Blatchys Blues
Bleeding Blue Since '99.
Origin II, 1999: a record crowd of 88,336 packs into the recently-opened Stadium Australia to watch NSW level what remains the tightest Origin series of all time. The Blues win the contest 12-8 to set up a decider.
It was a stormy night at the new Olympic venue, but the weather didn't dampen the spirits of one group of diehard fans out celebrating a mate’s birthday. Sitting together all matching in the now-famous blue wig and T-shirt – the Blatchys Blues were born.
What started as a novel birthday idea has since grown to become the world-famous sea of blue. More than 12,000 Blatchys now regularly take over the northern end of Accor Stadium and they can also be found in large numbers at interstate venues, such as Suncorp Stadium and the MCG.
Since 1999, however, one thing hasn’t changed: Blatchys Blues is all about being part of something fun, big and blue. People from all walks of life - passionate Rugby League fanatics, those new to the game and everyone in between - come together in an annual celebration of NSW, giving an extra voice of support for our state and team. The Blatchys are the passion, pride and party!
