neio Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 If this is the last time or whatever it is, I ask for one small thing that annoys me at every Derby we play at home 7pm both teams come out to warm up. Victory have a full active bay chanting them on, City have 13 people 6 kids and 9 security guards at their end Let's get there nice and early and get behind this team 100% from the time they step on the pitch for their warm up until the final whistle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For three reasons. One, the team isn't even competing yet. The game hasn't started so why waste energy for nothing. Two, why try to battle over music turned way too loud and announcements over the PA that drown out the terrace anyway and can't be heard. And three, by the second half everyone's cooked because they put everything into chanting for 50 minutes prior to the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not having an "active group" will be another aspect of our "identity." (Very traditional actually. When I first started watching football there were no "active groups." Just clubs, players and spectators.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) I don’t really understand why I keep seeing messages that active needs constant funding. Is funding the most critical for active?...personally I don’t care about the flags and banners for every game that’s just me. Buy a beer, stand up and sing songs - easy model. Create a funding raffle for the occasional derby banner and that’s it. Edited December 20, 2018 by Mr MO 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are all dweebs but we get the same treatment as any other club in the a-league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 IMO we have to cut them some slack - it's tough enough to be a city fan at the moment, let alone be part of the leadership group of our active supporters. In truth, whatever precise words have been used, they're probably just exhausted by the whole situation around the club at the moment. I'm not part of the group, or active, but I have every sympathy with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would certainly be a shame not to build on the fantastic efforts last night. The trick will be to netralize the them and us thinking, and to unite two different terrace cultures - what we might term 'Anglo spontaneous' and 'Mediterranean capo'. Neither is more or less worthy, and we need both to unite the terrace. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Good, strong name with a club association and a subtle connection to the word "city." Very nice. Well done those lads behind this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get into terrace politics, but there are not enough people supporting this club, without having splits in the terrace too. Whatever happens, we should all be pulling in the one direction - terrace, members and casual supporters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF33 Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 If this thread has taught me nothing else, it's taught me that active supporter groups past, present and in all likelihood future should probably get over themselves. It's a thankless task and admirable effort that these groups put in and God knows the administration of this club deserves a good kicking at times but Jesus Christ...they do it because they want to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
