This. A chant leader would work wonders. Whether it's a megaphone, or just some loud dude near the middle of the yf.

Ah, But for full noise we sometimes need to be in time.

Oh yeah.
PLUS!

Newbies in the zone don't help much. As many may not know the chants well enough to feel comfortable to join in.

The club holds on to that.
I got it for the semi final last year as some may remember.

It would be cool to have another one of those, But I think that Tony P covered that subject and the price, Did the fever.

It's what most of this adds up to.

New shirt, if I find some bandwidth might look at that.

Perhaps bring back up the big shirt thread?
Didn't tony say something like 5K and you said 2?

I have nothing against big shirts. I like the big shirts.

But does it need to be a big shirt? Does the shirt shape increase production cost?

Couldn't be a large yellow and black striped "flag shaped" banner with a phoenix logo in the middle of it? I've seen other clubs with large rectangular banners over the heads of the crowd...

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.


Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

Exactly right - that way if strip changes we woldnt have to buy a new big shirt!!
Howabout put the bucket round at the ground like you did for Canty Quake although stadium would probably not agree to that so put it round at BackBencher & 4Kings  - I'm sure in no time would raise the necessary dosh for one -

My point exactly. People should be spontaneously supporting the team how they want,not being sheep following what some dick on a megaphone does. Who gets the megaphone? The most popular 'yf exec and friends'?

Rubbish idea.

Allegedly

We should have the guy over the stadium speaker orchestrating chants! That'd be loud and co-ordinated.

If the YF exec could promise me the gig with the megaphone, I would probably move back to Wellington.
 
Actually, they would have to pay for my flights as well.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Don't like that rule. Flares are class.
 
This. Flares rule.

Question to all the guys who think "flares are class". How and why? Why is letting off oversized sparklers at the football such a wonderful idea. Not taking the piss, it's a genuinely serious question.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Suppose that you begin by saying why oversized sparklers aren't a wonderful idea.

You will find there is a direct correlation between age and love of Flares.
 
Oh and Doloros.
 
1, They cost the club in fines.
2, Safety concerns

I didn't state an opinion either way so I don't need to justify an opinion I didn't give. 
 
However, maybe the fact that I'm over 7 years old means my fascination with fireworks isn't as strong as it might be.
