    Only concern with the hill espicially on the grass is people like to park their camping chairs at the top of there so as a group we will have to get down there earlier then normal. I actually can see this move working quite well espicially with your Newcastle lunatics already based there.

    This will be a big consideration. If you want to manage other people around you and not piss off a whole raft of people you have to be there before them now, so no staying at the Tenzo till half an hour before kick off and then wandering over. Will have to be set up in your location an hour before kick off. Managing others reactions (and hence the club response) will be key but if it works then IMO it will be the most effective way to grow the group because it will be so easy to just drift in from the edges.

    Other big bonus is seen by BOTH major stands, in past 2 locations you have been invisible to half the crowd.

    Better view from the hill, the seats down below are quite cramped in as they are not fold away seats.

    I reackon stuff em.
    Just don't worry about active support this year. Club don't care, FFA don't care, half the players don't care, half the mongs on here love bagging you, let alone your herald journos and readers.
    Have a year off, just go to the games and enjoy yourselves.
    You blokes put in way too much effort that doesn't seem to get anywhere near enough recognition.

    Your right with the stuff them attitude

    Though I think active should still happen

    Do it in any bay area of the ground you like

    The police and secos do not have the man power. To turf all of you out.

    Throw the ball back in the FFA court

    They created the problem

    While I agree they will just start throwing the book at people for being allegedly intoxicated on a licensed premises. Same bullshit they use at coast away to evict dozens of people each time we go down there.

    Nah, as long as you clap for goals, chant "dee-fence" when we don't have the ball and you "MAKE SOME NOISE" when the ground announcer asks you to "MAKE SOME NOISE" you'll be fine.

    My family has held a membership since season 2 in bay 3 on the aisle alongside the Squadron. My kids have literally grown from children to young adults sitting in bay 3. We have never felt unsafe, if anything the opposite. It has always amazed me that the riot squad and mounted police are required at football matches where there is only ever a few minor scuffles. We have changed our seats for the coming season to bay 59 to be closer to the singing once again but will probably stand with the squadron on the hill in support of your stand against what can only be seen as oppression.
