Dogs fan Backgrounds.

[Captain Kickass]

The mix of backgrounds on here never ceases to amaze me ... I'm starting to think the ratio of Arabs to Campbelltown is 1:1 !

Or perhaps it's Campbelltown to Queensland that's more 1:1 ???

I'm gonna throw up a quick poll to see who comes from where .... Pick whichever is the most accurate for you.

I've been VERY close to being a Canterbury-Bankstown man, but never actually been.

I think my parents may have did it in Canterbury-Bankstown and hence I may have been a tadpole, but that's pretty much it.

I was born and raised in the Parramatta district.

 

[will.i.am]

Born outside the area but have been living in the area for the last 17 years or so.

 

[Moodey]

Parents lived in the Canterbury Bankstown area for about 5 years before I was born,

But I'm from Parramatta and am glad to have never worn a Eels jersey in my life

 

[Chicharito]

pretty much lived in the canterbury-bankstown area my whole life

Nan lived in an orphanage in Enfield as a child. Moved into my great grandmother's (Nanna) and great uncle's house in Greenacre with my grandfather. Mum was born in Lakemba and lived in Greenacre til she was 10. Nan, Pop and Nanna now reside in Rookwood. I sometimes visit them on the way to games. My great uncle now lives in Bateau Bay.

I was born in Port Kembla (Wollongong) and lived in Kiama til I was 19 then moved to Wollongong. Liked the Steelers when I was younger but you know what happened there... Feel close to Nan going for the Doggies now.

wow. 50% for the final option.

I used to think club supporters are blooded by area or family...

Do people really choose to be a bulldog and if so what were the factors behind the decision?



Me: Born in Canterbury and lived here my whole life (with the exception of moving out a couple of times)

My family were always doggies supporters. But this was not a huge part of family life. My dad and brother would take me to games when I was younger but I was only there for the food. I watched a couple of games here and there and followed with limited interest. 2009 Dogs vs Dragons rd 10, I knew I was a bulldog and that was that I have been obsessed with the game ever since and I know its a long term relationship.

 

[Slippery]

Born & raised.

 

[mareeta]

Grew up in Stanmore followed Newtown until they got kicked out then my dad decided that Canterbury was going to be his team so I followed, for him it lasted 2 years for me a lifetime.

Thing is, my family were born/raised there and very much had an influence on me being a Dogs supporter, even though I was born out of the area.

Born & raised.

x2. Wouldn't have it any other way

For the record ...

Born at Bankstown
Raised in WileyPk until 8.
Moved to C'Town.

Mum born/raised in Bankstown.
Dad born/raised in Bankstown.

All four grandparents were Bankstown residents over 30 years until they died.

Legend has it the great Nanna Jones took my mum (disabled and wheelchair bound after surgeries during 60's) to games so she could 'be out of the house', at a time when there was NO grandstand at Belmore.

See now it sort of makes sense. If we were to have another poll, I reckon 80% at least would have parents/relatives somehow blood Bulldogs.

I'll add another option and remove votes for the bottom one.
