The only way I seeing it working is by having a couple of capos and a core group who can commit to every home fixture. Tickets will also need to include a notice informing all slackers and arm-folders to kindly nick off.
By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

I can absolutely.. get behind.. someone like him. I would definitely bear all I could.. to support the socceroos. You can even say that I would put myself into hairy situations to make sure the support is as good as it can be.. :d Edited by victoristar: 24/2/2015 08:12:37 PM

The problem is at away games you have a few expats there for novelty value and the same group of 15-20 guys who are old enough and rich enough to take a week off work whenever they feel like it but have been drinking non stop for about 3 days. Not conducive to chants but great fun.

As usual with these things, if the A-League and NPL supporter groups don't get behind it or something has not signifigantly changed in how the latest group is operating then it will not get off the ground for more than a season. We'll get to 2017 and another group will pop up for a crack. Edited by melbourne_terrace: 14/8/2015 10:43:12 PM

Australian cities are so far apart that it is difficult to get the same people to all the matches. It am pretty sure that Perth is as far from Sydney as the moon, and has just as little to offer.

1st Rule: No club colours. Should either be in green or gold and maybe a dash of blue
2nd Rule: Go back to Rule 1
Remember Active support for Australia could be made up by more than just people from A-League Active supporter groups. It could contain ones who are passionately waiting for a future A-league team or support clubs in the lower tiers via NPL or state.
It should be bigger than the some of its parts not a dick measuring contest on which A-League Active support is better.
The national team is bigger than that.

The Socceroos Active Support is a concept to encourage fans to be vocal, active supporters, not just another backside on a seat.......
We don't care which "group" you associate yourself with whether its an "official" group or just a group of mates who regularly attend matches.

Active support club level in Australia is all for image, show, and who can upload a photo on FB or Instagram and brag about it for days on end. You just need to see Ultras Mentality Australia FB page for proof. These people have no hesitation jumping club to club, using the example of ex-Sydney fc fans (former active members too mind you) and now proud WSW/RBB members, because they are geographically “closer to home”. It’s these same people that do not have the love, the passion to support the Australian National team at the highest level. You ask me why, because they have nothing to gain from it. it’s not cool. Mexican waves are not cool, singing aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi is not cool, but rather embarrassing.
Another problem is Australia is too big geographically, active members would be lucky to do a few away trips a year I take it? Why would they to go through the financial hassle of watching Australia be wherever interstate, if they do not care, nor have the passion… they would rather buy the latest clobber to show off.
Can you really see a NT, RBB or Cove member standing side by side without their complexes getting in the way? I can’t.
That is just my 2 cents, and I am not painting everyone with the same brush, cause there are people that can do both, but that is a very small minority.
All the more reason why it can work! And I disagree on the bolded point, there are more who can rise up and be passionate in supporting our country and indeed that's how and why many of us got into the 'local game' in the first place! It's just harnessing, organising that, that's the challenge. Bimbi wrote:Couple of points
1. I thought the name terrace australis was excellent....should continue
2. Don't try to make it too complicated...it's not a club team you see every fortnight so keep it simple
3. As a Socceroo supporter of over 5 decades I can safely say I've heard and seen it all so anything new should be spontaneous
4 get rid of the Union Jack from the flag...should be discarded with the oi oi oi Agreed with 'Terrace Australis' - though a shame G&G Army went by the wayside - there is a void, room for just this kind of active support for our NTs and if these guys seek to fill it, seize this opportunity, then all power to them! And =d> awesome man, great to have you on the forums - given you have heard and seen it all, then it's great to hear from and receive the wisdom from such supporters. I'm sure you have more insights as to what works and what doesn't - people would love to hear it! Edited by GloryPerth: 26/8/2015 10:13:37 PM

LK wrote:Hey guys, I am one of the admins from a new concept page based on improving the support of the Socceroos and our other national football teams, just wondering if you guys can give this a bit of support and share it with your friends please.... Cheers
SOCCEROOS ACTIVE SUPPORT For Australia, by the Fans FB: www.facebook.com/socceroosactivesupportTwitter: @socceroosactive A fully transparent, independent, Australia-wide concept by the fans for the consistent and continuous improvement of Active Support at all Australian National Team/s football matches. We are in no way connected to the FFA. The page has been set up to further the communication between fans all over Australia (And the world) in an open, honest, healthy and productive manner. We ask people to be courteous and keep posts relevant and to the point. We welcome debate and discussion on relevant issues regarding our national teams, but post subjects will be kept predominately to the Active Support side of things. This page is run by volunteers from all over Australia. We are not here to be abused. If you're the kind of person who wears your Green and Gold with pride and puts in the best effort you can into supporting the National Teams. Then we want you! Feel Free to post, comment, post photos, videos.... We want your input! Welcome LK - Just on the 'keep it simple' tips coming from forumites - You guys just posted on your FB page one of the well-known chants from Australias WC06 Games - the 'Aus-tra-li-aaa na ni na nana naa' chant and that's a great example of simplicity and familiarity for wider football fans. Most when hearing it, may recognise it and even join in. The WC06 is what I mean - MANY Aussies got on-board with football in Australia through the Golden Gen and their performance at WC06. The recesses of those fond memories, qualifying after 32 years and performing on the big stage - they will never leave!
