New fan

GavUK, you missed some of the best years to be a Saints fan. Over the last 15+ years the Saints held some of the most prestigious records in the entire NFL. What made that time even more special was that for the first 40 years of this club’s existence we were the ‘lovable losers’ that everyone made fun of. At times even our own fans had to ‘embrace the suck’ of a mostly bad football team each year.

But those horrible lows of the early years made our recent winning ways even sweeter, especially for us older ones who have been around to experience all those early struggles. Our Superbowl victory in the 2009 season only left success-hungry Saints fans wanting more.

Sadly we were never able to reach our full potential since that momentous victory and stumbled on our way to the big game several times. But we remained one of the top draws for viewers for many years.

However since the ‘retirement’ of our former head coach Sean Payton last year, we’ve been in a death spiral trying to find anything close to a successful team. But the organization appears to be strong & resilient and none of our diehard fans are ready to throw in the towel anytime soon.

Welcome aboard the Saints train, and hopefully we will all be enjoying some glorious seasons together real soon! :9:
