greek bell

Please select one so i can be more in the know about the greek bell

I await this to be swiftly removed. lol good work DJ.

why is this good work, dj u are an idiot.

If anyone finds a sense of humour, can they please send it to gang.green.gang c/o Wellington Olympic.

iv got nothing to do with wellington olympic.

Maybe someone can tell us the history behind the bell? It would be nice to actually know after all the years playing with it ringing.

well g g g i love your sence of humour you brighten up my day. Thank you for explaining the bell now i know a bit more about it this was me mearly running a drill that was amusing and yet more people can learn what the bell is actualy about which this thread is currently achieving. Good talk see you out there

did the bell originally come from the fine old greek settlement of the Waikato?

they love cowbells.

We had a bell like that one at primary school it was around for years until they brought in an automatic bell!! But when it did ring at 10am it would make me run that extra lil bit for sweets at newsagents!!

do they still use the bell? I quite like it. Most of the kids in the team prob think it's home time though

Nobody likes you DJ.  Fact!

I like the lad, good sense of humour - and as much as they protest, the Greeks love the banter, its all in good fun so whats the harm??! honestly??!

hahahaha if its worse than the Curse of Kenepuru i'll be quaking!

or the curse of smithy is worse ahahahhaahahah

I think i saw a little sign sitting next to the bell on sunday. It said 'please ring for attention'. 

Now your just asking for trouble here arnt ya Donny Zonston.

All you need to worry about is that when you hear the bell, pack your bags full of hearty meals for you and your family for at least a week, inclusive of bread and beans, head for the hills, and prepare for the worst.

oh come on uncle steve! why cant the greeks be more like the irish and have a laff at themselves every once in a while :)

i thort he was havin abit of a laugh to be honest, end of the day kids the bell is something thats been around for ages and i think its pretty funny to be honest, but hey its an olympic tradition and makes you know ur at an olympic game, similiar to the come on you yellow for lower hutt....which i still think is the most annoying saying in wellington football...but hey each club has their own lil saying and songs, well not every club, actually not many at all. but hey merry xmas.. the bell has seen better days though as i recall it was broken a couple of years ago which was no good. i was depressed about it.

exactly aekara.......finally some sense :)

why cant  we all just get along? lol

ha ha lve your humour uncle steve. does anyone at olympic actually know the origine ov the bell because banter aside i wouldnt acually mind knowing

Um not really but off the top of my head i can say its been around for at least 20 years and will be included in my next sig.

wud someone like PK or Chris Christie know the origins Uncle Steve? to be fair it is a wee bit of a mystery........and yeah wud be interesting to know the origins and meaning (if any) behind it.

finally, some sense my friends!

Its just a bell. Maybe someone just decided to bring a bell one day. Is it really that much of a biggy?

Well as far as my intepretation goes the bell would have come around randomly but has now become a symbol of hope and passion for the club.

I played for the bubbles in 1995 and 1996, and cannot recall a bell being around.

Its your alsheimers, we forgive you.

It's as important to the atmosphere of the game as the loudhailer from the Peter Halstead Club which I'm sure will become equally historical after it's confiscation at the NZFC Final!
