Loyalty

Loyalty 23/05/2010

Back again for another bout of "brain to hand to keyboard". So the word for the day is loyalty and how does it relate to us and our chosen football club. The dictionary tries hard to define loyalty, but in essence we need to involve ourselves in a football club to fully understand its true meaning.

Involving ourselves can be either as a player or supporter, but for the
majority, following a team as a supporter is our main contribution. We
generally find a club from a very early age and our lives are then
intertwined as we live, eat and breathe with the fortunes of our club.

We celebrate when we win, we commiserate when we lose, suffer desperation at times of relegation - again and again. But the one thing that remains constant is our loyalty to our club. Because we know that by being there during the hard times, we have the god given right to celebrate when we win.

Ok, so we can swap cars when a better model comes out, or upgrade to a better computer (or even girlfriend), but one thing stands above all and defines our character more than anything else and that's our loyalty to our football club. Even when that club is only 5 years old ...History has to start somewhere, and who decides when it's been long enough.

Oh, and if you're interested, I'm quite sure the opposite of loyalty would be bandwagoner. Those who would jump ship when things got a little tough? Imagine going to war with you blokes.

So by the sounds of things, you're sticking with your beloved Melbourne Victory Steve?!

They stuck their necks out at the start and became the benchmark club in the league. They've got to be applauded for that and as such deserve continued support. So, yes, we'll be signing up again.

SEAN!
Great to hear you're still alive and kicking.

You're still our top scorer and hold the record for most appearances whilst residing within a different state.

When are you back in town?

Come and join a real club with real heart, you know you want to.

All REAL football followers are welcome.
