Jamieson insists things will only get better as active ladies groups get better exposure, however she admits there is still plenty of work to be done in terms of promotion and making sure the games are accessible for fans to be involved.

“I think social media presence improves every year but there’s still a long way to go,” she said. “I think Brisbane Roar are gradually getting better at their promotion of the W League which is hopefully attracting more fans.

“Unfortunately Thursday night games are hard to get to or further away venues can be a turn off for the non diehard fans.

“It’s great for TV viewers but 6.30 on a Thursday night is far from ideal. I still think there is a very long way to go to attract the number of fans the product deserves.”

Jamieson was positive though about the future of active female support and called upon the relevant authorities to make sure they do everything they can to support it and women’s football in general.

“Better promotion and social media presence is a start,” said Mandy. “Kick-off times better suited to optimise fan engagement as well.

“Initiatives like 'Bring a friend for free/$5' or something along those lines.”

Jamieson was also keen to get the youngsters involved which makes sense because they are after all the future. She came up with some clever suggestions to bring the kids on board.

“Closer ties with local schools/football clubs to encourage kids to get along to the games even as a whole team outing," she said.

“Discounted or subsidised transport to far away games (Redcliffe). There are a hundred things each individual club could be doing - especially community based things.”

When asked what she loved about active support, Jamieson was straight to the point: “Everything apart from losing! Being with football family, the build up and anticipation for the game.

“Enjoying the football experience with my football friends/family. Helping to create an atmosphere at the games. And there’s no better feeling than your team scoring a goal and winning a game!”

Apart from Roar, Newcastle Jets are also improving their active W League support. A small but boisterous group turned up at Bankwest Stadium last Friday night and showed plenty of passion. 

The RBB in the past have turned up to W League Sydney derbies to support the W-League team, and it is hoped many will turn up on December 20 for the next derby, which precedes an A League game.

This trend is even filtering to the lower leagues with NPL powerhouse club South Melbourne having their South Melbourne FC Ladies Active Supporters whilst North Geelong Warriors FC have “The North Fans” who are active even for their women's local league team.
