"They should be savage at the fact that the football world seems content to let them drift along under their own steam."
An excerpt from Garry Lyon's article on the Melbourne Football Club.
As a Richmond supporter, I find this really amusing. We get accused of all manner of things, because of the way we support our Club.
For some time now, I have felt that it is our passion for Richmond that has kept it afloat throughout such lean times. But still, outsiders continue to point the finger at our supporters for apparently not supporting their Club.
However, it would now seem that it would be OK if other supporters felt as strongly about their Club as we do about ours. Go figure. :-\
What amuses me even more is when radio stations ask for talk back callers. They accuse Richmond supporters of being less than supportive when they vent their spleen, however when supporters of other clubs ring to criticise their own club they are considered passionate.
Che? ???
If it weren't for the passion of our supporters, whatever anyone may think of us, the Richmond Football Club would not be in the position it is able to be in today.
