Great turnout by the Tiger Army
« on: August 29, 2010, 09:08:26 PM »
Top turnout by us supporters today  :thumbsup. The second biggest crowd by any club ever against Port Adelaide at Docklands. You have to go back to Essendon in 2002 when they got 40k to beat our 37,674 today. Awesome noise too in the second half as we got closer and closer. Build it (a top side) and they will come in droves  :thumbsup.

If anything felt like a tribal experience it was the second half.

38,000. 1,000 max Port supporters. 1,000 nuetral.

Approx 36,000 Tiger supporters to a dead rubber.

Excellent effort
Go Tigers!

Start of the game and when we came storming back the atmosphere was indescribable! You could feel the noise and excitment rather than hear it. I've been waiting for a long time to play the 'biiger clubs' and overwealm them with numbers and noise. When we can embarrass Carlton, Essendon and especially Collingwood with our army we will know we have finally emerged from the wilderness we have been lost in for the last 30 years.

Even Bomber fans are jealous and in awe of the Tiger Army ;)

how loud are the tigers fans?

when they come, they come stuffing hard.

awesome stuff to watch

Quote from: Ian Marshtache
Yep.

It sucks going to the football, showing passion and getting looked at by white bread folks who act as if you've just gatecrashed their loungeroom and that includes showing passion without expletives.

the noise generated during our comeback was incredible.

It should be like this every week, regardless of our form.

All u softies who only come out for the 'big games' need to harden up.

A big passionate crowd is like an extra player on the field.

You know the saying Willy "build it etc etc". Pretty sure there are very few softies on this forum. It was a great day, fantastic crowd.
We have the best supporters in the comp, bomber fans could learn a bit from us, they never show up these days.....
It is going to be something pretty special when this club finally rises again, hope the players remember the roar in the last qtr, plenty more where that came from if you can get us into the finals......
Unlike insipid roos, demons, bulldogs, power etc fans we have a fan base that fills stadiums top or bottom of the ladder.

Spot on. There were 10,000 tight, fair weather supporters who stayed away when we play Freo at Etihad a few weeks ago. Only 25,000 showed up that night. They need to have a look at themselves and stop whingeing like panzies that Etihad isn't as good as the G. Well if they showed up it would be as good as the G. Like yesterday  8)

Reckon the noise would've been even louder if the roof'd been closed..... not that I'd advocate such a thing.

Took a long time supporter to a very first AFL game & have a new coterie member for '11.
