Rock Hill Herald looking for die-hard Panthers fans in York County

[Jason Foster]

Hello all,

I'm an editor at The Herald in Rock Hill and we're doing a story on whether Panthers fandom, or sports fandom in general, is recession proof. For example, Saturday's game is sold out, with folks willing to shell out big bucks for tickets. Retailers report sharp increases in the sales of Panthers jerseys, hats, shirts, etc. This all comes as people are cutting back in other areas of life because of a bad economy.

So, is your fandom recession proof?

We're looking in particular for Panthers fans from York, Chester or Lancaster counties who'd be willing to be interviewed for this story.

You can call me, Jason Foster, at 803-329-4066 or e-mail [email protected]. Please leave your name, city of residence and a daytime contact number. We plan to run this story Friday.

Thanks in advance!

Unrelated note.

Whatever you are paying Darin Gantt...double it. He is the best Panthers writer in the NC/SC area.

I'm more of a lukewarm fan.

I started buying Yellow Tail and 5 Year aged cheddar instead of Chteau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac and Caciocavallo Podolico Cheese. I also drive my S600 to the Game instead of my Land Rover to save on gas.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Yellow Tail...ew.

I've been here too long

[Scrumtrilescent]

I didn't even notice it either.

I like to roam the new Wal Mart in Tega Cay hammered after a Panthers victory in my Panthers jersey. Great place to eat away a beer buzz and you get to try all the new snacks.

Since I will be in Chicago over the weekend, I have reserved a room for 15 at Timothy O'Tooles Pub to watch the game.

If these two awesome tidbits do not say I am a Huge Fan, well, good luck finding somebody else.

I don't know if there are any die-hard fans here. But we do have plenty of sarcasm. Help yourself to some.
