I think fans can be picked up having a few games in other locations, such as the scg (I agree getting outta Canberra would help this greatly).
Giant Yoyo for example, became a giants fan by being exposed to the giants at an scg game funnily enough.
These days fans come from all over the city, they don't need to have an I.D that they come from certain postcodes to be allowed to become members (there would be more Collingwood fans in North Melbourne and Footscray than roos and dogs fans these days).
I think grabbing fans from all over the city to build the initial supporter base will in a roundabout way, help to build the attraction of the giants in western sydney itself. People follow what's popular, so building that initial base to facilitate that, could be done in other more footy friendly areas as well. I'd also be trying to steal some newbie swans fans, as the swans have plenty to spare and just keep getting bigger and bigger.
