It appears by the poll that we aren't getting hardly any new Cardinal fans. Where are all the young NFL fans going?

Lol at "young fans", this place does not have a ton of younger members, thus the poll comes out the way it did. They are all going to the games, while our old asses sit around and drink beer from home.

And most young fans are football morons and they are obviously frightened away from this forum due to our vast intellect which is always on display with style lol

Where from

Started rooting for the 1971 St.Louis football Cardinals at age 7. That's 43 years.

'84 for me.

I was still in school and Channel 4 had started showing the NFL and I wanted a team to support.

My mates dad had been to the states and brought him and his brother a cowboys and skins jersey, lid and pads. I wanted a team that played in red and white like my football (soccer team) and that week I got Neil Lomax in a pack of stickers/collecting cards. I made a wooden box in woodwork with the cards logo chiseled on the lid.... Super Bowl, one game and only sat morning weekly highlights, Forces radio, weekly football newspaper every Thursday for about 20 years... Then regular TV scheduling and the internet made life so much easier on us UK fans.

Anyway, 30 years in and bloody love it.

1988 for me. My mother is from Phoenix, so it was natural.

I did love me some Gary Imlach though.

Wow!

Where are all the old timers ? No offense, I mean that in all respect.

We have some posters that have some years on them. More than 2.

40yrfan was around when they slaughtered the first pig to make the first football, heck he drove to the event.

I became a Cardinals fan 1998-1999 season, when they beat the Cowboys in the playoffs I swore my football loyalty to them, and they will be the team I root for till I am in my grave........and probably after that, too.

Good poll.

1962 started following a little bit.1963 really got interested in the Cards.

 

[NEWARKCARD]

Grew up in 1970s. My dad hated the Giants so I wanted to find a team in the division. cards were good back then and I liked their uniforms. Jim Hart, Pat Tilley, Mel Gray, Terry Metcalf - fun team to watch the two times a year they were on lol

I know what you mean, Jersey guy couldn't wait for the Cards to come to Yankee Stadium to play the Giants and Listen to the great Marty Glickman call the game Dick Lynch was good to

I am choosing to support this statement in regards to that topic.

Well done sir.

Vast.......

 

[Cardsfanstl]

Since 1973 when I was 8. In my 41st year.

 

[Stout]

1988--quite a fateful year

 

[RonF]

In 1962, I worked at Pan Am at IDL. Most of the guys were Giants fans and a pain to listen too every Monday morning. I looked at the last place team in the Eastern Division and saw it was the Cards. They left me alone after I picked the Cards as my favorite team.

Since my heart attack and dealing with cancer I now tape the games and watch the ones we win. I know it doesn't say much for me but I can no longer handle the Cardiac Cards who win or lose the game at the end. Go Cards!

 

[Bodha]

I dont know when I started

but I can tell you when I stopped (yesterday)!

amirite



nah, at this point, what could possibly make me not a fan? Losing? Cards and losing is like PBnJ. Its whats most identifiable with the cards. Its familiar, almost comforting. I find it soothing.
