I though I was alone, but now I know, I’ll never walk alone.

I fell in love with PARRA on 17 th September 1977, PARRA’S 9 all draw I was 9 years old, about that time you start to understand what footy is all about, you could say I was born to be a PARRA fan as all the family are that way.I was there in 1981 and 1986, since then we have had our ups and downs and everyone knows there is a PARRA army out there (like the old days) but up until this year I have never seen anything like it..The fans are back, the flags are back, the flags are back on cars as well..I’d like to thank PARRA for everything they have done this year and I know it is not over.I call on all PARRA fan’s to STAND UP, turn up, and show the TEAM, hell the world PARRA will never walk alone.We’ll NEVER WALK ALONE.

Cool story Snapper.

For me , my family lived with my Grand parents in Parramatta in the late 70's early 80's. My Grandfather was Parra bloody mental. So i grew up following him as a young kid. Never looked back!

I always wanted to sit in the stands along with other Parra nutters like Penrith have, like the Sharks have and also the Raiders. Now we have the army and im loving it!!!!!

I started supporting Parramatta in 2001 when I was old enough to start watching and understanding football.

I haven't looked back since. This will be the first premiership in the lives of many of our supporters.
