The "Blue & White Brigade" (BWB)
was first established in the winter of 2005. Conceived by avid followers
of the world game, it was innocently proposed to create a group that mirrored
the efforts of such groups in terms of colour and singing with those of
its peers in South America and Europe.
Two seasons into the A-league, there is no argument from those in the
media, players and supporters of the game around the country, that BWB
is the benchmark in terms of
• Numbers
• Colour and
• The atmospheres generated on the Australian sporting landscape.
Often, the question is asked of what is necessary to be welcomed into
The "Blue & White Brigade" (BWB). Maybe this can be answered
by understanding the meaning of the ‘word’ brigade.
Brigade (n.) "A group of persons organised for a specific purpose"
What’s the football mentality of those
who live and breathe BWB?
Essentially the football mentality of those who stand in BWB has always
been about generating ‘active support’ for the boys out on
the park who represent our great city. Broken down it’s about
• 100% participation, 100% co-ordination, discipline
• respecting the game of football
• respecting the capo
BWB was never created to
• market the game of football
• to represent the north terrace
• to police the north terrace
• to fill a void for the those with hidden agendas
The mentality that exist should never be compromised at any cost. If you
believe this, you should stand with bwb and fight the apathy that exist
around you.
ACTIVE SUPPORT = REAL SUPPORT
*Note: BWB remains an unofficial supporter group and totally
independent of Melbourne Victory Football Club.
