It's easy to be easily offended when you're anonymous. That
said I feel sorry for the young lads if they're turning up and
having their game spoilt by numpties tipping beer on them.
I'm sure Tony Pignata is reading all of this though and
hopefully he'll have a word with David Gray and the security
folks.
Just remember, when people get chucked out for such behaviour,
that we asked for it!

"Just remember, when people get chucked out for such behaviour,

Exactly! I can imagine a huge post if the security guys
finally acted and tossed a few of the trouble makers out!
Especially if they were the ring leaders of the Fever!
In response the the guys getting beer thrown over them,
it seems to me that the Fever Zone is prone to rowdy behaviour
which is going to annoy those less inclined to enjoy the footy in a
different manner - if it annoys you then move to another area, the
view and entertainment value is just as good!

I dunno. I reckon once he starts warbling people will be leaving
without any help and the ones that stay will have fallen asleep so
they won't be able to cause any more trouble. Auckland

I sit right at the very front and don't cause any problems! My

score....its the t**sers behind me that throw beer etc and are
general idiiots.

You can throw whatever pale amber coloured liquid you like over your 'friends' in the privacy of your own home
But I want to be able to stand and sing without having stuff thrown around or poured on people - watch the f**king game and keep your water sports for home!!
If anyone does get tossed out for throwing stuff or deliberately spilling stuff on others or being too pissed to hold their cup/bottle then perhaps they'll learn how to behave in public.
THe YF zone was designed to allow fans to stand and sing, not regress to their kindy days (go to Otago Uni if that's what turns you on!)

"tigers" - i think we are on the same page fella! I agree with you!
Having said that, I personally avoid the Fever zone for the very
reason that I expected their to be some beer throwing going on down
the track.

Thats the point, fans want to be in the fever zone and
enjoying the singing, not removing themselves to a drier part of
the stadium so they can avoid getting soaked by idiots. Its the
singing and closeness of a bunch of fans that makes the
atmosphere.
The beer throwers/spillers are having fun in their mind
but how many other decent fans are having their fun ruined as a
result.

i like "The Cove's" rule,
"the only time a beer shower is acceptable is when our team
scores a goal"
sounds sensible to me.
Some people here just seem to be too nice and while what
happened on the weekend was not acceptable,we cant have
safety rules for everything and end up turning the place into
somewhere the opposition feel comfortable in.
Our job is to create an atmosphere that is
hostile within sensible means

As someone who has watched a lot of football in the UK, I can
assure you there isn't a ground in the country where you would get
away with a beer shower. More to the point, they don't let you take
drink away from the bar areas to your seats. We have it sweet
here - don't abuse it or we will lose it.

I have no problem with the occassional spray when we score.. but in the past few games i think its got a little out of hand

Well, the opposition would be fairly comfortable 'cos they aren't the ones having piss poured all over them. What has soaking people in beer got to do with creating a hostile atmosphere, unless you mean hostile to your fellow supporters.
Obviously a bit of beer being spilled accidentally when we score is unavoidable, but showering people with it?

yeah fair point, maybe we should be throwing the beer at the
opposition players.....
what i was trying to get across is that if people start going
way over the top on things then this atmosphere will be lost.i
agree the beer shower does not create the atmosphere and is
not the most pleasant of things buf if things get too
heavily policed then we will start to lose our edge

Throwing beer at the opposition, are you sure that's what you meant

Quite interestingly - to compare with other clubs - beer showers
are celebrated as part of the post goal ritual in the Cove in
Sydney.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong - but just to highlight it does happen elsewhere and compared to here it's considered as part of the celebration. We'll not many people complain on the Sydney website anyway.

Hey, I'll be more than happy if anyone wants to pour beer down my
throat at the next game I'm at. Just to help out, you
understand.
Maybe we should organise a line of snazzy Phoenix/YF plastic ponchos, then chucking a bit of beer around shouldn't be a problem

I'm assured the 'Desert Storm' Fever apparel was the perfect choice
last Sunday.

mate you must have been the only one not to realise i was
taking the piss.
feverish you have to be the man on the moon to get a beer
shower from me,your chances are cut in half though as you
never make the ground half the time.
while the coves rules may not be the way to go,im sure we
definitely wouldnt want to be following the victory
supporters....

It might give you more to buy supporters gear with too!A few
more flags waving would be better for the team than getting beer
soaked. That might be fun in Sydney but then, that really says it
all.
