Is there anyone on here that already has a club or is neutral that will actually support one of these clubs?

I hope you lads have all signed up on GC17 and fired off emails to everyone who might be slightly interested to do the same.

I have to agree with this, it's going to be generational thing. As long as I live in Vic, My kids will support the cats. but if I was to live interstate, than I probably wouldn't be so hung up if they wanted to support the "local" side.I don't know your age funk, but whilst you and your mates will keep supporting your current clubs, your kids will follow the Gold Coast. You will see the other clubs at Auskick slowly replaced by GC jumpers over 5 or so years. This is happening is Tasmania for the Hawks.
It is the 'Generational Effect' (as stated by some Hawks supporter who reckons that in 20 years most of Tassie will barrack for Hawthorn).
Not one response from someone saying they are behind the West Sydney team...
Big suprise there, does anyone AT ALL give a shit about this proposed team???
Joke
It sounds like many foundation members of Gold Coast AFLFC will be second-team supporters. While that may be a foundation for a new team, its not a solid foundation and any succesful club would need to replace their initial core bunch of second-team supporters over time with true local supporters who traditionally dont follow AFL.
So I say to those who will be purchasing Gold Coast memberships in their inaugural season, your financial support will be welcome but after a few years the club will politely ask you to please go away.

Geelong will always be my number one team, West Sydney will be my official second team...
My second team changes a lot,sometimes swans, saints, tigers, dogs...
Sydney will always be my team, however I will support Western Sydney as my second team.
Good to see some overwhelming passion for this new start-up team.
Sarky comments aside, will the WS team be anything other than the (mostly) fairweather Sydney AFL fans having them as their second team...
When I say fairweather, I am referring to (most) AFL fans living in Sydney, not fans of the Sydney Swans...
4,000 people signed up in 2 weeks. Great start
More than the Kangaroos got in 2 years, but that's to be expected.
An AFL club with 4,000 potential members / second team supporters ...
if they haven't signed up yet, I doubt they're gunna.
it will be a long wait and lack any passion whatsoever.
