    Those chants have been around for at the very least 15 years. Usually other teams change their chants all the time or for certain players but it seems the Glory supporters can't be bothered.

    I asked RWA if they could set aside a few seats for it behind the goal posts at the southern end, or in your part of the Eastern stand. No reply as yet though.
    It's been approved to enter the venue by the Stadium Manager, at soccer matches, its normally in the possession of an individual and they use it as they see fit. Maybe just bring it along and find a good position to put it in on game day?

    Otherwise maybe retire it until a more suitable fixture?

    Not sure, it certainly got the media attention it deserved last week.

    I agree with Gigs here; we do make quite a lot of noise. Do you sit in the East Stand? If so, it seems quiet because there's not much noise coming out of the West Stand at you. However, the Fox cameras in the West Stand pick up the East Stand's noise fairly well.

    I've even heard over the Sportears once a ref, during a break in play when he was getting a drink from a waterboy, mention "Loud here, isn't it?" To which the waterboy replied "No, they're quiet tonight."

    Hi guys,

    Re the banner, RWA got back to me today and they are planning to replay the Fox montage on the big screen just before the game and then pan to the banner which they will keep in the western stand as before. That will give it much better exposure than last week. I think that's a good compromise. As it was a key feature of the Fox montage I don't think it's as necessary as it was before to get it on the TV during the game. I guess the focus now is on getting the local fans behind the message and promoting the hell out of the Own the Force scheme.

    I have to say that I have been very tempted to start a 'F U A R U' chant in the stands. If it wasn't for Hansie's cool guiding words I may well have. But if things get nasty then all gloves are off!

    Keep it Tight..
    Keep the Force...

    But I must admit EFF You A R U has a better ring to it..

    I am amazed at how "Sweet Chariot" gains momentum at the Poms games.....

    Own The Force Fundraising idea

    Hi Guys

    Hot off the success of the IATWF Banner, I have been talking to Val and RugbyWA about a fundraising idea for the Own the Force campaign.

    What I am proposing is to produce (with Val's assistance) ‘I am the Western Force’ bumper stickers in two styles – one plain, just like the avatar many of us have, and the other with a club logo attached, hence we would have IATWF stickers for Kalamunda, Neddies, Cott etc eg;







    We would then sell these at Force home games and also at club home games as well. Please review the spreadsheet in the link below to see the cost breakdown. In the spreadsheet I have based my calculations on 700 stickers - 200 plain and a further 50 per club with logos. The 50 per club was a guestimate based on 6 teams (3 senior, 3 junior) with 20 players per squad and selling a sticker to roughly half of them.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxP...ew?usp=sharing

    I conducted a straw poll of some rugby friends asking what they would be prepared to pay. Responses ranged from $5.00 to $9.00. Cost to produce is $1.65 each. One suggestion I quite liked was putting some rugby stick figures on the sticker - such as in a lineout or scrum, but this is far above my abilities (hint.. val!).

    I've had some discussion with RugbyWA who are supportive of the idea but have not received final OK to use club logos.

    At this stage I have only looked at printing stickers for the premier grade teams. If these sell successfully, then we could approach the other clubs to see if they are interested in participating.

    With the money raised we could either

    1. Incorporate as a not-for-profit organisation and buy the shares. Not a terribly difficult proposition, just time consuming.
    2. Divide and share the money evenly between those clubs currently running their own initiatives.
    3. Pick a few club names out of a hat, and bestow a share on them.

    Should the Own The Force initiative fail and the money is returned, then we could donate the money to the WA Junior Rugby Union or some other worthy entity (RugbyWA legal fund?)

    What I am asking of you all is

    1. Are you willing to stump up some cash to help pay for the printing costs
    2. Can you assist with selling the stickers at Force game days and at club games (junior and senior)


    If sufficient interest (and money) is forthcoming then I will proceed to the next step. Of course, there is the risk that if we don't sell sufficient stickers to cover costs then you will lose a proportion of your money, but I think this is a pretty good idea..if I do say so myself!

    Any thoughts etc greatly appreciated.

    Hate to be that guy, but I would suggest passing it by someone at the Force. You would be using Force logos and symbols for nominal profit, and they may well fall under the IP we no longer own...

    Happy to buy if produced (and allowed to do so), but since I have no car, it'll have to go on my front window....and maybe I'll buy another for the back window.
