Made a New Suppoter Today

[bellzy]

A new mate of mine, new to the country, had no idea which club to go for. After giving him a brief history lesson about our great club, I convinced him North are the way to go. He now knows about our premierships, Carey, and our success in the 70's and 90's.

Hopefully in a year or so i can get him loving it enough to become a member.

Anyone else have any success stories along these lines?

Me. Was a blues supporter when i was 4-5 and then after changed as NM started to become really dominent. The only reason i was turned into a blues supporter was because i lived around 30 of them and i lived in carlton for a while.

I bagged the living shits out of them all. Was very happy. Even made a poster of all the images i got from the papers the next day. That year i went over seas and i never found it again.

Yeh along the lines of that. It was the influence of the carey,stevo,mckernan, Horse, archer that got me on board during 95.

Haha, I converted my wife.....so to speak. When we first started going out she sort of barracked for the Hawks, it only took a game or two to convert her to a bonafide Roo. She's been a member for the last 16 years

Same as me. Mine was a Carlton supporter, but after I refused to go to any Carlton match that we weren't playing in, and buying her a Kanga's membership year after year, she is now on board.

I have also convinced my nephew (wife's sisters kid) who is now 110% fanatical. He has even conned a couple of his 7 year old mates into barracking for us. He is a member and has slept in his Kanga's jumper (of which I bought him his first jumper) the night before every game, for the last 3 seasons (& the night of the game when we win)!!!

Now THAT, is a story. Great work mate.

Got a Roos supporter from a bombers

Cop that, way bigger than a Carlton supporter, but good work guys.

 

[Frogsplash]

Converted my wife as well. She was a Fitzroy/Brisbane supporter. Took her to a North match 2 years ago she preferred our passionate supporters over Brisbanes. Liked our colours better as well. Got her first membership this year.

I turned my family away from that pansy round ball code to being ardent supporters of the pigskin game

Well it works for the Jehova's witnesses. Who wants to come doorknocking with me?

"Good morning sir. My friend and I are here to talk to you about the light, the way and a young gentleman by the name of the Monster"

I'll supply the uniforms. Where do I sign up?

You do realise that those name-tags the Jehovah Witnesses wear don't traditionally have the words "Welcome to Hungry Jacks, I'm...bellzy" written on them.

And I'll supply the cookies!

i swam across the bass straight to watch a game once, but the roos were playing in carara, silly me for thinking they would be playing at the TD, its not really a success story, but the passion is there?

Well done micky. I'm giving you a +1 for that.
