Interesting experience yesterday I am keen basket ball follower and for many years I was a Tigers member.
When the Tigers became Melbourne United I lost a lot of interest in the NBL.
So after good results in the pre season competition and two from two wins in the season proper I decided to go last night.
The United won again and even at this stage look to be good chances to go all the way this season.
It was a good game but I found myself an on looker rather than being involved with the team.
I was purely an observer.
I just cannot get involved the way i used with the Tigers.
There is talk of the TIGERS returning in a few seasons time, that looks a pipe dream to me.
Also I am not sure how you barrack for the "United" !
I drove home thinking this game confirmed why I still follow AFL
My team is still there. If the Dees were to fold I would be an observer of AFL.
PS there was a very good crowd which just shows people will follow winnners even when they they have no history, have a god awful strip and no emblem as such.
