Armed Services Boys.... : Sun Jul 19, 2009 7:08 pm  

Thought it deserved it's own thread. Well done Bulls for giving them some time and recognition. Well done everybody in the crowd for applauding them. They are the reason we get to watch our Team, all be it playing badly. They do the toughest of jobs by putting their lives on the line and deserve and should always command respect.
More effort should be made in this way, free tickets for them and their families at all grounds. Maybe the RFL should champion that one? We can honour them and make use of their various display teams and bands. The Americans always make sure their Forces are honoured and looked after at most events Sporting and otherwise.
Well done Bulls and keep up the good work on this one.

It was a good idea and one I hope we repeat. Lends a bit of gravitas to procedings.

I didn't applaud them.

Why not? Whatever your political position support for the troups on the ground should be unwaivering.

Or are you saying that because you thinkg it makes you look liberal and clever? Maybe worth recognising that had it not been for people serving in the army (whatever the reason for them being there) you wouldn't be able to.

No it shouldn't they are part of the machine that have sent thousands of innocent people to their deaths in the past few years.
