Who knew, the way to get press coverage of the A-League wasn't about results, it was about getting a bit of drama.
But this is bullshark. Newshub are being played. "Terrazza d'Azzurro" are NOT the properly organised AFC fan group (they're provisionally called The Port). TA are nothing but a Twitter account which has been *claiming* to be "the active support" with no evidence that there's anything but one troll behind it. There are hardly any Italians in Auckland for one thing!

(edit: just noticed mrsmiis already pointed this out, but I should note that no-one on the AFC Facebook has heard about these people either)

Have they still not finalised a name? Giving the Fever a run on being the most shambolic supporters group if nothing else. 

Also "The Port" is terribly bland. Like the club's name. So I guess it's perfect.
