Good post.

Now that the north terrace wont be going to Victory games, maybe they can go to miniroos matches, primary school assemblies, local church services, children's playgrounds fast food restaurants packed with kids etc. Then they can chant all their offensive swearing chants and allow flares to be ripped whilst throwing beer all over the place.
What? You say that sort of stuff isn't acceptable at those places? Then why would it be acceptable in a stadium full of young kids who love football?
What I'm getting at is it's not a big deal to me that they're gone if they don't understand that the game on the pitch is the main event and it's a game for ALL people, children included. I like the active support at matches, but I go to the match, and take my kids to the match to watch the FOOTBALL. I don't want to have to hear and explain offensive swear words or why there's a flare to a kid who just loves to play and watch football. Active support can be good, but it's not necessary to enjoy the sport and it shouldn't be offensive to the general public. By all means, sing, jump cheer, dance, beat drums, play music support the team, but don't swear and rip flares in a stadium packed full of kids who love football. If you can't control the few idiots in your group who step outside the parameters of what the league and club have set, then you need the security firms and the clubs supervision to do that job for you. I understand that you don't like the way they do it, but if that's the case, you've only brought it on yourself by not realising the football is the main event, and you've got to lift your own standards.
ps. take a look at some Argentinian chants if you want to get the whole crowd involved.    

why support needs to be "organised" and "choreographed" is beyond me.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

"Waaaah why can't we light flares"

As a Roar fan I have always loved the passion from the Victory supporters, it is a shame though that a few ruin the hard work done by many and bring a bad name for the rest of the group.

At the derby, I thought things had finally changed. Me and my mates watched as a flare was ripped, the entire stadium booed, and then people within the terrace pointed out the fuckwit to the authorities, everyone went back to the game.

That's what the club, the FFA, the cops, security, and lets face it, the majority of fans in attendance want. For the fuckwits to fuck right.

Then all this disbanding shit came out.

It's really funny how the NT, or those who claim to represent the NT, cannot see the cause and effect. You want to dance, sing, chant, move freely, wave your flags and have your tiffo? Stop protecting colossal arsehats who are breaking the law. It's pretty fucking simple.

And I don't give a fuck about this "no pyro, no party" bullshit. Flare's are illegal here, whether you like them or not. The FFA don't want them, the club doesn't want them, and based on the reaction of the 40,000 at the derby, the fans don't want them.

You won't self police? Then expect others to do it for you.

Do I feel bad for the majority of the NT that are there to support the club, have a good time and not get bogged down in this bullshit? For sure. But actions within the NT weren't changing.

Think Einstein said it best - "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Sums up the NT.

LOL at the bitters. Farewell, good-bye and f*ck off. Your little clubs in the lower leagues will welcome you back.

well said I agree this is coming from a passionate Victory member (South End active) I am glad to see the back of them so called morons.

Fuck them. The same bunch of NT morons came to Lakeside mid year and caused mayhem for absolutely no good reason. Video evidence clearly showed idiots from that group running onto the ground and on to the other side to taunt and fight anyone in their way. They had even advertised that particular game against South on their Facebook page. They used it as some sort of 'free hit'. Clearly a bunch of hard to handle, out of control, self centred, egotistical jerks. All genuine MV fans I know are glad to see the back of them. Make sure you close the door on your way out dickheads.

Absolute try hard flogs with a sad inflated sense of self worth. 

The only thing I don't understand is that doesn't the north terrace literally refer to the metaphorical terrace (is standing area) at the northern end of the ground? It's the location of where people stand so unless they ban the whole end or stop people from standing there the words "north terrace" aren't going away. It's not like the cove/squadron/rbb etc which are distinct names for the groups.

The atmosphere at the Wellington game was excellent. Banners/flags would be nice add those and then it would be brilliant. Flares and the culture that encourages them is an unnecessary distraction. The game of football is played on the pitch by 22 men or women. If you go there for some other reason then you shouldn't be going there. 

"against tremendous odds.... remarkable solidarity... repression... personal risk"

This has to be one of the most pretentious, unintentionally hilarious things I've read. I can see why they've given up after all the tremendous hardships they've endured attending football games. 

They are actually quite different to the RBB

The North Terrace are the football fan equivalent of inner-city hipsters. They wear the right clothes, sing football-ultra sanctioned chants and claim to be against 'commercialisation' and 'selling-out', when in reality its all for show: They support a club which is the epitome of modern football, just like the rest of us. 

The RBB are just plain fucking stupid.  

The club...and the league...will come crawling back????? To the North Terrace? 

Maybe they'll beg, ya reckon? "Please NT, we'll do anything, anything!"

Fark me. :D ..what a misplaced sense of self worth

Can't wait to hear all the complaints and outcry from fans, FFA and media alike when the atmos is shithouse.

-PB

Don't see a problem with them pissing off. It should be celebrated and anyone that thinks the game will suffer indefinitely is deluded. Someone else will step in over time and they will be a distant memory. Atmosphere already appears to be getting better with each game and will continue to grow.

I didnt read it but I figured it would be a massive wank piece in the same vain as an RBB wank fest and the piece would mention words like solidarity and culture while at the same time criticising the "authorities" like FFA and police who seek to "divide us" because they are so important that the FFA and police must devote 100% of their resources to keeping them oppressed.

Was i right?

My only question is, did the terrace meet and vote to disband, or did these guys just decide to quit, and shut down the group with them? If they did, that's pretty pathetic.

Also that statement 'we are more real than the contrived franchise club' has to go down as one of the most up-yourself statements I have read

Quick on the draw as usual. 

You should buy it, the majority of people go to watch and enjoy football not listen to some plebs who think they are bigger than the game. The game is better out with these delusional, self centred egotistical losers.

The ironing in this.

Jog on part time supporters!
Copped a 4-1 demolition and ran for the hills!!!!
Laughable 

What a bunch of dooshes. Try copyright the word 'north ' and 'terrace ' dumb fks. God why are all active fan groups such self serving knobs? An official statement... WE DONT REALLY CARE if you sing dance rip flares fight swear take your shits off or button up the top of your pollo. In fact why aren't you wearing your team shirts you hard mofos? 90 minutes 90 wankers.

"In doing so over the past 11 years we have staunchly maintained our independence from the club & commercial interests alike;
provided an at times radical, always critical, voice in defence of our game and fellow supporters against sanitisation and exploitation. 
We have consistently stood up for the rights and freedoms of active supporters. 
In doing so we have also created a community that is very real, more real to us than the contrived football franchise that essentially brought us together."

So Melbourne bro.. 

The irony in using the word 'contrived' must be completely lost on them. 

wow:laugh:

Nomadi/horda are fucking idiots. this just reads like a child chucking a tantrum. also when did horda/nomadi become the nt?? t
