Passionate Fans

Hands On Football @ 5:24 PM EDT
Us fans show our passion for Football in many ways. Most of us also have more than one passion. A mate of mine, Scott, loves Photography.

Gold Coast United on 60 Minutes

Hands On Football @ 9:17 PM EDT
Before our first home game a couple of weeks ago a 60 minutes crew joined our Supporters Club at the Dog and Parrot. They were there as part of a story on Clive Palmer, our club owner.

Gold Coast United Supporters Club

Hands On Football @ 10:12 PM EDT
The match against Fulham on Wednesday night was a great first hit out for the team and supporters at a fully open stadium. From a supporters point of view the home end was disjointed with pockets of people all over the place. Trying different chants and getting an atmosphere was difficult. But hey, it was our [.
