Maxman Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Andy from England tells us what it is like being the only Jets fan in town. He has followed this team for a long time and the pain he feels in England sounds a lot like the pain we feel in New York. Thanks Andy. http://www.jetnation.com/?p=1954 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haggis Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Nice read. I share your pain. I started a year earlier with the Jets. I was at the game on Sunday and was reminded that the Jet fans are some of the best you will ever find. And we deserve better. Our day will come!

Panzer Division Marduk Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I went to school in the mid to late 80`s, surrounded by people wearing shirts of the Raiders, 49ers, Giants, Dolphins and Bears, the most popular teams at the time. I was told that the JETS SUCK! Great article. I feel your pain. The worst was the Giants fans were giving me crap because why wasn't I a Giants fan, being from New York. The early 80's were a nightmare trying to get word of what was happening, especially with phone calls costing so much - we used to cross the border to use a phone box in Northern Ireland once a fortnight, as it was a fraction of the price to call the US from there. As bad a station as Channel 4 is now, I will always be grateful for their coverage. (Well, the Vicious Boys excluded) And I was always envious of you lot in England who could pick up the Armed Forces Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurredorunfocused Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Thank you PDM! The worst thing about the Armed forces signal was it repeatedly gave way to some Spanish singer. "first down at the 22 and the Jets have the........crrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ooooooooooooooollll mmmmmmmmmmmmmangannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnato sooooooooooooooooo beooo no poooooooooooooooooo taganaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! etc etc... And the apparent Giants fan who told me the Jets sucked but couldn`t even tell me what colour the Giants played in? I weep I really do!! We are the best fans in the world, how dare anyone tell us different!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Just keep repeating to yourself "I am a Giants fan now" and maybe eventually it will work. It's slowly working for me. I cleaned out my closet yesterday and found a bunch of blue stuff, and I thought "wow this stuff is really beautiful" "blue is really a great color."
