What has struck me is that the mums and dads on the Littlest Hooligan's 8th grade team are getting organised to go to AFC games together. That's real community buy-in, in addition to the young lads wearing AFC shirts I see on game day.

Of course I won't go with them because the T-AFC crew will need my help, lol

That's positive, something that you dont really see a lot of from the wellington football parents.

Hey guys. Just want your opinion/thoughts on attending football games JUST to put forward your political beliefs? To me it’s absolute nonsense and I think it should be banned. I have some screenshots I took - unreal how they’re using AFC to try benefit their beliefs. Pretty sure political flags are illegal in the A league aren’t they? Not once have these people talked about the actual football. In fact they talk anything but.. Anyway, photos attached. Thoughts on this group?

Fan groups don't need permission to exist nor do they need a direct relationship with the club. I don't think its a huge deal and I'd really hope there's no one giving them any grief at games (and that goes both ways of course).

At the same time I also don't think it'll last more than a season or two.

I've hidden that post as it is reveals people's names.
Originally hid the photos, they have now been removed and name edited out of comment.

It's a private group on Facebook, what are you doing in it if you don't like them. Not your job to monitor what they do, leave it to the league/AFC to handle.
A fan group doesn't have to be aligned to management to exist, and it won't be the first time groups like this latch onto something bigger to voice their thoughts or political leanings. 

I don't honestly see what you are even worried about.

 I’m just wanting a discussion of whether or not football fans agree with this stuff or not. I’m not worried about it lol

The more the merrier 

It’s a 23000 stadium.

Doubt it will be sold out every game so lots of room to spread around

Mate, you are on our forum talking shark to me... We are extending a courtesy here with your posting. I've hidden your post with the pictures again because you haven't hidden the names at all, and you are outing a forum member's real name.

why make it personal, if you're genuinely interested in our opinion on something ask the question without disclosing other people's names.

Port Soldier go back earlier into this thread for a cursory read. The issue has been debated to death on here prior.

If you want a fresh debate about it, suggest you do it in the Port FB group.

It's come to this. I've had to pop in.

My banning fingers are getting twitchy. You've been asked to edit the post, if you continue to break the forum rules the post will be deleted and you will get a holiday.

EOM. EOD.
