Support
"Go, Go Manawatu!" as the huge sign would read, lofted high above the Palmerston North Showgrounds Oval by a crane, summed up the optimism and confidence that existed during the heyday of Manawatu rugby.
The current supporters' group The Bucketheads captures the spirit of the new generation of Manawatu fans. Their trademark is a bucket (usually green) with a piece cut away for the face, placed on the head. Renown nationwide, wherever there is a Turbos match, there are Bucket Heads in the crowd.
