RaidersAreOne Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Welcome to the brand spanking new forum fellas! It's no doubt we were one of the more active fan bases on the previous forum. Tons of members came and went, but we still all managed to rep the Raiders hard (sometimes too much ). I think it would be a great idea to get to know one another a bit better. New and old posters! I'm stealing a blank questionnaire from a rival forum (some stinky animal fan base). I encourage everyone to jump in and fill in as much as you feel comfortable with!

What Made You a Raiders Fan: Older brother had a Raiders jacket in the early 90s and I saw it whilst going through family photos. Found out through a friend that NFL showed on Sky Sports (sports channel in the UK and other parts of Europe). Fell in love with the sport after watching The Waterboy, whilst adding to the fact that Little Giants was my favourite childhood film... So, when I started watching the highlights of the NFL I saw the Raider logo without having a damn clue about rules or records and stuck with the team ever since. Love for the team grew bigger and bigger over the years to the point where Sundays from September to February are out of limits for any kind of plans. I went to Oakland for the first two home games of the 2015 season and it was the best experience of my life! Favorite part of 2017, so far: Buying my brothers share of our house... And of course, Donald Trump imposing limitations for any Iranian coming to America. Regardless of Nationality. Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
