I've been a Raiders fan since stumbling upon them during Channel 4's NFL coverage of the strike-shortened 1982 season.
I lived within reasonably easy reach of their home grounds in the 1990s so got to attend a few games. The atmosphere at these matches was always edgy (at a minimum) and sometimes really bloody nasty. To be honest, looking back, I didn't massively enjoy them. However as the Raiders rarely sold out and were blacked out in the local area, going to matches was the only way of seeing their games.
The Raiders have been so bad for so long that nowadays I view them as a bit of a joke. Their apparent compulsion to make risky acquisitions never seems to wane.
Maybe next year, eh?
