I�m in Germany on a two month exchange and I�ve managed to go to a few German League games, VFB Stuttgart vs Bayern Munich and SC Freiburg vs RW Oberhausen (2 Bundesliga), and they have a few good things at the start of the games that we could possible use for next season. . .
1. When the stadium announcer reads out the home teams, he says the players number, first name and then the crowd chant the last name. For example. . .
Announcer: Number 18, Ben
Crowd: SIG-MUND!!
And for players like Daniel the announcer says his number then we say DAN-IEL
I reckon this would be better than the current muppet we have reading out the team becuase on more than one occasion I�ve heard him say Durante like Durontay. And it would be good for getting the crowd and the boys firing.
2. Whenever the home team scores, the stadium announcer does the same thing with the naming of the team, he says the number and first name of the player and then the crowd chant the last name.
Thoughts?

we're all getting beers when they read out the teams. Yeah they did that at Euro though - very good.

I still reckon the old "Let's pretend we've scored a goal" chant, followed by mass hysteria, is quality.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Was tempted pull it out during our barren spell early in the season when we went a few games without scoring, but thought that not many would follow up on it.
But agree, a great one, especially when times are hard.

" Same old Aussies always cheating" needs to change.
Given the number of Aussies associated with the club I think this chant should be directed at the teams we are playing. " Same old Melbourne always cheating". Who knows one day we may even be able to aim the chant at another NZ team, dreams are free.

Not sure that's the kind of hysteria we're looking for though

This would look good with the phoenix emblem. They all have a coloured piece of paper on their seat and before the game starts they all raise them and this is what it looks like.
This is what they did at Inter Milan vs Siena. Their pisture is of the Milan city emblem though.

I'm taking this slightly OT for a moment.
Ahh, my beloved VfB!! Steh auf, Wenn du Schwabisch ist!!
From the home games, looks like you're around Baden - Wuerttemberg!
Best singing/chanting I ever heard was at VfB, when they played Karlsruhe last season. They've been yelling the surnames at least since 1996, when I first when to Gottlieb-Damiler (now Mercedes Benz Arena)..
am going to be in Stuttgart again in late August, but won't be abel to make if to a game as I'm at a wedding.. . my brother's. .. .

Ha!!! If he really cared about his family, he'd let me go to the game instead of his wedding!
