The Club is calling for all Brisbane Lions supporters across the country to join up to one of our official Supporter Groups.
Our Supporter Groups are all about providing our loyal fans from far and away with the best opportunities to get the latest news on upcoming home and away matches, live television and radio broadcast schedules of Lions games, tipping competitions, functions and special events.
The Lions have supporter networks in a number of different regions across Australia. For information on a specific Supporter Group, please contact them directly (details provided below).
Alternatively, you can contact the Club for general information or to start up a new Lions Supporter Group in your area.

Western Australia
The WA Lions Supporters Group is an active and passionate group of Lions supporters dedicated to providing fans the best access to the team and Club as possible. This year the WA group held a Players Function in June attended by senior players Simon Black and Mitch Clark. This wonderful evening in Perth provided supporters the chance to meet their favourite players, get some photographs and enjoy a night of good food and drinks with fellow Lions fans. The WA Supporters Group also hosted the traditional pre-match function at the Irish Club before the Fremantle clash in June and with lots of giveaways, the afternoon was a huge success! In 2011, the group also proudly sponsored senior players, Simon Black and Ash McGrath.
