You guys in Wellington should the get local Batacuda percussionists
along to the matches. Especially with Brazilians and a yellow
theme. They can be found at batacuda.org.nz. When we had South
American players at Kingz their fans with drums were more
entertaining than the game.
Im not going to play money to hire drummers, ill just give my Uncle
a few whiskys and have him bang at a drum and itll sound just as
good.
While were at it ill ring the greek embasy to send us some
bouzoukia and plates to break. OPA.
But yeah thats my opinion. Sorry Cuz.
I don't really like drums at a game...I'd rather hear chanting
or singing...It's more footballesk than drums.
Nah drums are awesome. I mean as a beat for when we chant. Not like
polynesian styles but just a snare drum or something would be
awesome!! And as u said we do have some brazilians so that would be
awesome.
it depends. with a big crowd we won't need drums to make noise, but with a small crowd they mite be ok.
but lets get brazilian supporters like this chik to come
along.
ye King Douglas farr ur sisters grown up in so many ways. I think shes looking at me. We need to all have yellow tops too or something to stand out in the crowd.
Drummers are about as pathetic as "Alllllll Blaaaaaaaaacks"
a beat when u chant is awesome. Just a simple one.
Beats are oh k at times, but sometimes they sound gay and itll end
up sounding like a big wad of noise like at the ruggers.
yep - bring on the drums, esp. to make the brazilian players feel
at home ...

You don't pay the drummers to come along to matches. You
invite them or even just suggest it. A soccer match is one of
the few places you can make noise in public without being arrested
and drummers are glad for the chance to get a beat going for a big
crowd. I'm a loud chanter dating back from the '70s English
Div 1 days, but having been a regular at Maracana (similar to the
cake tin!) you can't beat a few drums to get you going as well.
You guys who compare rugby to the atmosphere of a
Brazilian soccer match must be on another planet. Even the Fijians
(Ba FC) at Mt Smart a couple of weeks ago made more noise than the
All Blacks matches I've seen. If you don't make noise at a match
you may as well watch TV. Wellington is supposed to be absolutely
postive.
Drums drown out the crowd at times, maybe one or two would do much harm, i dont want a whole orchestra there tho.
No drummers for at least the first 3 home games- PLEASE
Hi Nembo, you could always set up a TV down at your local morgue to
watch the games.
Haha, ummm drums...yeah.
Would they even be let into the stadium?
I think it would be good just to stick with good old voice and
lungs.
what? you guys are gonna chant for the full 90? thats being rather
confident and one dimensional - bring on the drums!the
cowbells!the whistles! yellow fever take one block and batucada
take the block next to them and take turns? whats the big deal?
gives you guys time to think of more chants and take a
breather. i think it would be amazing
Chant for 90 minutes, nah, sing absolutely yes.

at home ...
If you want to make Brazilians feel at home...
(1) Turn up and welcome them at the airport when they
arrive
(2) Get shirts with their names on the back
(3) Think up appropriate songs to sing for them
(4) Live for your team

COWBELLS ? ? ?
If I hear one cowbell at a football game I'm going to

Agreed I hate the cowbells. I do not need to be reminded about the Waikato.
Also, you could invite the Brazilians around for a cuppa and a biscuit.

No ive had experience with drums at footy before - big no no
Nembo, experiences like this? - See post at 4:22pm today
onn page two of this thread: http://www.yellowfever.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=331&PN=2
Mate, thats effective because their so many of them and it dont
drown them out, at the Cake Tin it would easily drown us out which
is why its a big NO

Fair point. But it can be done.
BTW: We don't have to get a 100 dBA drum.
I dont see any logic to this.
Non of us have sung ANY songs at a Phoenix game before, I
doubt most of you kiwi born (non Bloc 5) have sang at a game before
(unless you do in the NZFC) - and no Weeeeeliiiingtooooon does not
count. When we have a decent amount of chants all going ect... then
we can go to the next level and be more creative. You're trying to
run when you can't even crawl yet, you see my point? And practice
sessions is gimpy, make it pre season for 'practice sessions'

You've come so far in such a short time Ben...

Let me spell it out:
By looking at examples of what others do, we can get a feel
fro the kind of atmosphere that is possible. All these threads are
is chances to play around with some ideas. You're most
welcome to contribute your own suggestions. . . .
Many of us have been to games in Europe and know what it's
like to participate in this kind of crowd, and we know what affect
it can have on the players. Unfortunately we come back here and go
to sports events and its back to the old "hurricanses, clap clap
clap" shyte again. When we try to suggest some new ways of getting
things fired up soemone comes along and tries to pour cold water on
it, or some old woman sits next to you with her grand kiddeis and
the security guards tell you to sit down and shut up.
Their ain't no harm in trying to explain how/ why we think
what they do works so well.
BTW: I agree with you about practice sessions, that's not
really necessary.

I know Im as keen as anybody, but I feel some people are jumping
the gun a bit here (weve had suggestions of cow bells and Knights
hooters)
I like the idea of drums but i agree with nembo. Lets see how many others will be chanting first. All your videos are great Phil, but they are being sung by 30,000 + fans.
Phil's right the players react to it. I know its hard to do
when you're 2 nil down, but a song that says we're with you can
help get a goal back and make for a decent last 10 minutes.
