Good on them. An actual supporters group not founded from the clubs bling.

But The P.o.r.t ain't funded by the club's bling. Where does that myth come form? They were just a group of football fans who met over a beer and decided to form a fans group. Have a listen to Devlin's chat to them below. Then yeah they approach the club to make sure they are okay with it, help to try sort out a designated standing area in Penrose blah blah. Probably not that different to how the Yellow Fever started.

I think one of their main guys was a a fan in the old Bloc 5, with the Knights or something. Good to hear Doloras mentioned they are already policing what sort of people join their group. All I've read is that they seem welcoming, and open to all genuine football fans. I doubt it will be them who gives the left wing ultras grief at Mt Smart.

For sure the politics of Tamaki AFC are a million miles from my views. But that's not soo much the point. It's just the thought of having any fan group, based heavily off politics loudly airing their views pre, during or post match. It's just going to lead to trouble, and I don't think that's a good thing, when there is so much to be excited about with a 2nd NZ team, and the big exciting derbies.

I mean would ALL Nix fans be hunky dory with 10 Chloe Swarbricks walking up the ROF causeway waving Palestinian flags chanting 'from the river the sea', joined by 10 Marama Davidsons chanting 'down with white CIS men'. ALL the Nix fans will just happily walk by smiling without a rude word spoken? The same on the way out after some have necked 5 beers?? Who hasn't post match seen a half drunk fan grab some merch like a big flag, off an opposing team's fan, that leading to bit of an 'agrument'.

The rugby dominant media would just love to film some scuffles or worst at these new novelty soccer matches. If Doloras's young socialist comrades are there primarily to watch the football great, but it's not the right place to have emotional politics as the main focus. They will just find trouble.

Edit - and yeah AFC are owned by a billionaire, but news flash Rob Morrison is also a very wealthy man, and I suspect a capitalist. A multi-millionaire? It's all just varying numbers of zeros at that level.
