thats cause when they play sturt no 1 goes cause their is no point every1 knows who will win and its boring and all the centrals supporters r following them around tryin to find a win...

OHHH i see we have no answer to the real question being asked ... so we go back to the old centrals are shit...well im saying if i was a sturt fan i wouldnt want to go watch them play ... the whole place just had nothing it was dead and plan down boring

To right "truth" this fake truth doesn't know what he talking about. Central's supporters don't need to search for a win, news buddy they already got one, or two, or maybe even three. And just cause there supporters are doing something good for there club, showing there loud and proud of what there team is doing right now. I think it's only a good thing for the league and every person should get out there and show there true colours. No matter what club you support.

Ok so where was the blue army the last couple of years? I guess they only jump on board when are starting to look better.

What the hell are you all talking about this thread has nothing to do with having a go at the junior program of centrals the question was why don't other club's get out there and be focal about there club in a positive way, cheering them on. Like the blue army is doing right now. Maybe your right if centrals stop winning will the fans still be there being focal, probably not but is any other club going to do the same, they don't even do it when there team is winning. You have to give props were props are due, the fact that at this point in time the blue army is the best support group in the league you have to give them that. Instead of having ago at a club that is trying to improve.

the blue army are doing a lot for the mens team and they are doing really well but for the womens well i think they need a few players to get a better crowd and as for the rest of the clubs get off your asses and start showing some support for your team no matter who they are playing

people only knock something that they are afraid of and they are afraid of the Blue Army and what it may mean when Centals play them

Scared of the blue army? get a life. I guess the 700 odd people that watched the sturt v forestville game the other week were just there because they had nothing to do. So the centrals crowds are getting bigger numbers than that? I doubt it.

The blue army is a great idea. It is bridging the gap between juniors and seniors. How many other clubs have juniors out watching their seniors play??? not many, most spectators to ABA games have nothing to do with juniors.

If you want to spark a resurgence of supporters out on saturday nights to the ABA, the place to start is with the juniors. The really young juniors will go out to school and tell all their friends what a great time they had last saturday and then you get friends coming out - not only increasing spectators out to ABA but increasing interest in basketball in the state.

If you want to improve the state of basketball you have to start small.

Centrals has started the trend, hopefully more clubs will follow.

aba interest. You obviously don't go to many games at other clubs because there are plenty of kids at other stadiums. I can't beleive that you guys because your senior men are competitive again think that you are the ones leading the way.Did you not read that there was 700 people watching the Fville v Sturt game. They must have all been pensioners.

Anyway, back to the topic, I think it is great that the blue army is getting behind their team, but i also question whether it is genuine, or simply jumping on the bandwagon?.?.?

Yes othe clubs may struggle to pull a crowd, not all though, Eastern regularly get several hundred people to their home games (not with the same passion as the Blue Army tho!)

does the Blue Army support the womens as much as the men, or are they simply following the winning team?

I agree that the blue army should get behind the girls like they do the boys but I would find it hard to see them coming up with something to cheer for when there woman get beaten by 80 points every game. And the fact that the strut vs. Forestville game got 700 people. How many times has that happened in the history of the league it's a great feat but it happened once what about the rest of the games they played this season.

Don't know couldn't make it for the game, Why? Were you trying to prove something by that statement?

Anyone can be a smart ass when there hiding without putting up a name buddy ... Lions will bounce back when reggie comes back and we will see who gets the last laugh...

"Lions will bounce back when reggie comes back" what about the rest of the central squad? Reggies out so lets just pray we can keep it close?

Centrals do have some great players but u cant tell me that they rely on Reggie to get the WIN. As a squad they will have to replace him as best possbile. Like every other team in the ABL.

Like Dr Dunkenstein said "whether it is genuine, or simply jumping on the bandwagon?.?.?" if it was genuine then the BLUE ARMY would of been formed years ago to help there team to get over the line.

Even if its to jump on the bandwagon its still great for the kids to go out and watch a good game of basketball on sat nights.

I sit with the members of the blue army and they are not all big mouths..i do disagree with the bad mouthing the refs and all but there out there to have some fun and support centrals..I also agree that they should be supporting the womens team a bit more. The womens team have a lot of juniors..and are working really well together. This weeks game against woodville should show some interest.
