Also, pub culture is really important with any supporter group, eg. getting to the pub a good 2-3 hours before hand, having several pints and singing. It's how you learn songs.

Based on some of the blokes I've met on here, I don't think that'll be a problem though...

I think the group needs a spiritual leader and should be named after them.

Could possibly be named in honour of: Matt Dunning, Al Baxter, Phil Kearns, Buddha Handy.

I'm not sure which other former players would be suitable, but they should probably be front rowers.

It has to be Buddha.

And Troupe sounds better than mob.

I was thinking 'The 23rd Man' as a general name, but 'The Troup' is growing on me. I wouldn't be averse to 'The Mob' either haha.

I don't really know what plans Gav and Stu would have outside of the Melbourne Welsh test or the Brisbane Bledisloe, but i really hope we can get some NSW and ACT lads to really push this thing for the Sydney Tests.

Given the amount of (important) tests that are going to be played there it's so important for whatever this group ends up being has a strong presence in sydney. We could have a real chance of getting a new supporter culture going for the national team where others have failed.

But for all cases:

- Find a pub (beer garden is favoured) and get there well before the game starts
- Deck the place out in as much green and gold as you can
- Bring as many mates as you can with you
- Start drinking and singing (This is where they will be learnt)
- Make a racket when you enter the ground
- Make sure you are all STANDING behind the goals for the whole game.

That is the foundations for a good supporter culture, everything else will come naturally if you get that right. God i hope we can do this!

"The Vault" - coz that's where the Gold is.

Also, it sounds cooler than calling it the Gold Army, Goldzone or Goldmembers.

Need a name for those who fill the Vault though as "WobSquad" becomes "Nobsquad" far too easily.

It would save confusion if you just called it the caxton st end.

Bar to seat in 5 min. also the NW corner has a bar that serves full strength beer.

No preference of which end at a particular stadium, I'll put the request too the ARU.

Btw. I've committed to the Melbourne/Welsh game and the Brisbane Bledisloe. Sounds like I'm getting dragged into the Sydney game too.

The Nobodies (because thats what we'd be, and we could take Eales on as our Patron).

Nobodies' Mob (bit of a double entendre), or Nobodies' Army (as in, We're nobodies' "army", but we're Nobodies' Army and we're an army of nobodies)

The Macropod Mob - macropod being the genus to which Wallabies belong, or just The Macropods.

The Golden Maul

GoldRuckers

Radiki's Ruckers (and do the afro wig thing as a uniform. might be a bit lame when he's not/no longer playing)

The Dunning Dogs (could bark and howl for effect when a try gets scored)

Whats the deal with Troup 23 by the way?

HEY - What about G Troop - like F Troop (remember the old tv show?) Wear Army shirts, they are olive green or Khaki which is a bit Steve Irwin ish which works too or source a green on green camo t-shirt with G TROOP on it - with Yellow berets so you have an easy to obtain and cheap uniform that should look kinda cool. You could set up an Army rank structure that way too for Platoons in different cities/towns, State based Brigades etc, helps with organisational and administrative purposes etc. Would let the real keen ones take a leadership role in organising their local G TROOP Platoon or the G TROOP [State] Brigade.
