    The Vic is great pre Test but I wonder if it is too popular if we wanted to to do anything pre match?
    Our crew have taken to getting there between 2:30 and 3 on match day just to ensure we don't have to line up! Lines normally start around 3:15.
    Another option, although I haven't been there, is The Shed on Aberdeen St. It is a new place with Foxtel and I'm told it has really good beer gardens and apparently cruisey staff.
    www.the-shed.com.au/index.html They're open til 2am on Friday & Saturday nights (so no need to go finding another watering hole at an inapropriate time of night!) and they are a new bar so may be looking to strike a deal on a membership deal or the like? They have a whacky clause in their licensing which you can read on their site which would make a membership arrangement a bonus for them.
    And yes, they do have a country theme runing but at the same time they do have plenty of nubile backpackers walking about too....

    It's certainly worth investigating further! For home and away games.

    Anyone else got a suggestion?

    Getting back to the song, I reckon we should have a song that is derived from something like the "Holy Grail" -

    Woke up this morning from the strangest dream
    I was in the biggest Rugby club the world had ever seen
    We were marching as one
    On the road to the Super 14 grail

    Some teams were seeking victory and some we're seeking glory
    Its a short song but one hell of a story
    When you they spent they season trying to get their hands
    On the Super 14 grail

    Well you've heard about those great crusaders
    We run into them in round 11, it's said
    Yeah we'll raise highest score the comp has ever seen
    And we'll win that Super 14 grail

    All the rivals will be shattered, they'll be left in our dust
    We'll be so far ahead, they will never know what hit them
    There'll be nobody left but us
    As we take that Super 14 grail

    We will be full of beers
    And we'll be eating all the pies
    And those big South African Stormers, they'll be watching all our tries
    And you know what they say, yeah, nobody deserves to beat you guys

    You know, they've been searching for the best way
    To support Australian Rugby of today
    It's had it's highs and It's had it's low
    But they have somewhere else to go

    They have somewhere else to go

    And we'll have followed the Force
    God knows where they'll be
    But they won't be standing alone
    When all the other teams have been and gone
    We'll still be there
    We'll be the winners of that Super 14 grail

    oh yeah we'll be in the winners of that Super 14 grail..... 8)

    love the song but it a bit too long to remeber.... we need something bit shorter for the games
    need to follow in the Barmy Army's footsteps

    With all due respect to their perceived "success" in fanaticism, but I have no intention in being involved in anything that resembles that mob of mad buggers!
    Their style of "support" would alienate us from the vast majority of the Subiaco crowd.
    I'm all for us having cleverly worded and timely songs but count me out of the style of mindless ongoing dribble that the BA continuously rant all day.
    These people are professional fans rather than supporters and I think you all have the drift of my opinion on fans v supporters by now?
    Let's work on some material and manner that is uniquely WESTERN Australian!

    Yeah I am with Burgs on this one - the BA are exactly that - personally I think the FANatics are a poor attempt at trying to be the BA and anytime I hear Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie Oi Oi Oi - I want to throw up - its gotta be the most moronic chant i have ever heard.

I would like to see the Force supporters develop into a world class crew who can show support for our team even when they lose. One way would be to adopt a song along the lines of "You'll Never Walk Alone" for the crowd to sing on our defeats rather than the terrible hollow silence of a home crowd loss. Imagine the lift that our boys would get knowing that following the dissapointment of a home loss and going into a week of hard training and a road trip that their supporters still thought that they "were alright". Also imagine the bewilderment from the opposition going off the paddock with all these mad Subiaco Force supporters who still cheer and sing for their team in defeat!
    I still remember when Ponty lost in the second tier European Comp when I was back in the UK. We gave them a bigger cheer than the winning team and then the supporters all broke into Monty Python's "Always look on the Bright side of Life" - it was a great moment and it still brings a tear to the eye - sob.....

    That's true support!

    I believe God (John) has chosen the Oxford in Leederville as the pub of preference. Non-smoking and good function facilities won the day. He drops into JB's occasionally too.

    I heard a wee chant start at last Saturday's game and I'm afraid it started to sound awfully like the dull down beat chant of the Dockers. Douuuuuuuuuuuc..kerrrrrrrrrrrrs, Douuuuuuuuuuuc..kerrrrrrrrrrrrs. Not knocking the Dockers but the chant doesn't do it for me.

    Before the songs, great idea by the way and great suggestions LOL, it would be great just to come up with a common chant which we can all start from our different locations in the stadium. People pick up on easy ones quickly. Start small and grow.

    Go the Force
