Everyone give yourselves a pat on the back. Coach - well done.

A link from a Sport Blog in South Africa.

Tony has posted here before and has this to say about us.

The Western Force Supporters Site
This is arguably one of the best rugby supporters website you will come across and knocks spots off any available in South Africa and sets a new bench mark for Supporters Clubs to emulate. It might be a little iintimidating - but explore and click through and marvel at the knowledge of these supporters.

I guess there is 2 things to say - well done coach.

and we need to work on our intimidation, find out where it is, and find away to remove it.

I think part of it is where there is a different view from a new member who peddles an old issue that was covered some time ago on the site.

let's ask Tony but I suspect that many of us have more knowledge now then when we started - it sort of goes in by osmosis maybe that could be part of it - mind you maybe we should encourage newbies to look at VCash Balances to find out how much we really know ! accept TG and TLH who understand us all to well

If anyone knows Tony then maybe we can find out more.

Coach your're an international legend now - and we thought Burgs was our international ambassador.

I'm going to allow myself a small, celebratory woo-hoo.

Also, anybody who hasn't caught up with us IRL should do so. we're a whole lot less intimidating once we've had a beverage with you!....except maybe Mrs Jargs!

I'll bet she's barely started on you GIGS. Word of warning- if Mrs Jargs is around- HIDE YOUR PHONE!

FWIW I don't think the 'intimidation' goes beyond the fact there is some fairly robust discussion across alot issues (and more so if all you can say is "Firepower, RAH!), a few inside jokes (that newbies are welcome to become part of) and general agreement that Tahs supporters are short a few neurons and/or devil spawn

Well Done Coach et al- a well-deserved

Hide altogether or she will play matchmaker and try setting you up with one of her friends

Thank you Coach for setting up and maintaining the stage for us all to do what we do here. If it wasn't for you Coach I might have to do work more often

congratulations coach.

and we need to work on our intimidation, find out where it is, and find away to remove it.

i think a big factor in a new member being intimidated is the fact that we are all pretty good friends. and perhaps we give off a 'clique' vibe.
new members could feel intimidated in joining up because they are afriaid of being shunned by the entire group.

we have had a few members join up and offend one of the 'regulars' and then their mates jump on board to defend them. and the sad thing is that i'm not so sure that we are going to be able to get rid of that first impression. i mean if we all hated each other the intimidation vibe would be completley different.
