The Victorian Lions Supporters Group (VLSG) is a group of Fitzroy fans who now support the Brisbane Lions in the AFL and the Fitzroy Football Club in the VAFA. The Group acts a voice for Fitzroy fans in regards to the Brisbane Lions.
We have been fortunate on a number of occasions to have had our representations published in the major daily newspapers, and have received various feedback on these issues from the board of the Brisbane Lions as well as the AFL, Channel 7 and various journalists in the media.
While the VLSG has had some satisfaction on a couple of concerns, certain occurrences such as the issue of the Brisbane Lions records, as related to the Brisbane Bears and Fitzroy still continue to rankle with Victorian supporters. The VLSG is committed to preserving as much of Fitzroy’s identity in the Brisbane Lions as possible, as well as arguing for a fair go for those Victorian supporters of the Brisbane Lions, particularly from the media and the AFL. The number of Lions games in Victoria, the provision of a Fitzroy Football Club director on the Brisbane Lions board and most importantly the return of the “Fitzroy Lion” to the logo and official guernsey of the Brisbane Lions are also of concern.
The VLSG will continue to lobby the appropriate authorities on these matters, until our concerns are addressed. We believe there is strength in numbers. We hope that you will join us!
We urge all VLSG members and indeed all Brisbane Lions Victorian supporters to E-mail the VLSG where they see examples of inconsistencies by the media in relation to the Brisbane Lions.
