Super dyl. Internet wins one week

Back to your pool mate
Noticed those in ecstasy taker stand clapping to "c'mon Newcastle" chant.
Seccos have dead set no idea though. Still have a flare bucket in front of bay 2. Secco on a chair sat looking at bay 1/2 all game. One stage there were 5 guards in front of bay 1/2, which contained 2 spectators on the wheelchair deck. One lair near me shouted out words to the effect of "doing a good job guarding those chairs" to which the female secco supervisor bellowed back "shut the fvck up you cvnt". Families nearby, great show of professionalism!
Oh and fox had the effects mike in front of bay 1/2 until about the 25 minute mark too. Genius.
the call & response imo should only be used when the team is winning
there is no way a newcastle crowd at 5pm on a sunday arvo when its 30 degrees and the team is losing and has been losing for years on end is going to respond
i think the fast pace and up beat chants (dale cavese, we are newy, we love you, we only sing for you) are the best chants when things our down, sometimes you need tor repeat songs because you know its what will get the bay going.
also we did sing chase the sun in the first half!
And we also sung Nurenberg. But pretty sure he meant Torcida.
:rof: noticed We Love You & Tifosi, and noticed both went orf.
Best chant of the day was the Joel/Ryu one, particularly when the actions were involved. Looked and sounded great.
Bay 60 move was given the thumbs up by everyone I was surrounded with.
Ok I thought bay 59 was the bay where heaps of senior lads from the squadron were sitting.Quote:

Excellent. Unfortunately the JR and i were not in attendance yesterday but will be back next home game and beyond.Quote:

Everyone involved in the away support was all 18+ so it was great to have an adult crowd back, beer showers yeww.
What's the chance of having an 18+ section next to the bay we have been standing in because I feel that these kids in the bay are rapidly ruining the adult environment in the bay. I know way too many people that are starting to become part timers in the squadron due to these issues and are mainly only joining in with the active support on away days.
Sorry if I'm being abit critical but we have a good core and we are playing one of our main rivals at home this weekend coming who will most likely be bringing large away support and it's an important game for us if we are to scrape into the finals so the boys need that extra support.

Haha ffs. Won't be starting my own crew but I want to try and get some of these mates who I might be mentioning involved in the active support more. Alot seem to be working on home game days, tenzo is becoming quite dead pregame aswell, it's a massive concern mate.Quote:

I however do think that the younger crew need to be in a group in the middle (ie TRC MK2), with the SQN and NCL down the front and seniors guys up the back.
Beer shower is the least orgasmic thing I can think off... Diving in your pool might do it for me??!!! Come on SD even RBB have kids on the Mega!!!!!Quote:

Get in the bays and have some fun FFS.
The bunch of "kids" that stood next to me last game sung, chanted, jumped, followed the capo, didn't try and pash the girls in front of them, didn't get on their phones, waved flags and went mental when we scored. Besides being maybe 5 years older what else do you want from them? The only thing that let them down was the fact they had to leave 5minutes before fulltime when their dad turned up to take them home. Haha.
"There's too many kids" FFS get in the bays and help move the average age of the group higher instead of whinging about the kids who turn up and have a go.
Away trips are always better, but in 5 years time if you away numbers to stay strong the young kids need to be in and around the bays at home games.
Agree
Kids love griff as much as I do
You've made some good points there furns. Obviously with the change to the western stand communication in the bay has been changed. You have older lads and kids throughout the bay. And I think it's great that kids are joining in more, the more support is the better.Quote:

Dyl dont you see? We are changing the face of the squadron, its been known as drunk idiots for far too long, now we have mums trusting us with thier young kids! I reckon this is an awssome thing, the oldies still have thier fun and the kids are having fun too. The bigger the squadron the better, no matter the age.Quote:

Ohh bring on Saturday, hopefully we have more of the senior lads getting into it. Sydney fc at home usually means larger numbers.
Is where I stopped reading.Quote:

Score goals, win games, make the finals people will show. Half a decade of tripe does nothing to invigorate active support.Quote:

I hope zero. I was one of them, you were (I think) one of them. Plenty of youngin's nowadays that put in 110%, certainly more than you or I. Flag waving beast anyone??? They're our youth team. Gaz nailed it.Quote:

No one bloke, capo, sub group, flares, gym, shirts off, being more like the RBB or anything of the sort will fix this 'problem' (low numbers). On field performance - making the finals in particular will. Keep banging out tifo, keep the chant rotations and the steady, continued introduction of new ones. Keep doing what we're doing and hope that management don't.Quote:

Stop being such a drunk and actually be able to stand on the spot like everyone else
What should concern you is that there was no area in the bay anyone felt comfortable with you singing and jumping around.
Shouldn't matter drunk or not drunk it was a derby against a main rival of cause I was going to be full of energy.
