When were you last at Harcourt Dennis ?
I posted these comments on the review of Friday Night:
Haha phil that was me and my mates over in the right hand corner, funny thing is alot of them only play social soccer, indoor etc but just enjoy a decent game of footy and all things sport in general! got some good support from a few lads from petone who showed up as well lol. yeah i agree with your comment about typical kiwi mockery, its hard to yell out something you know theres always gonna be that dickhead sitting near ya that's gonna be a wank about it
i dont agree uncle steve i think that we must be vocal these teams
are coming to OUR HOME we must not be outchanted by away fans, i
asume at least 500 people on this site will be at the games and
they understand that we must chant, 500 people is enough to make a
good noise
Presence known
I don't live in Welly so haven't been to any games but I was
talking to someone who was at both and said you
wouldn�t have known
Yellow Fever was there. Come on guys, we should be out in force and
making ourselves known at these games!!
Yep thats a good point - I am expecting when the first game rolls
around that there will be an abundance of Yellow fever - Ricki
Herbert retro shirts visable in the caketin. Mind you, would be a
brave man to wear just the tshirt today in Wellys cos its
absolutely freezing me b*lls material here!
Time and place lads, time and place...
(Having said that, I suspect that if the weather had been a little toastier we'd have been trying to move some shirts)

Yep, I've been to both games so far and it has been dead quiet!!!
Was hard to get into the game on friday cos of the terrible weather
and huddling up in the stands meant people were too far away from
the action.... Hopefully will get some great weather this weekend
and a much bigger more vocal crowd.
I think it will just take 1 person to start the ball rolling
and then it will be all on!!!

" the crowd was pretty bloody passive. I know it
was only a training run but jeeeess fellas. .. Luckily my
bruvva showed up and yelled a bit ;0.
Everyone seemed a bit nervous, and maybe scared
to stand up and let it rip, perhaps worried that some dick is
going to shut it down (typical Kiwi mockery attitude). . .
Without some leadership, I'm not convinced that it's going to
fly. Let's hope we get organised before long, otherwise
its giong to be a quiet season up in the stands "
Me brother and me was a little bit noisy. And so were the lads
at the top right of the stand - well done whoever they were. But
there was no organisation to it, just random outbursts - we might
as well have been at the ruggers. . . . I get the feeling
that anytime someone yellled out there would have been fuive others
hopign they would shut the hell up! Please don't mind me for being
a cynic but it seems like typical Kiwi cutters attitude to me
;)
Now I kow that the likes of nightz and some others seem to be
dead set against all organised crowd participation (claming that it
will happen organically) but if the efforts so far are anything to
go by . . . . . [shudder]. . . .

Wouldn't hav a clue mate, haven't been there since junior
soccer days!
As long as there is a sideline to stand on and get a
bit rowdy then i'm happy....
Dosen't matter where we play, can still get stuck in HN!
Fire up farkin!
I'm keeping my powder dry for the Basin... then we'll do some
Farken Firing up...
You better.
Farkin.
Oh the angst!
If you lot are going to spend the next three
months worrying about this you are all gonna get hernias and
be so uptight when it matters that you will crush yourselves
under the weight of your own expectations.
Relax. Enjoy the build-up. And remember, nothing kills an
atmosphere faster that some tit hell-bent on creating an
atmosphere.
Thank you Dr Chillout.

Where did you get that idea from? You obviously never saw me
at Erricson
i think a few games before and after the preseason bash would be a
good place to practise/get people chanting because we will be
laughed at if we are not prepaired, we have to have some chants in
time befor the melbourne game
Our first season will not be the most vocally in-syned supportive
due to the freshness of it. But with games well start getting the
hang of things. No rush guys. We have 3 years...

I doubt whether you'll get more than 30-50 away fans, so being
outchanted by them shouldn't be a concern, surely?
How did Bloc 5 run. They seemed to be relatively organised and got
good exposure. Would going down this path be the right thing to do?
They used to hand out song and chant sheets in the early days. You
need someone who is perpared to be loud and a leader like Ric.
Funny chants help with the fun of it, not too serious.

tend to agree with the below comments
I will be in melbourne when you guys come over twice.
I didnt say we wont TRY, i said it would sound that
n-sync.
By all means, scream your voice out, and so will i, but the
first years was always going to be a learning year.
