It would be great to start a tradition where the first home game of the year had a special theme as well as the last game of the year. We could create a tradition around these two games so that people came to know, respect and participate in these traditions.
For both of these games there could be "no holds barred" tifo, so a blind eye is turned to confetti and docket rockets, which can be discouraged during the rest of the season for all I care. Just let the kids know that they can participate in it.
The first game could have an "Opening Day" feel about it and be all about fun and celebrating the Newcastle Community - with the aim of welcoming everyone to another season. I would love it if the club could get involved in this by opening a section of the car park to a kind of community fete with stalls, temporary food and drink outlets with face painting and folksy type bands helping to create atmosphere outside the stadium precinct. I just feel the freshness and excitement of a new season should be reflected in the way we celebrate the start of the season.
The last game can incorporate the "Old Boys" tradition that the club has started and can pay respect to retiring and departing players as well as Newcastle heroes from times past. With tifo to reflect this theme. And just create an atmosphere of fun which says "that's all folks!" for another year.
I like this ideaQuote:

This could a bit of a crass suggestion and one certainly not even will agree with but, here goes..
Start cranking the 'NEW-CAS-TLE' chant again. Why? Well everyone knows it, a lot of people participate in it and when its loud, you have to admit it is pretty loud. It could be the difference between 0 points and 3 or 1 point and 3. Hell the crowd was pretty on edge when we equalised on the weekend, the players definitely would've lifted hearing it.
At a time when the support isn't the strongest, far from united and with a move over to the Western side, it could be something to get more people involved in active support (especially with tha west-saaaeeedd being the more active, sorry easties). As bland as the chant is, there are numerous teams across the world who have the exact same style chant:
MFKS & My mates skip to 2:40
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY3L4r1cBEY
Sampdoria - doria, doria, doria etc.
It could be used to rouse up the crowd when there is a break in chants, atmosphere bit subdued or when the players are struggling like it has been used previously. Once it has died out after 30 seconds or so, get into another chant and try keep that same intensity and noise level for that chant. I suppose its more about letting the people in the stands know that the squadron wants their support too.
Isn't the call & response chant basically getting the crowd to respond with that anyway?
we have 2 of these "come on newcastle & the jets x 8 claps" for these exact moments, they are connected with the jets & the squadron/active support
the Newcastle chant is a knights one and not a city one imo, when was sung in 2008, etc i didn't connect myself with it like i would at a knights game.
on the other hand if the majority want it sung than by all means lets do it.
Yeah probably. Whether it has the same effect, i dunno.Quote:

Naturally there's an over-representation of anti-league posters on this forum but this is not the same for the Jets membership as a whole. Besides, it sounds ****en sick when the whole stadium is chanting.
Call and response is failing hard tbh
I actually think on the weekend it was at its bestQuote:

Agreed.Quote:

Don't give up. One day this will come to fruition between the hill and squadron!Quote:

The New Car Cell chant started organically after the 2nd goal on Sat, pretty loud too.
Being a knights fan aswell as a jets fan I think it has a place at Jets games.
I would assume a large proration of the western stand are knights fans aswell as jets fans. Have seen people I know from the knights enter the squadron in recent weeks so they will certainly be used to it.
was stoked that the Torcida chant got up last game, hopefully we can grow it.Quote:

Agreed. That's why it works.Quote:

It's unique, it's silly, it's easy and visual. It's worth a laugh.
I hope it continues.
Will not participate in shoes off if you love the jets. If people want to do it fine but I find it abit of a kids thing to do.
Anyways why wasn't the call and reponse chants done today.....where Newcastle whoah oh oh and nuremberg (not until after the game) Also no chase the sun either. Yet the we love you chant and the Newcastle tifosi were chanted several times which have only just been taken onboard.
This is something I always notice with the rbb they don't constantly repeat their songs. Just a word of thought.
Also can more be encouraged to get people everyone abit closer together, noticed there was some gaps in the middle of the bay today.
Positives of today the flag waving looked good.
+1 we were far too spread out. Have the squadron thought about moving to bay 50? New area, engagement with majority of Western fans, good bay design (triangular = closer together when smaller numbers but room for expansion), the Western stand will provide shade. Positives all round.Quote:

Stick with bay 59,60 but id prefer to see us move over slightly to the left as bay 59 has alot more space.
you cant sit in bay 59 as its reserved silver seating.
And the RBB have about 5 songs Dyl, and sing them for 7 or 8 minutes each. Then repeat them.
So you are wrong.
Not every chant in the repertoire has to be given a run at each game. The chants that were repeated a number of times were the ones that got up the loudest.
People choosing which chants they sing and which ones they don't depending on whether they personally like them or not is the reason we sometimes suck balls.Quote:
