As the women on the court continue to roll their southern conference rivals, the fans in the stands are having their own impact both on and off the bleachers.

Whether it's Torns chairperson Neil Grose tooting the free throw horn, or seven-year volunteer and coordinator Kristy Street leading the chants in the stands, the red and white fandemonium is real in Launceston.

"There's a sense of community about coming to watch the Tornadoes," Street said.

"Everyone gets together, everyone brings their family and has a really great time.

"I think it's the atmosphere of going to a basketball game, I think that's one of the main reasons we come back."

About 50-strong, the Torns' red army has been routinely praised by commentators for their boisterousness and off-court presence.

Their most recent display of fandom came during the Torns win over the Hobart Chargers at Ulverstone.

"The Ulverstone fans weren't overly appreciative of us being there ... we bring our support, but also our noise and sometimes that isn't well received," Street said.

"Especially from the losing sides."

Fellow volunteer coordinator Jan Van Asch said the only feedback of importance for the Torns fans was that from their beloved team.

"Sarah [Veale, Torns coach] actually told us the more noise, the better," she said.

"We know the girls and have gotten to know a few of them over the years as well.

"It's a family club and you've got to support the women in the sport."

Sitting second on the NBL1 South ladder, the Torns are primed for a successful second-half to their season. Van Asch said the side's stellar season has helped build the fanhood, despite the COVID cap on attendance at the Elphin Sports Centre.

"It's made a huge difference for our supporters," she said.

"Even when they go away, we probably have one of the biggest supporter bases of any teams in the southern comp."

Street added that no matter where the Torns sat on the ladder, the fans gave the girls in red 100 per cent of their adoration.

"Even when they were on the lower end of the scale, we were still here every week trying to pump them up," she said.

"We know that can't always reflect on the court, but they feel as if they've still got someone in their corner no matter what."

After COVID-19 wiped the 2020 season off the map, Street said it was great to have the Torns back and playing along with all the community-related ripples it creates.

"Corporates [boxes] are coming back, everyone's really keen to just get involved and be a part of something," she said.

As far as the supporters are concerned, they're the sixth women on the court.

"It would be so disappointing for them to show up and for us not to be here," Van Asch said.

"They're used to us now, they have big grins when they come in and give high-fives and fist-bumps."

The group hopes to expand its support base through an official supporters club.

"It would be something people could perhaps add on to their membership and then sit in a designated area and make a lot of noise as we like it," Street said.

"That's still sitting with the board at the moment ... it's something people can feel a part of when they come.

"It's not just the basketball atmosphere ... we bring the signs and honkers and the noise, but for other people to get involved as well, I think would be just brilliant."

There are even whispers of an official Tornadoes mascot that might make an appearance in the latter end of this season, or early next year.
