definitely no ethnic names please i.e. "curva". my blood boils everytime i hear of crap on the news like the bonnyrigg white eagles vs sydney united ethnic bullsh*t. therefore, i am abosolutely totally emphatically against any nick name/ group name/ supporters stand name that has even the slightest reference to ethnicity or has suggestions of ethnicity or use words of an ethnic origin.
(also, no names with the words "hooligans" or "mob" or "hood" etc. please too).
can't think of a name now but will get back to yas.....
cheerioh lads,
tak

Annoyance #2. NO "BOYS" or "LADS" or any other excluding name. As if any organisation operating in Sydney in the 21st century is going to push that!?

Given all the sensitivities regarding ethnicity and European nationalism and all that in the Australian game as well as making sure the A-League's completely inclusive, I reckon the [something] Army, although not very original, is a pretty logical choice.
Unless someone's thought of something a bit more creative that suits everyone? Edit: Oh yeah, 'The Push' is already up there. Kind of a cool name, but I can so imagine some snotty thingy of a journalist alluding to the group's 'hooligan', 'violant' history just to have a cheap shot at the game. Best avoid eh?

And you think that the same media scum won't try to make a deal out of the use of the word army?
It doesn't matter if we call ourselves the Sydney Cuddle Club, they will still talk shit about us.
As long as we avoid anything blatant like ultras, hooligans, boot boys etc, they'll have very little to go on.

Well in an ideal world a snotty Miranda Devine type should give us some good press for researching and identifying with Sydney history and using a genuine and unique Sydney "group" identity. More so if we can get our hands on that "Port of Sydney" flag or whatever it is and make it our group logo - with slight modifications...

We know its all blown out of proportion due to the interests the reporters have in making "soccer" suffer. But we need to be slightly proactive in avoiding negative press. If we want sell out games and football to become no.1 in Australia then we need to break into the mainstream. I do not know if NSL even tried to do that but it failed and was a miserable failure. I followed football for years before I even knew there was a national league. The administration seems to be doing the right thing in giving us the national game we want, we shoudlnt undermine that good work and good will by going back and using these types of ideas from other competitions.

guys i agree that the media might have a shot at us even if we use cuddle boys so that doesnt worry me at all. i think the push is very unique to our sydney and will give us a unique character aswell, so keep the votes coming we're only 5 days from officially naming ourselves. oh and btw if anyone has any other good sujestions pls let the moderators know so they can put them up pretty soon as time is running out cheers
