some good points and bad points obviously from last night
For such a big game there were way too many cutouts in the middle of bay 2 not joining in.
As has been said C&R is slowly getting better. Still need to get Western stand involved.

Top idea. From about 7 or 8 rows back the intensity seems to get lost at the minute. 2nd Capo relaying the messages from the front should do the trick.Quote:

Singing/chanting in time with the Squadron is difficult in the Western stand. The delay between the squadron singing and the western stand is quiet long. when there are chants with clapping you really notice it.Quote:

First time I really noticed more than my son singing NTUA.Quote:

The problem last night was in the Western Stand you could not hear the Squadron start a chant - so we started our own and it got pretty loud at times. Agreed sync was impossible.
NTUA could be huge if done right, and possibly played several times up to kickoff.
Agreed. I was there and it felt like only me and my mate were chanting for the most part. The guys standing next to us just seemed like they were standing there to soak up the atmosphereQuote:

Last night aside, syncing is an issue in the Western stand. Unless you use visual ques with the clapping, which is hard, then the stand will always be out of sync until the end of the ground links us up with the chants.Quote:

The fast clap will probably never sound good because of the obvious laws of sound. The slow chants sound best, like "who are we". That could be slowed down to a word every 2 seconds, bit like how the member talks
Hate to say that Furns but in Western GS we couldn't hear you, but could see u gave 150% and .......F%%%$##g RBB did not stop and... loud as!! Next game we should provide everyone with a plastic whistle or a vuvuzela to F$%^k them upQuote:

yep - same as ours.
Not to mention they are also singing the same version of Dale Cavese.
Can't we just go back to "stand up if you love the jets" followed by "lets all jump"
What they are doing we need to do though with the PA pre match.
They also start a Brisbane chant after whereas we go were newcastle ole
i would like both these to be erased forever. never happenedQuote:

Back on last night, the chant that uses the tune of animals by Martin garrax is really catching on, love it!
there must be something else that can get the other stands pumping. It aint a new concept any more. maybe any chant where the answer is new-ca-stle. Not big on the poz eitherQuote:

What's the chance of moving to the terrace area like the roar game at home earlier this season? Worked very well with the call and response chants too.

everyone needs to give 90 minutes regardless of the result as well especially if you are in bay 2, the drop in vocal support from when we went down to 1-0 against western Sydney was frustrating to say the least. If you are not willing to put the full 90 minutes in than bay 1 is your place.
wear a hat, sunnies and drink water. sorted.
A hose would be betterQuote:

Good to see positive steps taken in what could have been a horrible afternoon in bay 2 otherwise. Very good having several of the core lads together down the front near body on mega, seemed like their was less cut outs out in the bay this arvo then the wanderers game.
Big ups to the mallinwa chant that went off today :)
was still only a participation rate of about 50% however. Need more people to get involved.
Am I the only one who thinks that maybe the lads with the drums in bay 4 would be better coming over into bay 2 and joining us? Do people elsewhere in the stadium find that it drowns out bay 2?
Bring them in for sure imo. They were there for the start of that game you were late and were pretty good. Only thing is that we need to integrate them with our chants and vice versa, we were a bit out of tune and timing for some things.Quote:

Also I know others in the past have commented on their being too many kids in bay 2, but I don't see the problem with them at all. A fair few of them put in and if we didn't have any of them around we'd be worse off. Old mate with the flag (semi-kid) was nuts, still trying to work out how he managed to wave that thing non-stop for a good half and hour :rof: Great to see.
What was terrible was a certain Stone Island aficionado trying to (jokingly?) hit on some 12 year old girls at half time. It was legit disgusting to see, disgraceful scenes.
I actually thought it helped spread the message a little wider in the eastern stand and found those around where i was sitting were getting into the clapping with his drums for some of the squadron's chants. maybe decide on some standard chants for corners, free kicks or goal kicks and get him to join in for those which he was doing a bit but he seemed to have to wait to see what you guys would start.Quote:

For corners, set pieces etc we tend to start Cmon Newcastle or Jets anyway which can be heard and then joined
Yep Malinwa seems to be really taking off & sounding good. Whoever proposed that tune is a deadset legeQuote:
