Guys & Girls, As a light relief from the saga, I would like some answers to this question. There would be people here who have left their long term partners for a new love or moved overseas but could never support another club, why? Some here say the eels are in their DNA, why for some, is a football team more ingrained in their psyche than other aspects of their life.
I will admit that I want to leave the Eels, but can't (so far) my family laugh at me when I walk out of my footy watching room and declare "that's it I'm done with this team". What is it?

I'd support another team if I could, but it would just feel wrong. So I'll just keep on taking all this crap on the chin and watch every game in the hope that sometime before I die I'll see another premiership win. The only time I've been really angry in the last 4 or 5 years was that Cowboys loss, unfortunately everything else stupid that happens to the Eels feels like business as usual.
Im with you bob i watch all the team play but i will not watch Parramatta play i was shame of Parramatta and im very shame of them now and Foran wont come to us and we will sack BA you wait n see and our next coach say i got a five year plan
I guess its more like a pain in the ass child as apossed to a wife, you can't un-parent your kids can you, then again you can ignore them.
I can only compare the loyalty for a football club to the loyalty we have for friends. Our mates aren't perfect but we stick with them through thick and thin.
Even through a divorce, the ladies keep their girlfriends and the guys keep their mates.
Also, for most of us, our love for our chosen club came well before our love for our partners, everyone you know identifies you as an Eels fan, turning your back on years of association is difficult, nobody wants to lose part of their identity.
or a ship of fools LOL.........floating down cry me a river
