Perhaps we should make available a sheet on here with all the various chants on them in alphabetical order so that we can get to know the words??
 
Even print some off to hand out at the games??

Nah, I reckon they should just play very loud music at any lull in the game. Also, get someone to match the music to the moment eg
when the players come on to pitch - back in black - ACDC
when the opposition score - goodbye yellow brick road - Mr E John
when someone takes a dive - shot through the heart - Bon Jovi
 
etc etc .. more suggestions needed.
I think its an awesome idea and I know the sound system at is great as it is used to full effect for hurricanes matches.
 
We could even do some crowd cheering recordings and play them at suitable moments.

The sound system is brilliant, before a hurricanes game they played "Shine on you crazy diamond" un-interrupted and in full. My god it sounded good - but then it is Pink Floyd.

We support a football team therefore we make our own music

I'm editing this post, as I got a bit fired up when the newby suggested we play music at the stadium, which is the complete opposite to what YF want. The whole point is we create our own atmosphere - not the manufactured crap that you get at other NZ sports events.

All comments welcome though obviously

While the entry criteria for Spam United is usually quite strict, both Rhyl FC and Lonegunmen will be made welcome during there exile to the land of stupid ideas. To say that playing music over loudspeakers at a football match would be a great idea because rugby does it shows a degree of thinking that the spammers would celebrate as being most informed lol. Welcome chaps. We hope to be able to provide suitable support during your rehab.

What's sight without sound? Love without peace? Copulation without conception?

I can remember going to a Canterbury Auckland game at Jade stadium, Justin Marshall scored a try down in our corner while Zinzan Brooke was arguing with the ref and I went beserk with joy, while all around me told me to sit down and looked at me like I was a nutter, even my kids looked at me sideways like I was embarrassing them - strange eh? First and last game of rugby I ever went to.

I agree with making the chant sheet available.  How about placing them in those types of stands that the Real estate magazines are displayed in on the streets and letting people pick them up as they walk in the entrance

the day we play "music" at a football match I will tear up my season ticket and go on a shooting rampage!!! football is all about passion. the pre recorded main stream songs need to stay in the boring atnosphere-less rugby games.
 
songs are learnt on the terraces...
 
 sound out like you got a pair.

Guys, the subject of a song sheet has been tharshed out  on thes forums on two seperate occasiosn already. Two song sheets have already been produced and posted., None will be handed out at games. If you want to learn  the songs
 
1. Come to the games and learn on the job
2. Read the forums  - esp the chants room and catch up with all the latest suggestions

Yeah YEAH!!!! we should make it like the Sevens!!!!!  We should all dress up in fancy dress which has  absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the team or the game. We should spend half of our time during the game shreeching at each other and slapping each other on the back about how fabulous we all look and how WONDERFUL this phoney carnival atmosphere is.....! 

I'll dress up like a policeman from the 1970s, you dress up like the Flintstones and we'll chase each other until we get on TV. yeah!

Then,  for one game this season we should get that sexy Dan Carter to play at goalkeeper. Yeah!
If I have this whole religion thing wrong, and there really is a god, and because I kept saying he is a figment of a couple of kooks imagination it turns out that I have to go to hell, then I know what hell looks like.

There's no fire, no brimstone, there's no molten lava. Dante and Hieronymus Bosch have it totally wrong.

In hell, you have to sit for 2 days in the summer sun with 30,000 boorish, drunken, look-at-me, attention-seeking assholes and watch a dumbed-down bastardized version of rugby.

Someone offered me a free ticket to the Sevens, to his utter, utter surprise and amazement I turned him down cold.Imagine all the worst attention-seeking, stupid tart you've ever met, put her in a costume, get her drunk, mate her with the annoying drunk guy in the pub that you can't politely get rid of who tells you he loves you and his whole family history and then multiply that by 30,000. That's the Sevens.

Please let's not make our beloved game into the Sevens. This isn't a gimmick--football is life and we intend to stick around here for a long time.

man that was a a good read, very funny with some good points.  me , i say yes to drums but no to other loud music during game time, and im all for a bit of dress up if its in the right colours and for the right reason. eg showing support for your team.

I noticed the simple chants worked better because the whole crowd joins in - the complicated ones get carried by only a few.

This is true.
 
Still good to have a mixture of both. But yes, we can't avoid using the simply one's because they are the songs that will be picked up by the rest of the ground.

The old "Clap clap clap clap clap... clap clap clap clap.... (insert the bname of your team here)"  will always be the core chant...everyone knows it, but in Briatin some of the chants are so complicated that you're firstly amazed that anyone thought of them and secondly that they get started.

The point is that people do learn them if they are keen.

The funniest chant I ever heard was at Old Trafford around christmas.

It goes:

"on the first day of chrsitmas my true love sent to me...one Eric Cantona.
...on the second day of chirstmas my true sent to me--two Cantona, and an Eric Cantona
...on the third day of christmas my true love sent to me: 3 Cantona, 2 cantona and an Eric Cantona....

and on and and on....

then on the last verse they sing:

" On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to meTwelve drummers drummingEleven pipers pipingTen lords a-leapingNine ladies dancingEight maids a-milkingSeven swans a-swimmingSix geese a-layingFive golden (gold) ringsFour calling (colly) birdsThree french hensTwo turtle doves.......and AN ERIC CANTONA!!!!"  
I was in the away section of Trafford and I was singing along!!!!!

If we're not above a bit of plagiarism, there's always a few funny ones on the BBC Sport website. Sure we could pinch some and adapt them.

The chants of the week are at the bottom of the page.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

That Healey one is quality...

...worth a reprint:

"Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where...
Hea-lay, Hea-lay, Hea-lay!"
Fulham fans to their new star striker David Healy. (D Allen, UK).

Play music during any "lull" in the game!? Play pre recorded crowd noise!?

You have got to be kidding! WE are the music! (ooh! theirs a song in that) If theres a lull in the game then raise your voice bro! As for playing pre recorded crowd noises: this is football, not an american situation comedy! matty.j2007-08-29 12:37:04
