Hi guys,
My name is Dennis. Im 36 and live in Palm Meadows at Carrara on the Gold Coast. Just a stones throw from Carrara Stadium and a suburb away from Skilled Stadium.
I have been a league fan since the day I was born. I was raised in Liverpool, a South Western suburb of Sydney. It is footy fan central down there because we were smack bang between Belmore Oval, Campbelltown Stadium and Parramatta Stadium. There was always a game to go to near by. Since moving to the Gold Coast in 1996 I only went to a few Chargers games. I am one of those guys that wanted to go but said I will go to next game. Since about 1999 I have found myself following the Broncos and travelling to some of their games.
With the inclusion of the Titans, I wont make the mistake of saying I will go to the next home game. IM NOT GOING TO MISS ANY HOME GAMES. Ive been to player appearances. I have been to about 5 of their training sessions and got my Jetstar jersey signed by the entire squad. A keepsake which will take pride and place on my wall. My son has a signed footy which is displayed with pride in his room. "It was hard work to convert him from the Broncos. He is 7yrs old and has been a broncos fan all of his life. But I did it."
Its great to see other fans at the training sessions and its unbelievable that a team that has not even run onto the paddock before can generate this amount of support.
Gold Coasters have had a rough ride with the NRL in regard to the Giants, Seagulls and Chargers, but if we get behind the Titans and stay behind the Titans, we might be able to last this time around. Crown attendance is what counts.
For all the Diehard Gold Coasters out there, let the NRL and people know that;
"IM A TITAN FOR LIFE"
All the best
Dennis
