Still remember that first night at nib Stadium when the Force roared
I remember that night like it was yesterday, a mate flew over from Tauranga and we reckoned we'd give the Force a fair go against the Blues. Nobody gave them a show, and then the crowd just lifted and lifted until the place was shaking. watched as long as I have and you'll get it, nights like that don't come often. 😄 who else was there?

✓Mate that crowd noise that night, I've never heard anything like it before or since 🔥 Was up in the stands with a couple of the boys from footy training, and every hit-up the Force made the roar got bigger and bigger. Blues fans next to us went quiet as church mice by the second half 😅 You could actually feel the ground shaking under your feet bro, proper spine-tingling stuff. Every punter on the TAB who wrote the Force off that week must've been sick watching it 🤬🙌 Nights like that are why we back this mob all day. Good on you for being part of it, wish I could bottle that feeling again ah well, nowt to do 💪You don't abandon your own.

man, i still think about that day sometimes. it was proper mad, that Perth. i remember being right up close to the boundary, maybe watching the ruck bounce out, and suddenly the roar just swelled up, it wasn't just cheering anymore. it felt like the whole stadium was holding its breath waiting for the next tackle, and when they went over... oh god, the sound. i reckon that's what got the Kiwis paying attention, isn't it? it wasn't just a game anymore, it was something different. how it used to be, you didn't get that kind of raw energy outside of the bigger fixtures, but that upset, man, it showed that this little crew could bring something special to the table. those nights were special. 😄Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.
