Fans target Victoria in Beckham chant??
Jinx. Just posted this in the chants section
Posting times are a minute apart. Great minds think...
never mind. 
Dave Burgess is going to be killed! Frankie Will be pissed Dave
(The articles writer) produced a songbook! :o.
It's also on page 2 of The Dom Post down the bottom.
Even if he did produce songbook it's good coverage for YF the Phoenix and Wellington Football in general. PLUS everyone at the stadium will know our chants(good thing = louder bad thing = not so unique)

Song book is a great idea - DomPost printing some of our most used
chants along with the Beckam specials also fab.....28,000+ people
singing Victoria priceless!!!!
Can just imagine what FM would of said if he had opened this
mornings paper to that chant list of embarrassing chants.Talk
about make us look like a pack of dicks.I didnt know it was
in the paper and all i have coped all day is shyte off my work
mates and others they were rubbish lads.Might be fine when we have
had a few or there a number there to chant them,but to see them in
print just makes me cringe they really do look rather basic.
Its a bloody football game not a concert FFS a song book.sh*t some of you lot complain when 2000 of us get it wrong all trying the same chant at different times WTF is going to happen with a bloody song/chant book in your hand.
Just hope they dont appear friday nite.

And one of them which he mentioned in the article - was a piss take
posted by a Melbourne Fan k_p - yer famous!
I am still cringing. I am shattered. "I am a real person. I am not
a circus animal." Repeat than slowly ten times each everybody.
Please
lets NOT sing this song about Victoria beckham, we dont want to
give NZ football a bad name!
Cringe factor 1000000.

Please
perhaps we should define our policy on the number of media whores we need, before it gets out of hand
it reminds me of that time that little boy from zmfm came up to the fever and asked to "speak to our leader" and then asked us to do a chant for his big and oh so impressive microphone
yep, the club needs the media, and i think we have the right to expect good coverage,
I''ll happily lose my voice for the Nix, and go to the airport for the team, but I hope I don't ever start thinking that the cameras are more important than the players!
I've been dwelling on this all day, and I've come to the conclusion
it's a bit disappointing from the Dom really.
I sung the local media's praises in another thread for not doing exactly what they have done here, whereby they have taken some individuals posts and suggestions as being what the entire Yellow Fever condones and encourages.
The use of a library shot of Frankie in particular is annoying (but funny as f**k) as no man has been more vocally against the idea of a songsheet than him.
The more I think about it the more irritated I am by it.

terrible article. Sounds like they might have a terrible tv segment
too. Dave Burgess you are banned. Feverish2007-11-27 18:08:49
Steady on fellas - I personally think it'd be good to get more
people involved with the chants and generally - it's not an
exclusive club 
I thought it was good to have a bit more publicity for the
game.
Gives newbie fans an idea of what to expect.
I would have put it in Thursday or Friday's paper to make it a bit more timely though ...

I thought the chant 'Give the Ball to Beckham, he's who we paid to
see' was a bit crap, considering we pay first and foremost to see
the Phoenix, plus I know I paid to see LA Galaxy play the Phoenix,
not just Beckham. But I don't make the chants up, so what do
I know hehe.
That's the problem... one reporter reads what one person posted
here and all of a sudden it's the Fever Song book ?
I can't think of anyone who buys in to that chant.

I'd love to see a chant like We're here to see the Phoenix! to show exactly that sentiment. Whether it be LA Galaxy, Chivas USA, or even Sc**thorpe, I'd still be there and I'd still be there for the Phoenix. FORZA GIALLONERI!
(Though I must admit, I love the buzz his arrival is bringing
)
yep -really hope we don't go down the same road as the rugby crowd
where, for instance, black placards are handed to all spectators as
they enter the stadium and then on a given signal all spectators
hold them up and 'black out' the stadium for the TV audience.
I honestly don't go to the RoF be a performing act for Sky or TVNZ - I go there for enjoyment and spontaneity, not pre-programmed media hype.
Plenty of 4 letter words in the chants should ensure tv channels keep a respectable distance and use YF as 'background' only.

Anyone wanna orchestrate a placard prank at Telstra Dome next year?

YES!!!

Never mind FM, just get out of Leeds to the KC Stadium and you'll instantly feel fully human again!
Personally I don't see why some of you chaps are upset. The more
people know the songs the better. One of the problems of getting
people to join in is unfamiliarity with the chants. Once people see
how simple they all are I think they're more likely to join in.
It's a pretty light hearted piece really. It's not like
they're having a dig at us, unlike some of the reporting ealier in
the year. So what if your mates at work think the songs are a bit
lame. Let's see what all the other sports in NZ have had to offer
in terms of songs? Nothing! The "kiwi-clap clap" crowd can
criticise when they come up with something better.
I think we should just accept that for now we're doing
something that no-one else is doing in NZ, and so far we're a
novelty for the media - so things like this are giong to get
reported. Why not take advantage of the publicity rather than
whinge about it. So they picked a few slightly pathetic chants to
report. Well, at least they demonstrated that we've got more than
one song.
From the few games I was able to attend before I moved to the
UK it started becoming apparent that our repetoir was limited to
about three tunes. ('Oh wellington', 'Who are ya' and 'same
old aussies'). Perhaps the article will spur folks on to actually
singing some new songs rather than staring blankly when a new tune
comes out (as happened to a few of the early suggetions at the
start of the season). The fact is, no matter how soft the lyrics
appear in print, 10,000 people singing the same thing sounds bloody
amazing!
Just think "you'll never walk alone" (pretty nancy looking
lyrics, but sounds great at anfield though) "blowing bubbles" (what
the?? still sounds good when sung by the hammers faithful
though) "swing lo -sweet chariot" (might be a poncy rugby song, but
it still sounds fantastic when the English nancy boys belt it out
all toegther).
I say embrace the victoria song. Who cars if it looks soft in
print. If everyone sang it it would sound fantastic.
Garunteed.

Phil, the on-line story is ok.

Fortunately, you probably cant find a hard copy of yesterday's
DP, which includes the Yellow Fever "Songbook". Trust me, you are
lucky
Closed, and moved to Chants.
We've had a chat with the Dom, and hopefully we'll avoid these sort of mix-ups again in the future.
