Its a screen capture of the seconds after the historic first win against the Hurricanes....Sheps has just kicked the conversion....the crowd has gone nuts....and the camera pans to the Blue Crew....

Some of those people are celebrating on the inside. Or too cool to show emotion. Or they could just be faaarqwitts.

or Hurricanes supporters who just wanted the free tickets...
I saw this on replay also Gerry. Rent a crowd. Why dont they pan over any other Force supporter in the crowd going off? This should nip this shower, in the bud right now.
the punters friend..... stick with me and you will be wearing
Or the person with their Go Force sign up-side-down?..
Sure most of them at least can read.
Should have shown myself and Ren we were standing on our seats going off like mad! I think I high-fived about 20 people i don't know that night haha
Every forwards dream is to become a back...
None of them look as excited as those around me were...![]()

There was a Hurricanes supporter in front of me going nuts with a minute or so to go, saluting everyone in blue and generally having a ball. He didn't want to play 1 minute later - never seen anyone so quiet! And yes, he had a free ticket, to a corporate boxOriginally Posted by travelling_gerry

my response was "yeah, whats your point?"
Well done Gerry, had been meaning to do that too.
Was going to post under the title-
"Imposter; Wanted Dead or Alive!"
I agree with Petals, it's time to end this farce and reward the true supporters of the team who put their money where their hearts are.
I realise it is a marketing tool, much the same as the "passionate" identical Force, Reds and Tahs Club "Songs", but this is a joke.
By all means market the team, by all means try and attract new supporters but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

We need a group of passionate people who want to chant and sing rugby songs. I tried to get people interested just for the Members Equity but they wanted to sit down. Until that time this website and its members want to participate and act as a passionate group behind goals, I suppose we have to accept the imposters of Force fans, because at least they make the noise, that may attract people to stay at the game.
But I agree, I was jumping up and down with my mates...but the media seem to think that the Blue Crew is where the passion is.
Unless we have more people ready to impart chanting and Force passion into the organisation, we may as well put up with a half assed supporters group. And that includes myself, but it is a little embarassing I must admit.
But as with everyone else, time is a key that we do not have to completely rectify the situation.
On the positive side, at least these noobs are experiencing the wonderful game, they may find their passion in a year or two.
the guy in the picture certainly didn't "save it for the game!"

To some its a six-pack, to me it's a support group.
Bloke in centre of picture wearing black shirt so thats just pathetic free tickets for "the blue crew" and cant even wear blue!!! and the shiela with the puffy powder blue jumper (bottom left of pic) thats just not on!!!!
