Even in member areas there's randoms that more than likely aren't Broncos fans, but football fans in general who are there just to see a game as it's their only option (I mean who wants to go to Skilled? hint: No one). I'd like to see a Den-style area too.[/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Calibri]I am involved with the Sydney Stable (supporters group) and you are right- reserved seating is the death knell of supporter groups. It is IMPOSSIBLE to coordinate a group booking – it is worse of course down here where we would have to do it in 10 different stadiums. [/FONT] [FONT=Calibri]BUT there are downsides to General Admission in that [/FONT] [FONT=Symbol]· [/FONT][FONT=Calibri]Firstly, it is usually the crap seats (we are constantly having to sell the idea that “what you give up in the view of the game you more than pick up the atmosphere of a block of fellow supporters”)[/FONT] [FONT=Calibri] [/FONT] [FONT=Symbol]· [/FONT][FONT=Calibri]Secondly, being General Admission you can’t stop the opposition hecklers from intermingling (This is a chronic problem in opposition territory- probably much less so in Brissie). I usually turn up 5 minutes after gates open and spread my flags over seats / grass to scare off the opposition, and attempt to stare them down if they want to be narcs and sit in the middle of us. Always a pain.[/FONT] [FONT=Calibri] [/FONT] [FONT=Calibri]Getting a chant going is HARD WORK (as I try to get them going down here from time to time). As for gimmicks like broncos hankies and the like- leave me out! I like the idea of big flags, but maybe that’s just me ‘cause I make them all! We have a reasonable number of banners as well. Given the Suncorp Stadium aversion to these they are can’t really be much of a rallying point, so all we are left with is chant champions, t-shirts and waving-things.[/FONT] [FONT=Calibri] [/FONT] [FONT=Calibri]I don’t know the answer – although I suspect it is as simple as winning games again.
