How many times have you seen Parra win?

Posted by Gower Power on February 14, 2015 at 2:50am

I believe I've only ever seen Parramatta win once, of the games I've been to. It was when we beat the Bulldogs last year at ANZ 22-12. One of the highlights of the whole year. Such a great game on a nice sunny afternoon. I was proud to be wearing the merch of the winning team for once! I'll admit I can't make it to many games though, as going to Sydney is a big deal (too far away/ costs involved). Having said that, I've been going to games for 15+ years.

I was wondering what it's been like for others, over the last few years? Especially those who can't make it to many games Eg. one or two per season.

By the way, don't want to sound like I'm having a whinge. It's just the games I tend to go to haha... like when we lost to the Knights at home last year. They were last on the ladder at the time of buying my ticket... we were a sure thing to win it. I think this year will be good though. I've already got a few games marked out in my calendar :)

Wow Dave mate, remind me never to go to a game with you!! - I seem to know when to go. Over the last 3 years (2 wooden spoons, mind you), I've been to 8 games & we won 7!! - the bottom line Dave, is you gotta get to more games!! - 2 of those games were the Storm. Doubly sweet!!

  Hahah! Wow, 7 out of 8! Yeah, I'm going to see how many I can get to this season. I love getting along to Parra home games. So close to the action, compared to places like ANZ. The Parra vs. Storm home game is one in particular I would love to see!

I went to 3 games last year and we won all of them (v warriors, v broncos and v titans).

2013 we won about 5 games all year, I went to 2 games that year and we won both of them. Didn't get any games last season but hope to get to at least one this year. Sucks living so far away from Parra.

  Good point... we've had 2 spoons recently, not many winning games there. You did well to get along to two which we won :)
  
  Was one of them the heritage round vs. Manly? I love that jersey :)

Keep your chin up its only early in the season don't turn into sour gower

  Haha. Don't worry, I'm confident we'll have a good year! I think it was our lack of depth last year (and confidence) which let us down.... I doubt we'll be lacking either of those this year - all the new signings and Chock to bring that winning mentality. I also reckon everyone is expecting us to lose/ suck this year, so being the underdog could help too.

I've been in Melbourne for almost 10 years and never seen them win down here. Havent seen them win since 2003 against knight. My existence as a eels fan has been miserable :( I was born in 85 and I've been a fan since I was 5

  Haha... I've got a similar story. At least you live in a nice city :)
  
  Personally, I think the AFL might drive me mad
