I became a true, massive Giants fans about 2 years ago and have tried ever since to change the supporters to become one of the loudest, proudest fan bases in the SL. I have not succeeded so I have come up with a novel idea. Instead of changing current fans I am going to do everything in my power to get people to the games who want to sing and chant! And I encourage all of you to do it too!
Similar to you, I only got into the Giants cause relatively recently. 1st match about 2009, Got 1st season ticket 3 seasons ago etc. Prior to understanding the reasons behind the make up of the giants fan base I could never understand the 'apathy' from the stands.
It's not 'apathy' though. As previous post has said, the demographics of Giants fan base is markedly different to every other SL club. There is effectively a gap in the crowd make up of 16-30year olds. Have a look around at the next match. When you stop and look, it's quite startling how obvious this is. It's no surprise that the guys that are more vocal (that parts of that group are in that bracket or there or thereabouts).
That said, Home and Away, we can create or add to a decent atmosphere.
There's always ways to improve atmosphere. It can become difficult to not appear 'manufactured' though, and it know that irks a few on here.
