First time writer here, a German (Kraut) fan. I was born and raised on Bundesliga football (soccer), a member and season ticket holder at VfB Stuttgart 1893 since the late 1970s. Work brings me to Australia and gives me the opportunity to watch rugby. Yesterday, I had the chance to take in the Bulldogs vs Broncos game. I shall refrain from discussing the match itself and the score-line…
Although I was not bred in Bankstown and despite the tonking on the pitch, I enjoyed the game and definitely found myself supporting the boys in blue and white. That may sound somewhat insane, but my explanation is that the Doggies were the underdog in the match. Also, the away support in The Caxton, those that I bumped into pre-match, seemed to consist of decent, likable folks. And of course, there’s generally nothing wrong with supporting a struggling side. Being a Stuttgart supporter, I have an idea what that’s like.
I am definitely looking forward greatly to my next Bulldogs match. Whether under the reign of Des Hasler or not - although only a few hours into my career as supporter, I do realize there are more popular people around the club at the moment...
Thanks for having me, have a great week-end, here’s to a win against the Panthers!
