Okay, got the inspiration for this sunday night, and have since been working furiously on a forum called "YNSAF" which is an acronym for "You're not safe at the football" (ps, when you see it, and think why have i worked furiously on small forum like that, create your own phpbb account, and let the fun ensue)
The basic thought, is to get together people, and hopefully bring about a change in the public perception of football in this country, and a change in the way the media goes about selling there agenda riddled misconceptions to a public seemingly eager to discriminate something without the PC crap.
Any1 and everyone is welcome to join, but i ask that if you do join, please, keep it civilized, no bullshit with opposing fans, and try to keep the posts helpful. I'm hoping that this is the first step in a series of steps to get a pro-football mass media movement put forward in this country, rather than relying solely on people such as Micheal Lynch for passable football articles, and having things written by "journalists" such as Sowerby and Zed, constantly rammed down our throats.
For those who are interested, there is a starting point on the website, hopefully people can expand on it. At the moment, this does feel like a pipe dream for us to actually get out there and effect the mass media, but with enough co-operation, I'm positive that we CAN do something.

Oh come on, it's witty and filled wit irony ;D. Besides, the website itself isn't aimed at the general public, it's aimed at people who know a thing or two about football in the country, these are the only people who have the where-with-all to change football in this country. Even so, the website itself may only be temporary, depending on how much YNSAF takes off, also if it does PS love your avatar

Better name would be much smarter.
Media already struggle to interpret the game. They will misinterpret your forum

You may want to change the name. Anyway, I feel safer at the football than walking around Gosford on a Friday or Saturday night.

Fortunately in terms of name, it will only be a temporary one. I didn't expect it to take off at all so i just gave it a name i would be happy with, but so far, im actually getting a bit of response in newcastle and adelaide. not so much with melbourne, but fortunately i can move things along in the terraces there aswell, so we'll see. Im also hampered with sydney cos i can't get a spot on their forum :s
