The A-League doesn’t care about active fans

Football Federation Australia’s latest advertising campaign focuses heavily on fan participation. But while FFA officials publicly spruik the wares of active fans, it seems that they’re busy trying to restrict that very same participation behind closed doors.

One of the A-League’s new “fan-made” ads shows an elderly shop assistant unrolling metres of sky blue fabric, before the cutaway reveals the spectacular sight of Sydney FC fans flying their impressive Skyline banner before an A-League match.

That’s a sight you won’t see ahead of the much-anticipated Grand Final rematch between Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory on August 7, if word trickling through from Sydney FC fans is anything to go by.

II Dunce, this is a piece from Mike Tukerman on "the Roar" http://www.theroar.com.au/2010/07/23/th ... tive-fans/

It is best to draw our attention to the link and let us follow it or to quote a small section with the source acknowledged. Mike's written a good piece and if we want him to continue doing so then he needs people to read his material directly so that he is duly rewarded.

Cheers

One thing that gets me is last seasons ad encouraged fans to swing their scarves in support for their team. I can see in a couple of seasons time that very behaviour be considered trouble making.

Crowd control and stadium management seems to be enforced by people who sit in corporate boxes more and more these days. There is so little common sense that goes into it, it makes you wonder what the people who make these rules think of the common supporter, the very people who pay their salaries.
