Active Support Feedback Thread

[MFKS]

Fun times in bay 1 last night.

Nice to see the return of a few songs that haven't been done in a while eg ale ah oh where the boys from Newcastle.

Still without drums being allowed its hard to get songs lasting more then 3 or 4 runs.

Fun times because we actually winning and playing entertaining football

Not rocket science that active support succeeds based on what transpires on the pitch

We don't have to be winning like we are per se but when we having a red hot crack as we doing each week under Bert then the fans are keen

Don't know where they got the 12k figure from last night though

There was less empty seats around me last night than there was v Gypos

Abit of a mess. A post was made after the jets game regarding what happened and why some members weren't present which has now been deleted.

Now the less I stuck by bay 1.

On a positive great to see other areas of the ground getting involved in the "stand up if you love the jets" and the "lets all jump for Newcastle".

I think this initiative is tacky.

happy to stand up if it organically grows, but being told I will do it in "x" minute feels contrived.

I like it. Any iniative that gets the whole stadium involved can only be a good thing IMHO

This is what helps kill football fan culture, which is meant to be spontaneous, aside from singing your theme song pre-match.

Countdowns to kick off, speakers blaring "give it up for your Newcastle Jets" (I hate 120 db ground announcers), and premeditated chants that are not related to the game.

Yeah , let's see who stands up when we are down 3-0 at home next.

Like Oi, Oi, Oi and similar it's done for the bandwagoners and the kids.

someone's gotta step up if the NCL is too scared about being leaders off the pitch

may as well be the ground announcer at this rate

yeah i know but in Newy we cannot operate any other way.

It must must be simple, timed and well known. it is simple league town mentality

Thing is though we aren't the only a-league team that does it.

Sydney fc have the words of the "The famous sydney fc chant" come up on the screen. Wanderers ground announce yells out the players names and the crowd follows.

Least its better then the coast and having a brass band walking around the stadium when the games on.

That was a slight concession that I can live with...even Liverpool and West Ham play a song soundtrack pre-match even though they've been singing their songs unassisted for years.

So what’s more important to you.

a) the chants being done the ‘proper’ way.

Or


b) the chants being done the loudest and most inclusive way.

[Jetmaster]

I'll be honest - I prefer it spur of the moment by the fans, in relation to what is happening on the field.

I hate the "Noo car sul" chant, but at the 2008 GF it rang out and made the hairs stand.

[Superdylan]

Bumpety bump

Hope to see a fair few foz members in bay 1 friday night.

B all day, but I hate the mega phone.

I like the idea of ground speaker to help get everyone involved plus word up on the big screen would help the (plastic) supporters get involved more to..

[Superdylan]

Anyone know the lyrics to that chant we had for an old squadron chant we used to do.

Newcastle whoah x3
We're happy and we sing
When the ball goes back to the wing
Was that the lyrics?

I wanna try and bring it back next Saturday.

[furns]

Newcastle, woah, newcastle, woah
No wonder we're happy and we sing
When the ball comes across from the wing

repeat
