Bones and Drums

Bones and Drums

Keen for drums and trumpets,Stefan pull some strings

I managed to sneak my 'bone in every week....and it ain't a small one...

He means his the bones for his pork chop sideburns during movember

Apprently at the last Canes game there wasn't any sort of atmosphere. According to someone I work with. They are getting more disappointed than ever with them and the catering has not improved, just got more expensive.

LG if you don't want to spend your money on the sh*t food then do what we did in scotland and once over here for an nz aussie game.. Scottishbhoy2009-04-25 17:42:47

i went to the last game to best describe the atmosphere let me say it was like being at a pub in a big open space there was absolutely nothing but chatter clark007e2009-04-25 18:11:03

id be very happy to see drums and some instruments at the games, trumpets, saxs, etc. adds lots of atmosphere to games. you here them in europe. Drums are wicked too, there were groups of people at the u 17 womens WC, and they were bloody effective. I certainly know that when I come to wellington for uni Id bring my saxaphone to the games, and get a few othershopefully too.

needs more accordion

Spoons.

I need more cow-bell baby!el grapadura2009-04-25 20:26:26

There used to be a high school band play in the crowd at Kingz home games, they sounded good.

Basically I think Citizen Cane asked to bring in the stuff and the stadium let them, if we tried the same as happened at U17WWC last year I presume we will be allowed.
Sat just behind that lot at Canes game last night and good on these guys for trying I say. Basically because no one else will join with them it falls a bit flat and you end up hearing the Indiana Jones theme about 100 times.

I certainly think that maybe a trumpet and a drum would work well for us, might help us to expand our 'range'

Yeah I agree, chuck a few strong beats to some of the chants and we could boost the volume

those big water gallons sound good when hit, anything big and hollow makes a loud sound when smacked hard.

LG, I might be in a bad mood at the moment, so, sorry to sound grumpy, but

PLEASE STOP WHINING ABOUT THE STADIUM CATERING!

Whatever you write here is exceptionally unlikely to change it.

If you don't like the food, then eat somewhere else before or after the game.

And $6 for a beer is not really that expensive, but again, if you don't like it, then have a few drinks somewhere else before the game. Heck, you can probably sneak in a hip flask if you're that desperate ...

$6 dollars for a mini stubbie is expensive. Just pointing it out to those who wish to buy. I prefer the BB before the game, cheaper and more in your glass. Lonegunmen2009-04-27 17:23:18

$6 for a 330ml is not expensive LG, go to most pubs in Town and that is what you will pay. Im with Bevan, stop going on about the food. If you dont like it dont eat there. Although in fairness last night they had a curry option, baked potatoes, soup and bread and salads so maybe you just need to know where to look.

Yeah I sit just along from the Citizen Cane crew and the guys with the horns and drums have been putting in a good effort of late.  The tunes they play are catchy and enjoyable, and add atmosphere.....its just not picked up by the stale, static typical NZ rugby supporter so dies a feeble quiet death.

We need to ask the question and then find the capable people who can.  I went up to the Breakers semi final loss at NSEC earlier this year and they had a group of about 8-10 proper big band drummers positioned on the gantry above us and they played a cracking style of the pacific island drumming that gets everyone going.  It sure adds atmosphere and gives everyone a beat/timing to join in with....

A drummer and a trumpet player are all we ask for......lets start the search and the campaign to be allowed to have them in the zone.....

I can see a reality TV show coming...

I may or may not be able to confirm any possible employment I may have with any Rugby Union.
Im unaware that Canes management have been pushing the case of these guys, maybe an approach was made to the stadium through the Canes after they had been approached by the fans but I don't know.
And I agree entirely with Coxey and what he said

The Yellow Fever "contra" Band....

Me and Stefan made a bit of noise during the U17 WWC, I'd certainly be up for it again. Will need to get a new drum, unless Stefan plays trumpet (or whatever it is you have)?

Didn't those Citizen Kane fellas show up at the Beckham game? Good group of fellas that just want to create a  decent/good atmosphere

Meh, it was okay. After visiting three grounds in as many weeks, I can easily say rugby atmospheres go like this: Chiefs > Daylight > Hurricanes > Blues.

(And naturally, Phoenix > Rugby> The Moon > Waitakere United)



Full credit to Citizen Cane for trying to create an atmosphere, but yeah, Coxey described the problem perfectly when he talked about it not being picked up by traditional rugby supporters.

Kazoos... genius.

lovin the need for musical instruments they're a must have, but kids leave the damn whistles at home

Or an orchestra of recorders !!

Why bother buying booze in the stadium - it's overpriced and mostly unpalletable, why can't they sell GUINNESS i'll make it worth their while. Skaman2009-04-28 15:51:53

FFS am I reading this right or are we all asking for musical instruments on this thread? Most of us hated the drumming that made sporadic appearances over the last 2 seasons and now what we want an orchestra?

Anyone seen any England Internationals with those tw*ts who play the Dambusters theme endlessly again and again? Are we asking for something like that?

Anyone who has been to a rugby match knows the atmosphere is rubbish but that's rugby. It's almost traditional that you have a sh*t and boring time going to a rugby match but then what do you expect with such a turgid sport?

What we do is different, we make our own music with our singing and chants and we do a good job most of the time.

Let's not be silly we do not want musical instruments at the match.




ok maybe kazoos

A few drums would be worthwhile, get a beat going.

have you been to home matches over the last couple of seasons?
