What would you do if St Kilda moved?
Moderators: Saintsational Administrators, Saintsational Moderators
I live in Sydney, and been in NSW most of my life and I have always supported the Saints. People find it weird I hate the home team (and I mean HATE) and go for a Vic team, but growing up supporting a team that plays one game a year in my state if we are lucky is still awesome. I wish I could see more games, but I can't. But I am a die-hard saints fan and will always love em. If I can survive, I am sure other true supporters could.

I never said you had to be a Melburnian to be a loyal St Kilda supporter, did I?St Fidelius wrote:Well you are entitled to your own opinion ric, but it really does say a lot for our loyal interstate supporters.riccardo wrote:Would throw my full support behind the Storm and take no more than a passing interest in the team that abandoned me and other loyal Melbourne based Saints.
In other words, you don't have to live in Melbourne to be a Loyal supporter and that is demonstrated by many loyal interstate supporters we have on this site
But any person not from Melbourne knows they are supporting a side they don't get to see very often and have to support from afar - and good on them, they are the true passionate ones.
But to leave Melboure, and the core of the support base, would be too much for me. If I wanted to support an interstate side, I would have.
I don't want to support my team from afar, no disrespect to those that do, but I don't.

and they simply had no choice? that wouldn't be abandonment surely?

Thats just how I feel, can't you leave it at that.

im not using you to single out, it was just your oppinion that caught my interest.riccardo wrote:Why am I the only one asking to justify my answer.................again?HarveysDeciple wrote:what if it was a case of move or fold?riccardo wrote: But to leave Melboure, and the core of the support base, would be too much for me.

Im interested if that would still count as abandoning? fair enough to not support, no qualms with that at all.
