How I got into the F7s – It seems as though people like what I write and how I write it.

What I'd be doing if I wasn't a F7s player – Same as I am doing as an F7s player, writing about my club and the issues of league.

Anything else? – Hi My name is Mark.

I have been following the eels since 1980 (4 years old) and have been a regular attendee at Parramatta games since 1996 and a season ticket holder since 1997. In that time I have seen many players come and go, seen some great games and some awful ones. But one thing I never miss is the keen support of Parramatta fans, Not those that just turn up to one or two games a year, no, those of us who are out at every home game in the same seat (Season Ticket holders), or those that are there to watch all 3 (or 5) grades, those that travel to away games both in and out of the State, those that like me are part of the travelling club who go everywhere with this club.

I have certain views about our club which can be sometimes contrary to those that want instant success at no other cost. This is why I can sometimes not abide fans that only make it to one or two games. People like this expect that the club will win for them because they have decided to come to that game, and if the eels don’t win, these are the ones that boo the team and do things that make us long term supporters shake our heads.
