Plague I thought that look was pretty common for women.

Arms crossed look of disgust on face etc.

Usually means they ain't happy.(and you are in the shit)


Perfect for how the vast majority at SFS last Friday night felt

good efforts but need to keep lift the game for the Derby.

Thinking a song sheet drop on every seat for the derby?

[Jeterpool]

Fantastic effort yesterday everyone. You were very loud and clear and sang throughout.

I liked the attempt at the chant around the ground. While it didn't completely take off this week, it will. Don't be discouraged from doing it again.

Keep up the good work.

the call and response chant is going to be a real slow progress one.

we will be trying it more than once next week.

if everyone has cohesion than it works.

really good effort by everyone yesterday in ridiculous conditions. 3pm, summer & the a league don't match.

It was very hot especially when Ljubo got us to do a the jumping chant

BTW where did Ljubo go after he came into us?

I like the call&response chant. It'll be better with time.

Except I think it should finish with the "newcastle, united boys, here to make noise, etc" (and after the last "glad i'm not a mariner" and the drum beats, the call/response starts again) rather than "newcastle ole ole"

Opinion - Ditch the mega. For the size of the active support, is it really necessary? Might make people sing a bit louder too.

I am positive that bay 2 will be at least 2x fuller against the coast at home. A hot afternoon game was never going to be a popular one in bay 2, people just get too tired and worn out singing and jumping around in the sun.

At least our next game is under lights

Big mega isn't needed for the smaller games tbh

Agree with this. Smaller mega for your regular games, bigger mega for derbies/games where we will pack out bay 2 and surrounding bays.


In saying that, I thought Body and timmy were doing an outstanding job firing up the crowd by their actions alone. It was the most revved up I've seen us for an afternoon game. Body looked more exhausted than the players did at half time, lol.

[BodyNovo]

My bad on big mega.

Will only take big mega for nsw games now.

after the struggle against Perth, the derby showed that we are improving.
"Our boys in red and blue" chant is going great guns

Agree. from the opposite side of teh stadium opposite the squadron it's sounding good. Even though only the sides are being selected at the moment, people in Bay 58 are starting to call "NEWCASTLE" regardless. Good stuff!

[Superdylan]

Great atmosphere created for the conditions. Thought the corner bay worked well especially for the call and response chant.

However alot of regular members of the squadron including myself were in the under cover areas at the back of bay 1 and 2 for long periods of the game.

Luckily towards the end of the game the back of bay 2 was going off helped coordinate the Newcastle united boys chant that was getting sung from the corner bay and got everyone behind me singing it from the back of bay 2 for a minute or so.

[furns]

well in SD - showing rossy greg how its done......

I missed the CCM game so last game was the first time I witnessed the wonders of family friendly, Baartz-approved call-and-response chant.
Gotta say Bodes, ****ing outstanding work, sounds brill and the crowd seem to love it.

Keep at it, now all we need to focus on is drawing it out a bit more at the start (longer pauses), and getting the crowd into the chorus part (which they've already started doing from what I could tell).
Top work again!

you can't really tell from the bay at coast at home and on the weekend, how loud it is. but good to hear nonetheless.

ideally into the future it will not only us but the whole of the eastern stand calling to the western and beer hill.

[q-money]

have any of you kids got a video of this call and response?
