Hey  if the  West pac Stadium has the nickname for the Nixs  of " The Ring of Fire "
 
get the crowd singing the Johnny Cash song  with words sung something like this for a starter:-
 
" The Nix are a burning thing
   and we make a fiery ringl
  to throw you in is our desire
  welcome to The Ring Of Fire
 
You'll  get burned , burned burned
till  your butts on fire
till your butts  on fire  "

There's something about a burning ring that doesn't appeal . . .

Mate, the ring of fIre is a great concept. Let those rugby heads play in their wanky caketin but the Phoenix play in the RING OF FIRE!  Ronaldoknow2007-06-13 22:35:34

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

No need to change the words.  Just sing the original version.

I like it, easy words and could establish our own identity, Phoenix rising from the ashes etc. Let's do it!

Ring of fire it is! especially if there are fireworks before the game!

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

They do the fireworks thing as player run out onto the field before the rugby games. With this being the first 'proper" game for the club, I can see it happening then too.

What about this...apologies to Johnny...


Football's - an awesome thing
Its got - us lot to sing
There is - no better choir
Turn up - the Ring of Fire

The Nix play in - a burning ring of fire
They take the field - and the noise is getting higher
And it burns burns burns
The Fever choir - In the Ring of Fire

Here's the original words - well some of them anyway. Whatever works...

Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

CHORUS
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

The Ring Of Fire

I believe they should def call the stadium "the ring of fire" and not the bloody cake tin, we have our own style and own names. This is fotball not rugby!!!

"You'll go down down down in our burning ring of fire,
We climb up up up as the flames leap higher,
You're gonna burn burn burn, in our ring of fire!
Burn burn burn, Phoenix rising higher!"

Rinse and repeat.

Given that Central Coast Mariners' supporters call themselves "Marinators" I figure it'll take quite a lot to become laughing stock... (OK, maybe I'm still sore about last week's result.)

Is liking it hot and spicy anything to be ashamed of? :-)

IMO the playing of 'Ring of Fire' at halftime didn't work.  I was singing it as loud as I could but the song isn't really football match material... seemed way too slow.  Phoenix City instead k thx.

I dunno, at the end of a match I guess it was alright - fit better than at halftime since we're (theoretically) winding down instead of trying to push the atmos up, still I'm not a fan of the song playing at the stadium when we're not getting Phoenix City.  It does help push the name 'ring of fire' for the stadium instead of the 'cake tin' though, so for now its not that bad.
