Stanmore Business Crew - AKA CCM supporters in the inner west

[dibo]

Turns out there are four CCM supporting households in the space of about a kilometre in Stanmore - a little pocket of yellow in a sea of sky blue (and I was on the front page of the Inner West Courier in Grand Final week... I'd rather not talk about it...).

There appear to be three on one street and one just around the corner in Petersham. There's another further over in Petersham but he's moving back to the Coast any day now.

Are there any other coastie expats in the inner west who'd be keen on getting a regular thing on in a local pub?

Cambridge St here. I usually go to the Queen Victoria Hotel on Enmore Rd to watch A-League matches, got plenty of TVs set up there.

thought we must have been starting a hooligan crew with the title as the old sheffield united crew were the blades business crew relieved to find out it is more innocent

Marrickville myself, might find myself watching away games in Queen Victoria Hotel in the future.

Look out for me at gameday. I'll be the one wearing a Mariners top

We've just had an ex-Coastie, CCM supporting mate move back from Melbourne to Surry Hills too, from my football club there's another in Maroubra, another in Gladesville, another who I don't know where he is but he plays for Sydney Uni so he's not going to be miles away. There are quite a few of us floating about. We should get shirts done up or something.

We used to have the joking tag that given we're all la-di-dah latte sippers that we're the Mariners' Cultural Elite - before football we have rucks and chablis - and then we have the Stanmore Business Crew nickname.

Any bright ideas for a Sydney-based supporters' group name? The Sydney Regiment (of the Yellow Army, natch).

I like The Sydney Regiment, can be inclusive to any Sydney sider who wants to watch a match with us not just inner west folk. Mariners' Cultural Elite and Stanmore Business Crew do have a nice ring to 'em though.

Another vote here for The Sydney Regiment...

Good stuff guys

 

[FFC Mariner]

Sydney Regiment.

Shirts would be a nice touch too.

Try and avoid the rolled up chinos though. That's more a N Shore thing

Should ask the Official Supporters Club if you can be a Sydney Chapter?

I do remember mentioning it to Erin Morrow (and possibly Fish) at one point, but honestly I can't remember when or where.

We're mostly inner west, all vintage trainers, jeans and black t-shirts with designer stubble, hair in our eyes, furrowed brows and broody good looks while we struggle under the weight of our creative passions and depression and the endless search for good quinoa.

Well, and there's me - with the capacity to be socially awkward in an empty room and with all the charm and charisma of a traffic accident.

We sound like two very awkward peas in a pod.

Also I whipped this up while putting off starting an assignment.

The anchor is from the City of Sydney logo incase you're wondering.

 

[MrCelery]

Are we not the Mariners? Regiment is Army. Better off taking a Navy term surely. How about The Sydney Fleet? Or the Sydney Flotilla? Of course we could have the Sydney Squadron, but let's not go there!

 

[dibo]

You might have noticed the "Yellow Army" name being?

 

[eenfish]

I like Regiment. Yellow Army, Regiment, it fits. I already chucked the anchor on there, thats got Mariners and Sydney covered.
