Where's your sense of national pride? It's about stirring emotion.

Speaking of emotion, if we're gonna sing, in my opinion I think it should be NZ songs. Listening to The Rock 1000 today kiwi songs definitely stir the blood more.

I was just thinking about 'We'll be Coming' and I think we could still do it.

"When you hear the calls of the white noise boys"

Instead of "When you hear the noise of the white noise boys"

We avoid saying noise twice and still get a bit of a rhyming/alliteration thing at the end.

Well if it was any good....
 
Why not 'God Save the Queen'?  It's been our National Anthem much longer than the one they normally drag out (twice!).  It's more stirring to boot.
 
Don't worry, my national pride is strong and I'll be cheering, chanting and ranting as good as any there.

Hmm this would be good if it wasn't an Australian song - any other country would be OK but singing an aussie song at an NZ sports event seems pretty wrong.

Excellent point re: anthem. I'll be singing it in English and Maori, so the rest of you have no excuse!

Having just attended the  victory phoenix game in melb, i reckon its pretty obvious that trying to come up with witty terrace chants is no good, they are too complicated and take years to develop and since its pretty much a one off, it just wont work, The yellow fever group must have sung about 15 different songs/chants but bar the usual good ones they just weren't that effective, where as melbourne fans admittedly in much higher numbers stuck to more organised noise, which sounded way better.

Even if its Clap Clap All Whites, if 30000 are doing it, it will be better than 500 people singing some rejigged song.
 
I reckon an awsome national anthem at start game and second half and maybe one easy kiwi song and rest stomping/clapping/drums in unison would be the go, keep it simple and VERY loud

On that note, News, do you think we could manage drums for this one?

perhaps we could replace "eeyore, eeyore, eeyore" with " camel, camel, camel"

Ok, I am on the fence for making a banner. What is it like for displaying banners, 'cos generally I don't see them at Phoenix matches if there are any other than YF one, am I likely to get it back? Sounds like banners get stolen.

Also on promotional ideas, co-ordinating cards is quite hard. I reckon if we get those slidy out signs (like below) that are scarf like that they have at the cricket would be good. If everyone stands there with them above their heads to act as scarfs would be good.

Better still get real scarves. White and Black ones. That truly would look good. None of this 'Im a fan' bollocks.

Three for me, and two for them.

Yeah, but where are they? Still in the pipe line, or rummaging around to find dead stock.

Plus not saying put I'm a fan get "ALL WHITES" on it. Plus I doubt many people will have All Whites or New Zealand scarves so this is a trade off, to get lots of people holding stuff.

As long as it's not offensive or covering advertising you'll be sweet, put it up and don't forget it before you leave.

Yes, you are defintely on the right track with Dave Dobbin`s loyal and how you can go past Slice of Heaven.
I like the way the South Africans sing Ole Ole Ole Bokke so easily changed to All Whites
Just figuring out a way to get over for the game live on the Gold Coast after 20 years in US, UK, Japan and Perth. Least it`s closer than those places! This is going to be big.i just hope we don`t get spanked in the away leg, don`t underestimate these Arab teams Bahrain have been together for years as a side they gave the Aussies a big shake up especially over there and should have taken the three points.
I hope Wellington turns on a wet as and windy as cold as night that`s got to be worth a goal.

 Good one very funny.
I reckon the one and i mean the one song that everyone in the stadium would sing is `Ten Guitars` i mean how many of us haven;t been to a party when they sang it.
30,000 plus singing it would be superb!

Will it be shirts off if, overall on aggregate (away goals etc) we are on out way to the World Cup at 80mins? Keen for mass skin, I think most chests will be All White.
Oh Wellington is wonderful. We got the wind, the rain and the phoenix. Oh Wellington is wonderful.

Definately should be, as it's a Yellow Fever tradition, and White Noise is YF in disguise. Then again, by that logic you could argue that it should be shirts off when TeeDubs are winning with ten to go too.

I had never even heard that song until I was at university, and I have never heard anyone sing it in the flesh ever.

I wonder  if they'll get a bunch of maoris together and do the haka for our guys? I mean that's gotta put the sh*ts up them having a bunch of scary Jake the Muss lookalikes yelling at them in Maori.

As for music play some 8 foot sativa - Fuel Set or Blindspott - Nil by Mouth . Psych em out.

At first I was confused that the girl in the song had taken up hair-dressing
 
but the I realised the band in question had nothing to do with 60's Californian surf culture, but had taken up forestry instead

Us Kiwis arn't a very patriotic bunch are we. At rugby games etc you don't normally hear the whole crowd singing etc. i just hope that the whole crowd are in full voice especially at the start for the national anthem. It would definately put the tingles down the players and get them fired up for the game.

i think we are patriotic as an ex-pat for 25yrs + in US, UK , japan and Oz i feel it but i think we have trouble bringing it to the surface as in unified singing at sporting events. All Black matches  are mediocre from a crowd support we`ve graduated from black black black to All Blacks Cha cha Cha in 20 yrs...a it needs leadership and enough voices on the big night to re-write that script. How about Dave Dobbyn Loyal belting out around the ground ? it`s all about chanting and singing when the team needs a lift I can`t stopping thinking about the matches it`s going to be tough Bahrain can play no question but i`m optimistic as long as we don`t get pasted in the first leg. They have a 12 day camp to prepare but that can work against you too long in camp and you can go a bit flat i`ve seen in alot in my time in the game.
GO NZ.
