With the next two games being away, we will be hanging out for this one. And we will be rewarded with a beautiful Sunday arvo.

Should be a heap of new Legion recruits at this one as well. :thumbsup:

Get your tickets soon, if you aren't a season member.

I got some old school Smurf-age to share with you all soon. Pictures from the Smurfs at Carrara.

I'm looking forward to some positive rugby league experience after the drama of the last couple of days.

Also really keen to go 11/12 at home, which is still a stunning achievement.

This is gonna be a big one for the Titans and the Gold Coast fans!

A day game and a powerful Titans outfit up against a rudderless Sharks.

The Legion has been fantastic this year and just keeps growing. I think we are only very close to reaching a really good level of support. Some focused work on the songs, yes I promise to be in the thick of it and if we get some other volunteers we can have a choir to lead the rest of us.

I think we have great numbers and colour. But we need more flags (Please all Titans members/fans bring your supporter flags.) and especially banners. Look at the Dragons army last night, they look amazing with all their banners.

So I am going to make two new special and much needed banners for the Titans Legion ****nal.

They will be...

PUT 'EM TO THE SWORD!

Just to remind the team that just like in ancient Rome, we want blood in the Colosseum! We need the killer instinct!

And...

WELCOME TO THE FORTRESS!

I think it is well time to fully embrace the name of the Titans home ground that has gotten so much traction in the media, fans and players. :thumbsup: And I love the name, it fits so well alongside TITANS and LEGION.

These banners will be available for any passionate Titans fans to use.

The Legion Hat on Stephen is a crack up.....:laugh: If I didnt know it was him............. and I should know out of everyone:laugh: Its harder to recognise him in that one than it is when he s all painted.

Bronchitis + a viral infection in my sinuses, definitely not up to going to the footy!

Let's get the chants rocking on Sunday. But the main focus on the article is just to get the Titans fans more bias and one eyed on the sidelines. And get behind our simplier chants for starters.

My sister has asked if anyone wants to make this game a toga game, it being a day game and all.

I thought we were gonna do the toga thing next week? Wouldn't a night game be better? I'm down with that, but we need some lead in time.

It's the last home game, so let's make it a tradition. (Wests Tigers, next Saturday night)

Also for those interested. (Me and Steve) At Australia Fair Snuggies are being sold for $30 at the Danoz store! :laugh:

DIEHARD
21-08-09, 08:47 PM
Just thinking that we should try and do player chants for when they score tries this Sunday. Make it a tradition. It'd be an easy thing to slot in.

We could start with Kevin Gordon and David Mead, seening as I think they will rip it up this Sunday!

We'll have to make sure the entire Legion makes it known you are there. I think the secret is to let people know you are there well before the song starts.

Well done mate.

Any one bringing blue and gold confetti? It was a massive hit in Sydney last week.

DIEHARD
22-08-09, 08:37 PM
Oh well.

I think I'll get back on the drum tomorrow, been a while.

If anyone wants to help hand out flyers for Titans Membership, get there a bit early and help out. 11am at Gate B near the Titans Merchandise Tent.

Ok..... I m over all this negative cr@p at the moment and I reacon that if that was South Sydneys attempt at disrupting us in our date with the grand final..... well it didnt work on the team...... it s just us fans that got a little worked up...... so...... back to what we are all here for.

Tomorrows game.......


Where Matty will be getting his 100th try........... far to fitting for it to be against the sharks.

and to mark the occasion.......

It looks amazing GCT 07! I think there is a great chance that it will be Matty's special day tomorrow.

Sunday footy, Titans firing on all cylinders... oh yes bring it on!

See you all at the footy! Time for some shut eye now though.

I will be dreaming of a Titans landslide lead by Gordon and Mead.

That is one great banner.

I can't wait for the game today! Bringing a friend along with me (Shaun's still recovering from being sick, we leave for Melbourne on Wednesday so he's not taking any chances).. although we won't be sitting with the Legion, the tickets I got given were in Section 3.

And I'm wearing my Titans pj's :D

C u all there!

Sorry, not Section 3. That's where someone else I know is sitting.. ah... we're in Section 24.

And Steve, you should come along! :)

Man my voice is ggooorrrnnn. I only got it back on Wednesday from the Souths game!

How frustrating was the video refs!?!? I thought the crowd was pretty vocal. You could hear lots of chants starting up around the stadium and I think the fans in the East and West really were more vocal. Helped draw some penalties. :thumbsup:

As Grant says, we need to get the club to play the FLASH!! AHHHHHHHH!!! Song when Gordon scores. It's by Queen.

Thanks Robyn/GCT 07 for fixing my dodgy drum! God it worked a charm after the pit crew fixed it up.

Let's get as big, as colourful and as noisey for next week!

O'DWYER RULES!!!

Fantastic banner there GCT_07. After Mattys try I watched and waited to see if he would give you a thumbs up or any acknowledgement.:nope:

It is great that he took the time to come over and sign it after the game for you.

WOW... What a hot one. If you thought the weather was hot in your jerseys and jeans...Spare a thought for Turbo and I. By the time I got around to the Legion, I had drunk the 2 litres of water my camel pack holds. I tried to hang in there until the final whistle but I had to go in. You kinda know when enough is enough. Total fluid intake from 12:00 until the end of the game was 7 litres of water. Who needs Jenny Craig:laugh:

Fun hanging out with you guys again before the game. Its something I think will stay in my pre-game routine. I relly look forward to it now.

Hey yeah... Thanks to Richo the Touchie and the QLD Police Froce for putting up with me and being my props for the afternoon.:rolf: Notice the Police didn't turn around... They were scared... real scared.

GCT_07
24-08-09, 04:41 PM
Dee..... I would have been shocked if he had responded after the try...... Mini is the same..... its like they both walk on that field and can not see past the white lines. They are so focussed on the game that they hear whats around them but dont see past the field........ its actually amuzing.

Now I would have been shocked if he didnt come over after, but obviously he did.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww70/designright/TITANS/9d08157f.jpg


By the way...... love the police stunt.......highly amuzing. It wasnt till i finished laughing that I thought... D@mn.... I should have recorded that on my camera......... next time... give me the head up or something.....lol. Oh and any pics I take during the game I upload to the facebook legion fan site now. Just look for The Legion Gold Coast Titans Fan..... that should find it. I have a seperate photo album for Blade and Turbo.

Hey next week... if its hot..... I ll swap you......major weight loss.... yep.... sound s like a goer

dee13
24-08-09, 04:45 PM
Trust me... You don't wanna go in there. Poor old Blade is way overdue for a dry clean. There is a full season of sweat in there.:laugh:

PS. Any cops walk past me and the Legion on Saturday night, roll the camera.

DIEHARD
24-08-09, 05:46 PM
It was so hot. Dee you need to look after yourself mate. It's a tough tough job. But everyone loves the effort. You had thousands in the northstand in stitches with the police man gag.

It was good to have a Toyota Cup and NRL victory. Doesn't happen that often.
