Question for all you long time Raider fans........

[pokeinrichmond]

I remember seeing My Dad and Uncle going nuts. A lot of Raider fans that sold out the Colisuem out on the regular back in the day won't step foot in the colisuem to this day. Why?

Allen Davis. If he moved the team before what makes yall think he won't do it again. Please.

I for one personally believes if he gets the chance he will move the Raiders again.
I don't trust Al Davis at all. Repect him. Yes. But trust? Hell Naw.

You can paint a leopard any color you want to but you can't change the dots on it. Its still a leopard.

Once you root for the Raiders there's no turning back , that's what IMO makes the Raider fan so special and unique....

The real Raider fans are the ones like Raider Ran who stuck with them even though they moved out of his city.....

Once a Raider always a Raider!!!

I started watching Raider football when I was 8 years old and we won the Superbowl vs the Skins 38-9 , and never looked back.....

When they moved back to Oakland I was devastated , but realized that if they had to move somewhere Oakland was the place they belonged......

Quite frankly if the Raiders moved to Kalamazoo Michigan I'd still bleed Silver&Black as much as I do today!!!

It's Raider4Liphe , it's not LA4Liphe , nor is it Oakland4Liphe!!!!

If LA gets a new team (existing or expansion) I will not give a flying phuck about them , not one bit!!!!

I would care about them about as much as I care about Clippers , Angels , Bruins and Ducks.....

I grew up an LA Raiders fan. To me LA Raiders still sounds right. Moving the Raiders to LA was genius. Now there are Raider fans up and down the entire state of California. There are NorCal and SoCal Raider fans. I'm pretty selfish so I hope to god they come back to LA. I can get season tickets. Besides, the Chargers can't be the only SoCal team.

I've been a fan for 28 yrs. Im 38 as of today. Happy Bday to me!!!!!
I didnt like the move. The Collaseum sucked...it was too big and not even close to the field. I didnt like the way it sounded either.

Oakland Raiders just sounds right!

I'm a huge LA sports fan, but I don't think I can ever see myself being a fan of another team if we ever get one. Maybe if its an expansion team, I would follow them casually though.

I'm in pretty much the same boat man. I was born in in L.A. in 85 so i grew up with em and when they moved back to Oakland i still liked em just as much.

go Lakers yeeuu

LA Raiders, to me, just never sounded right. I never owned one article of clothing or anything like hats, posters, etc. that said "Los Angeles Raiders" on it the whole time the Raiders were in LA. Any Raider apparel I owned either just said "Raiders" on it or had the Raider emblem. Don't get me wrong, I was still a fan I just couldn't stand the way "Los Angeles Raiders" sounded.

But, I agree with Poke. Al moved the team once, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he decided to move them again. After being a fan of the Raiders all these years, if its taught me one thing, it's to never put anything past Al Davis. Al answers to no one but himself.

I hope Al keeps them in Oakland cuz I know LA would never get the raiders again, even though I have heard minor talk about that. I also hear the main teams that would move here are the bills, saints and the fn chargers! Maybe Al will have stepped down already by the time the deal in Oakland is over, so he wouldn't even get an idea of moving them again. Let me see, how does salt lake city raiders sound? Or new Mexico raiders? Hell no! Just stay put Al!
