FeverZone Last Night

 

I think you mean the group with that Tawa guy with the Retro Beckham mohawk.

 

maybe we should move at half time...

I can imagine the drunkin Chaos as thousands of people try and stagger to the other end

 

 I was after all very, very.....drunk

 

One of the problems that I've been having is that I'm about half way between the mob down the bottom who start alot of chants and the mob at the back. So alot of the time you've got 2 chants going at once and it's too hard to work out which is the dominant chant so which to join in on. Also, a few occassions where both groups were chanting the same chant but slightly out of time.

 

Also noticed a few chants being started well outside the FZ. Just shows things are catching on nicely.

 

 

 

on Sunday we will all be wearing the same thing with 15 min to go anyway...

 

We were in the middle too - FZ row G or H I think we were - and I agree it's hard to work out which group to chant with.  Obviously it's easier to hear the group behind you, but they seemed to be out of time with the front group, and when we tried to start chants (was with a group of loud poms) seemed like we were surrounded by a bunch of deaf mutes as no one joined in.  But nevermind - once again had a fantastic time and am sure people will eventually join in once they're familiar with the chants.

 

Totally agree. I don't wear my Brighton or England tops - I wear my Phoenix shirt. I could understand wearing your club of origin shirts for temporary visits by clubs you don't identify with. Wearing those is like saying the Nix are a flash in the pan and you're here as a neutral.

 

I tried to give a mate of mine in Carlisle shirt some stick by asking why he was sporting Sydney colours.

 

I was also disappoinited to see QPR or Reading shirts (didn't look close enough to see which) and Arsenal tops at the Bencher. Support the Phoenix FFS.

I don't think wearing other club colors in the beginning is too much of a problem. there were 12k people at the game - the supply of phoenix shirts available to retailers was around 500 until October and retro Ricki's have sold about 1000, +50 backbencher YF tops, and assorted other home made phoenix gear. At least by wearing a club top of some description you are showing you are a football supporter. If you are at the game then it goes without saying you also support the phoenix. given enough time, the entire YF zone will be a sea of yellow and black, but until the supply of phoenix gear meets the demand, i don't see why people cant wear their Liverpool or Chelsea tops. It creates plenty of banter at the pub, and you can find other like minded people to celebrate/commiserate with about your teams performance on the weekend.

 

Haha that would be so awesome but looking at the state of some of them I'm not sure they would all make it to the other end before the game was completed. Have to say though I think people should chill out a wee bit. Was sitting in Aisle 25 on Saturday night with my wife and son, fantastic experience. If some chants didn't work out it didn't really matter and we joined in as much as we could as did others around us. Spoke to the few Adelaide guys the next morning (staying at same Hotel) that were sitting up behind Mossy in the 2nd half and they were amazed at the sound and the volume from the Fever Zone. They come from a city of 1 million people and can't get that kind of support so congrats to the Fever - you are the talk of the nation at the moment (well on Radio Sport this morning anyway). There were also a group of fans above us to our right who got the crowd going as well. The hardouts in the Fever Zone need to realise they don't own the game - they add to it and our experience was awesome. Planning on coming back asap, just gotta find another lazy $2K first lol. Actually the cost of going to the game surprised me as well - $38 for the three of us, thank you Terry Siripisos, keep up the great work 'cos where definitely coming back.

 

Go the Nix!!

 

 

 

 

1- I was near the back with the group who was starting chants. Its very hard to hear the chants and timing of the people at the front as they are obviously facing the other way. But we were starting our own chants in the hope the people in the front would join in as they can hear us. The problem is there is a group in the middle (between our group and they big group at the front) who don't join in chants and some even sit down, if these people got into it the chants wouldn't be so out of time.

 

2- People really need to not get so angry if they get beer spilt on them.
