[QUOTE="redunderthebed, post: 198168"] I tend to disaggree, I went to an ethnic school and because I am not ethnic suffered alot of bad blood and almost racism because I was Australian. These were the third generation ethnics who speak with an accent despite the fact thier parents have an Australian accent. They were all very much Glory supporters with all thier large extended families going to the games arranging all thier stupid chants...nothing has changed with the Glory as most Australians go to AFL, various expats and Australians who don't like AFL go to the Super 14, the British largely follow the Premier League and the ethnics still have a monopoly on the majority of the Perth Glory crowd... There is a reason the Glory aren't supported despite the growing interest in soccer over here, it still remains the region of the ethnics like it has always been.... I don't see myself ever supporting the Glory in its current form unless thier is a tremendous groundswell of support out of its current ethnic bases.... [/b][/quote] How can their be a groundswell of support if people dont go to the games......there is nothing stopping you getting a scarf buying a ticket and going to a game,that is why "effniks" might have monopoly on the games because they bother to turn up! they also more likely bring there family too.I know people over there that go to Perth Glory games Aussie as they come and have never complained about getting **** from people because they are Aussies. I'm as anglo-saxon as the next guy and i have NEVER got crap from people turning up to games regardless of race.Maybe you are scared of something that isnt there. Its called passion you might want to sit there quietly and watch the game but dont bag those who dont.People support teams in different ways so long as its not violent or dangerous you should respect that. @Sanzar You can talk about European and South American football (the vast majority of it the fans behave and are peaceful that is never reported because it doesnt sell papers or make "sexy news" ) all you want but its not applicable here to *Australian* Football tarring Australian Football and Fans with the same brush is patently unfair.
