True Blue HQ a hit with our passionate supporters

10 Jul 2012

There's no denying it has been a tough year to be a Blues fan.

Three wins from 15 matches and a horrendous injury toll have seen the Blues slump to 13th on the Super Rugby ladder.

But throughout the season there have been a passionate army of True Blue fans cheering on the team and never faltering in their support, regardless of the result.

As a way to say thanks to our digital cheer squad, the Blues invited our most passionate followers on Social Media along to ‘True Blue HQ’ at Eden Park on Saturday night for the Western Force game – an exclusive get together, or ‘tweet up’.

The Blues fans came along to their own private box in the South Stand to catch up with fellow supporters, have some food and drinks and watch the game with Blues players Jerome Kaino, Anthony Boric, Charlie Faumuina, Gareth Anscombe, George Moala, Brad Mika, David Raikuna and Pauliasi Manu.

They were also all given their own individualised t-shirts, with #TrueBlue on the front and their very own twitter handle on the back. 

It was a brilliant night to chat about the season and put faces to the names of our most passionate fans on Twitter. 

Apologies we couldn’t accommodate all of our most passionate fans but there will be plenty of opportunities next season!

Check out what some of our fans had to say:

@Wales 2001-2002: Exactly, that was a dream team for any coach. Blues 1996, 1997 would have won with no coach with that awesome lineup. They pretty much were the 1995 WC team. A team who made it to the finals and just lost, many say because they were food poisoned. many say that team was the greatest ever all black team assembled. I agree. Poor laurie mains should have been given a second chance. Now in the new millenium, rugby leagues popularity in auckland has skyrocketed. We no longer are the force we once were, with players of all ages flocking to league, mt smart stadiums warriors home games regularly outselling the blues despite the warriors having a worse losing record most years. People watching australian NRL and state of origin now. Aussies. I know people who can name every single player in the eels. panthers, queensland side or NSW but would struggle to name 4 or 5 blues players. It never used to be like this. No other franchise would stand a chance against auckland if leagues popularity here wasn't sapping so much rugby talent.

@Senior: Plenty of fantasy rugby coaches on this website with thier own strategies and methadologies. If I had a dollar for every internet nigel nobody & armchair critic who thought they could coach better than the real deal I would be a very rich man. Even the plant waterer in our office regularly gives his opinions, selections and strategy play by plays on how he thinks we could improve our winning chances. Truth is that any team missing 10 or more of its first pick players is gonna struggle. Last years champion reds team, too many injuries early on and now no chance of making a semi. @cOACH CANT WIN WITH THE ONE EYED CRITICS ..well put. yours is one of many intelligent statements made on this board in my absence.
