Bloc 5
One thing that is certain is that the Kingz in whatever shape they take the field next season can count on the support of their very own fanatics in the shape of Bloc Five.
The several hundred singing chanting fans have become a feature at home matches and are recognized by management as being an essential part of the Kingz mix.
“Our fans are everything, without them we are nothing,” says Chris Turner.
He says the Bloc Five rowdies have helped attract fringe fans who come to the football because they see it as a good night out.
They also make up a large proportion of the 400 strong fan club and wear a sizeable number of more than 600 replica kits sold by the club.
