The Wallabies Supporter Group

[FiveStarStu]

Hey all,

As blogged about on the front page, we're planning an Army of Gold for the 2012 tests and beyond.

Just thought I'd open a thread in case you've got a name for the group, an idea, a comment, a question?

Or if you need no convincing, get on board.

The Wallablokes?

 

[GaffaCHinO]

The "Mob" or The "Troup" as these are the names of a Group of Wallabies

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.

You could seize a huge amount of momentum if you had a figurehead like one of those famous players on board. Possible?

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Lol Matt Dunning could be it and the suppoters could be "The Friars"

 

[Swat]

This raises an interesting thought. If you could pick one guy to be a figurehead what former player would you choose? I think we should more go along the lines of VB with David Boon and the Boony Army. For me this player would be Filthy Waugh. The team could be the Waughiers and everyone could wear wigs of patchy long blond hair stained with blood. Would be awesome.

Samos pack of Sumos?

We could be the Official Qantas Wallabies Supporters Group and worship Radike Samo as our hero.

Everyone could turn up in black afros and face paint.

It would be great PR for Qantas.

please ban the suggestions of any name containing the word 'army'. there is so many friggin army supporter groups in australia already because it's such a lazy choice for a name.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Nick Phipps' contemporaries.

 

[Swat]

I sense a poll in the making...

The "Mob" or The "Troup" as these are the names of a Group of Wallabies

I was going this way, originally. Perhaps 'Gold Troups' or even 'Troup 23'.

Troup 23 i like

This one by a mile

Easy chant: the troup, the troup, the troup is on fire! We don't need no water we just need some beers! Beers mother fuckers beers! (okay, you may have to change the last bit but the first half is easy)

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Mother Trouper Beers?

People need to understand too, that this supporter bay will be located at an end, behind the goals.

Also, how do you feel about standing for 80 minutes? It looks awful and feels strange trying to sing en masse on your arse.

For those who know a bit about supporter groups and tactics across, the world. I see this being heavily English influenced (decentralized) rather then European (has a leader or commonly referred to as a capo). The former makes it nice as simple, however relies heavily on people wanting to engage and join in.

I've got no dramas about being behind the goal posts now that we've got a half decent kicker in JOC (James O'Connor) plus it increases your chances of being hugged by AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)!
