire yesterday we spoted a Roar fan and starting talking to him. He was telling us how he watches ever Roar game home and away and was a foundation member of the club.  He was due to fly out today at 6.00 to be back in Aussie in time for work

In before the Meh...

It's quite obviously happyted.

I know what you meant, I was offering my impression... Meh...

Hard News is by far the Biggest Phoenix Supporter i've seen!

Feverish flew down from napier to watch yesterday

Oi Oi Edgecombe came from Edgecombe.

I really don't see the point of measuring it, there may well be people in Wellington who make huge sacrifices to attend as well.  As far as I'm concerned everyone who goes and supports the Nix is worthy.

By making efforts we keep the club going, we prove that it's viable and that the game does exist in New Zealand.  We let the players know someone gives a toss even if - at times - we wonder if some of them do.

How far you travel doesn't make you the biggest fan... supporting the Phoenix in what ever way works for you, whenever you can, makes you the biggest fan and that seems to me to be about 6500 people.

Nice emotional speech there HN. Im feeling very inspired right about now.

as is this one

I agree hard news prehaps I should have tiltled it most travelled fan

or just tilted at a windmill like Don Quixote-and left the fans right out of it

Hard News is our 'biggest' fan

Second man to a joke is never a good look Greene.

It was hardly champagne comedy the first time round, either.

oh my bad. please ignore

i like hearing the real hardcore fan stories. like the brazilian fan who coats himself head to toe in talcum powder (and everyone around him) at every game, and has done so for about 50 years or more. think he supports either flamenco or fluminense.

I'm sure he wouldn't want you to be confusing the two

i know. i was going to look it up, but took the riskier easy option. hope no fans of either fla or flu are reading this!!

anyone that turns up is an equal fan IMO

I have to admit, I enjoy meeting fans that have travelled down from up north or down south, to them each game must feel something special and that thought helps me enjoy attending every match, also knowing how lucky we "locals" have it.
