Who are Ya! Bluewave Supporters Special - the people in the stands... Nash and Bay

As well as bringing you the latest Kitchee related news and gossip, we'd also like to introduce you to some of the people that make supporting Kitchee such good fun. 

Building up to the new season, every day this week we will bring you some quick introductions to the Angry Boundary Street faithful, the loyal faces in the crowd who can't get enough of the Boys in Blue, and ask them about their hopes for the upcoming season.

Today we start with two passionate long term fans, Nash and Bay.

Nash Tang - Drummer Extraordinaire

1. Why do you support Kitchee?
It was 2012 when I choose to support Kitchee, and it was an easy decision to make. I have seen a few of the other local club games before, and their play can hardly impress any audience. Lack of team work, skills, stamina, and the defenders are all doing clearance without aiming to their teammates. I mean they have no concept of possession, just kick the ball to the front and hope their front men can pick it up. So you can imagine how surprise it was to me when I saw a local team that are good at keeping possession with excellent team work

2. When was your first Kitchee game?

2012 when they play against Arsenal. A 2-2 draw with Yago and Cancela scoring for Kitchee. Arsenal needed a late equaliser to save themselves from defeat.

3. Who is your favourite Kitchee player (ever)?

Belencoso, his never give up attitude is extraordinary.

4. What is your most memorable moment/day as a Kitchee fan?

Last league game of last season, when we beat the Eastern side convincingly, win the league trophy, and secure our ACL spot in one match! It was a special day to Kitchee!

5. What was your worst day as a Kitchee fan?
The day when a foolish coach fired Belencoso our AFC top scorer and hero.

6. Who do you hate more - SCAA or Eastern? Why?
This is a hard one, I guess its Eastern. At least SCAA know how to arrange home and away games properly in Asian level games.

7. What is your favourite Kitchee song?
Come on Kitchee, oh we love you, come on kitchee, the boys in blue.
8. Prediction for this season?
It will be even more challenging then last season, as R&F is spending big money and they have real home advantage now. Eastern will try everything to revenge on the other hand. In addition, we will have to fight at ACL so distraction to the league is unavoidable.

Yuen Wing Yan (Bay)

1. Why do you support Kitchee?
2. When was your first Kitchee game?
I think it was 2013-2014 season, I used to work in Mong Kok and there was one time my colleague asked me if I fancied to watch some local football and have few beers and that sounds like the perfect thing to do after work. It was AFC game vs Tampines Rovers and I was immediately attracted my the atmosphere and to be honest I was surprised by the quality of the local football. Therefore I decided to come back to watch the games regularly, and since it was a Kitchee game to get me into local football, that's how I became a Kitchee fan.
3. Who is your favourite Kitchee player (ever)?
I guess if I have to pick one it has to be Lo Kwan Yee. I like his passion and always shows a strong leadership at the team.

4. What is your most memorable moment/day as a Kitchee fan?
There're too many memorable moments it's hard to pick, but I guess I'll pick the recent Lam Ka Wai header vs Hanoi (to seal a 3-2 victory in extra time) - there was tears in my eyes!!!

5. What was your worst day as a Kitchee fan?
Not just a day but in general, the period when Abraham Garcia was the manager. He was so bad at the job and the the fans were very disappointed and angry every game - no matter whether we won, lost or drew. I don't think any of us had fun watching football around those time.

6. Who do you hate more - SCAA or Eastern? Why?
Eastern, two words: Peter Leung

7. What is your favourite Kitchee song?
Sha la la la la la la we are the Kitchee boys

8. Prediction for this season?
Hopefully we can win the title again but I'm afraid I think it's gonna be a lot more challenging this season with teams stepping up with their new signings. I hope we'll sign someone else classy like Vadocz in January for ACL.
