Before the game I rather grumpily stated that the zone was no place for the bangers and the guy one row down who was just in the process of unfolding one stopped, folded it back up, and put it away. Problem solved.


I think this is kind of sad and pathetic, to be honest. You're that fragile about what noise you hear at a sports event? Really?

edit: The whistle thing I understand completely and think it'll only take a word or two from one of the players for them to be given the old 'heave ho. But GIVING PEOPLE THE EYE FOR DARING TO BRING A BANGER INTO THE FEVER ZONE?!?! Come the f**k on.

let fans do what they want from now on - as long as they turn up...
I like tautologies because I like them.

Yeah I think we've got bigger problems to worry about than whistles.

Bangers dont annoy me particularly, but they are crap and its sad football supporters have to put up with rubbish like that, they are bound to annoy a lot of paying spectators trying to watch a game.
 
its just another example of stadium events degenerating into a fricking party, too much sodding about , not enough watching sport. Every event seems to have to be more and more like the sevens its seems now, and its a lot worse for cricket thats for sure.
 
As for the whistles, they cannot be part of stadium policy and surely anyone who notices these being used should tell the idiots to stop or alert stadium staff.

Bangers: bad. can't hear the chants over them. Really annoying and mindless.

Didn't the crowd numbers go down 3k since they introduced the thundersticks? Like someone said they should figure out their audience. Feels a bit insulting to just get the generic A-league package applied, even though big ups to Sony obviously. For crowds at the Netball, and Stadiums full of Koreans. Not for singing football crowds.

Yeah am well over them, had my grandad with my so stayed out of the zone, ended up getting hit round the head every couple of minutes, not to mention the constant popping as eejits jumped on them. What was worse was when someone grabbed the clackers, ARGH! It definately drowns out the chanting which sucks.

Crowds went down because we arn't winning and the rugby is... Nothing to do with bangers.

ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH

New chant?
 
To the tune of "Your So Shi*t its..."
 
"Shove your whistles up your F**king Arse"
 
or.
 
"Shove your bangers up your F**king Arse"

Good to see originality was the winner on the day.

Actually, no, it wasn't.

Its not exactly pc, but I'm thinking more along the lines of

"Blow your whistle, it you like if you like it up the ass! blow your whistle, if you like it up the ass"
or alternatively
"Blow your whistle if you like to bite pillows....

I'll admit it needs work, but chant that a few times and the kids with whistles will be hiding them quick smart. The worry is that Feverish will start bringing a whistle to games!

Someone needs to learn the difference between correlation and causation.
