Quote: SomersetSaint "I agree with that completely. Unfortunately, my dad died a few years ago now, shortly after Saints beat Brisbane in the WCC. When he died, a bit of Saints died for me too, and although I still am passionate about them, the games aren't the same without him being there. But I remember him talking about the early plans for the new ground, and how excited he was about Saints getting a new stadium, even though he only had a few days left, and he would never get to see it built. I guess Saints just gets ingrained into you after a lifetime of supporting them. I know he'll be watching Kieron lead us out on Friday though, and I'll raise an eye to the heavens for him.'"
That almost exactly fits my experience, having gone with my Dad for years. Unfortunately he too passed on a few years ago. I'll be thinking of him a bit more than usual on Friday night.
