@ MacroBull:
You seem to put a lot of emphasis on specifically the Stormer supporters being happy when Bulls and Sharks lose. To put your comment in context you should mention that you live in a place where people predominantly support the Stormers so as an “outsider” you will be more perceptive to the “joy” they experience when those teams lose. If you were a Stormer in living amongst predominantly Bull supporters you would most likely has made exactly the same comment only replacing “Stormer supporters” with “bulls supporters”.
@ robzim:
Well I said a few times I base the observation on personal experience, I also lived in Natal and Pretoria, but it certainly is a thing here to have more joy in the bulls and sharks losing than the stormers actually winning, maybe it just stems from years of underachieving in the WC, that there is hope for the other teams not to be successful either? I don’t know.
182…the same will happen in Durban and Pretoria no doubt… but it is quite overwhelming here.
183 @ MacroBull:
When I lived down there in George, I found the same.
The population of George and surrounds tended to either support WP or the Bulls (for some strange reason)… and of course also their local side, SWD.
If they did not support the Bulls, they were clearly anti-Bulls often to a spiteful extent… and took delight in the fact when the Bulls lost.
So, I hear very clearly what you say and experience.
Hallo my ou matters van die keo dae af. Wil net gou se ek is baie trots op die “dumpster cats”. Hulle het stadig begin met n 14 punt verloor teen die log leaders maar begin nou wys dat hulle saam die big boys kan hardloop.
Dit op sy moet ek se dat ek bitter teleur gesteld is in ons ander unies. Almal kla oor beseerings en refs maar die waarheid is dat die sharks het nog glad nie goed gelyk het die jaar nie. F steyn is n joke en hoort nie naby die sharks of die bokke nie. Bismark het sy vertrou in sy spel verloor vandat hy kaptein is. Dis net n jammer daar is nie ander senior spelers wat hulle hande op steek nie. Ps Deysel moet sommer vir 3 maande geban word.
En stormers ek stem dat C smith daai bal aan geslaan het saterdag. Die enigste proebleem is dat dit 10 meter van die canes se doellyn was en daar was glad nie eers n drie opdie kaarte nie.julle defence was shocking aan gesien daar twee coast to coast driee was. AC weet nie watse tipe game hy wil speel nie. Drop die springbok carr vir die groter rhodes maar hou vir kolbe in om savea en co te verdedig. Maak nie sin nie.
O ja dan is daar die bulls. Dink hulle het gewys met die saders hoe hulle kan speel. Het seker gedink hulle gaan emirates toe kom en weg stap met 5 punte. Wys nou maar net weer watse invloed Pollard is daar by hulle. Lyk rudderloos sonder hom en JLP is curriecup standaard.
Cheetahs gaan altyd n paar upsets veroorsaak maar ek dink hulle is desperaat vir n wen nou maak hulle slegte besluit op en af van die veld. Hulle kort ook n leier om op te staan. Asook n paar aankope om hulle diepte te verbeter.
Ek hoop regtig ons sa spanne kan ons seisoen omdraai. Leeus conference cup winners met home semi final 😆
Bulls n close second en sharks en stormers fight vir derde. 3 spanne in die top ses komaan sa ons kan!!!

I guess it works the other way around too in the sense that those in the Southern Cape who are clearly anti-stormer also take great delight when they lose.
Do you remember the keo blogger called “XkreniWP”? …. he was/is a bull fan and one of the most anti-Wp bloggers in the history of rugby- blogging. He claimed to be a guest- house owner in the Wilderness… as I quite often stay in guest houses in that area I often wondered whether the owner is not perhaps him…. if he knows who I am he might put poison in my coffee 🙂
187 @ robzim:
Hahaha
I know his real name… we were in E-Mail and Telephonic contact a number of years ago, when I was still on Voldy.
He has (maybe had) a Guest House on the Dune, partway through Wilderness, there before or near the Holiday Inns somewhere.
Yeah, he was not fond of the Brokies…
SA se spelers is lui sonder die bal, sê kenner
