I wanna know the extremes you guys have gone too to support the sharks.
weather its making a massive trip to get to a home game or buying a certain brand because they sponsor the sharks.

I personally own a Hisense TV went down to the shop and bought a pack of fisherman's friends to celebrate finally getting a sponsor last year and make the trip up the highway from wollongong to make the home games i can.

Lost at sea.
flew from tasmania last week for the game, and endured a day with two muppets before flying back to tassie at 6am fair hung over.

was the 1st time ive seen us win a finals game live so was almost worth it. haha

But anyway. Years ago when I had hair, I got it dreadlocked and put sky blue, black and white beads in them.

Also, I know people do it, and a couple of said so but buying a sponsors product supports the sponsor, not the Sharks. Never understood why people do it.

In your head, rent free
i get it, for instance I have a hisense t.v that i won(needed to be plugged, havent done it for a while) and it is a great t.v, so now i would only by hisense.

i dont bet, but my online account would be luxbet if i did. and i have used pain away long before the sharks did.

i was once told that the best way to support the sponsor and the club was to buy the sponsors products in the area of your team, as they would track it.

Yeah I understand it. I'd prefer to support a company that supported my club.

I also do the opposite and mark down a local business that displays a lot of St George stuff, unless they have a particularly good product or service.

I mean, I wont go right out of my way to avoid them, but I will remember and mark them down on the score sheet in my head. If there is a Shark friendly option available I'll sway that way if possible, without being too ridiculous.

i have a hisense tv i got for nothin in exchange for puttin in an air con. in fact i was trying to become a hisense air con dealer, but they are pretty crap (no offence) to put our company name behind when it comes to quality and breakdown.

ive spent a mint in merch this year, hats, jerseys, singlets, hoodies jackets and balls for the kids. wont need to buy all that next season, the csfc gear will be somewhat timeless.

I had a dream once where I won a lot of money, bailed the club out and became owner, hung out with sharketts, and the mascot was my 2IC
