Derby Tifo | MELBURNIANS OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

[MazaTheHeartFan]

I know I the Milan derby last season ac Milan protested when inter weren't aloud to have banners and a TIFO, would be cool if victory would do something because it doesn't just effect us it effects the, as well.

Surely something needs to be done

Shattering for all those lads who gave up their time.

One of you guys should sign up on the Victory forum and present your idea for a joint protest

I have been talking to a few Victory Supporters about this situation at work... Seems they are pissed with how the FFA and Vic police treat the supporters here in Melbourne...

 

Its time to stand up as a supporter group.. I'm on board with whatever is decided...

The Visitards had a multi level banner that they had made to use at their last game against Sydney but decided to keep until the derby. I imagine that they are in the same position. Given that our love of football unites us almost as much as their stupidity and arrogance divides us, a joint protest would be a powerful statement.

Historically the NT has struggled to be able to get permission to perform Tifo's at our Home Derbies... 

 

Of course the most famous example of this being in Season Two when after being denied permission M3 had to sneak in the Pullover they had painted of a Turd in a Red and White Scarf (I am not joking BTW it was literally a painting of a turd) .

 

Which ended up being gloriously ripped apart by security as they attempted to deploy it upside down midway through the second half of the match... of a very famous Heart win.

Who has the balls big enough to sign up to their forum and suggest this?

 

I would but I enjoy lurking and don't feel like getting IP banned

[HeartinHobart]

One thing that I've learnt from this situation is that this club still has great active support. We saw yarraside and those involved provided the club with both great support and great tifo's and banner.

I for one questioned whether this level of time and effort would continue under the rebranded club. You guys have certainty proved that. So well done to all involved in making this tifo... Hoping we'll see it in the near future.

I'm sure if we bring the victory fans around for a drink and a BBQ they'd be more then happy to support us

Very creative way to cover security in shit

at the end of the day we are all football fans together

[sheepdog]

Some of them might be down for it. Would be strong message to ffa in a massive game.

On the other hand, if the same thing happened to them I would more than likely still be laughing my arse off about it.

[belaguttman]

Last season the dispute was between NT and Visitors management, this is between FFA and Vic Police so it affects all fans here equally.

Don't they refuse to acknowledge our right to exist?

 

Good luck.

[Tesla]

TBH it might satisfy their ultra dreams so I could see them being down for it. It would be a bit gay though if you ask me.

Don't worry enough of those inbred cunts read this forum and are reading this right now. Just make a suggestion and it'll be relayed back to their ultra members on their forum. I've heard they love coming on here and picking people's quotes to have discussions over.

Just had a look on Victory's City thread. A few of said this probably effects us but the other half have said tough titties. Doubt a stadium wide protest is possible. I think a 45 minute sit down protest from us would be somewhat noticed.

We should have supported then in their protest against Visitors management last season for the same reason.

[strider]

Lol at people suggesting a silent protest. Like anyone will notice us being quiet over the 22,000 Victree supporters

Talk about sticking it to them

Double points if you were wearing a heart/city kit whilst doing the deed. Triple points if you have terra or engelaar on the back of said kit.

[belaguttman]

That's a bit offside, are you Michael Mifsud?

Game over if it was a Sibon kit

[Torn Asunder]

I wouldn't entertain joining forces with the tards over any matter football / active related ... as Dio once sang, "Sleep with the devil and then you must pay. Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away."

So is the poles thing feasible?

[bt50]

No. Tifo is much too big.

[Embee]

So is the poles thing feasible?

 

Unfortunately not.

 

The Tifo is simply too big to be displayed with poles

[agoalie]

I was about 3 people away from the guy that set off the flare at the away game, cops pulled him out pretty much within 10min. Whole reason about 1 flare at the away game is a joke.

[AaronAV11]

If the FFA and vicpol change their minds before the last derby, can we use it then or was it specific to this match?

[belaguttman]

What if it were cut into 2 and displayed as 2 adjacent tifos?

[bt50]

Last derby is an away game. So no.

Regardless, pullovers are supposedly banned for all future games.

[belaguttman]

I've just sent this email to Mr de Bohun and suggest that others consider something similar

 

 

Dear Damian

 

I am writing as a 58 year old general admission season ticket holder of the Melbourne City franchise to express my dismay at the late decision of FFA to ban the proposed Melburnians tifo at this week’s Melbourne derby. I do understand the safety issues and I do understand that there have been instances of ‘derby warriors’ who only attend derby games and who set off flares and smoke bombs in active areas. I believe that this has been used as a reason to ban, at late notice, the proposed tifo display. My concern is that there seems little effort (as an observer at all home games) on behalf of either Vic Police or security to work with active groups to stop this problem. I was appalled at one recent game to witness disproportionate force by Vic Police to deal with a fan standing on a seat that resulted in the use of pepper spray. With reference to this weekend it seems that active support obtained the franchise permission for the tifo and spent $5,000 of their own money constructing it only to have permission withdrawn at the last minute, effectively fining all members of active support who had contributed. This appears to be an arbitrary and selective group punishment of a new supporter group of generally well behaved active young supporters, the very group that provide what is unique about the atmosphere in our game. It appears that both FFA and Vic Police would prefer a sanitised polite but colourless AFL type of joyless support from fans, if this is the case I’ll just watch the games from home.
