Stand Up For the Phoenix.

It�s our marketing slogan for the season � but are people going to sing it any better this year? i.e. in tune

 

Not sure why I�m putting this here � just getting bored of talking about Sky

I thought you were more opposed to Mexican waves than you are healthy food?

I think singing 'Stand Up' more than once a half is a bit twee!

How about a minutes silence for the ref (if hes had a bad day and weve lost) as hes coming off the pitch, that would be eerie!

So anyway, he says naively. Why isn't it "Stand up for the Wellington"...

Everyone saying "Sshhhhhhhhhhhhhh" at the same time works quite well, although not as great with the size of away supports in the A-League I guess.

Timing is everything for this.  Needs to be when things are getting tough and we need to give the team an extra lift or when its all good and we are celebrating a win that's in the bag.  Although as we support the Phoenix we would want a five goal cushion and the ref to have blown his whistle for full time.

Can we have a "chant sheet" for that one?

I'm slightly disappointed!

Supposed to be rain on Sunday. Not  good start. I have 4 mates who said they'd come if its fine. But ah well.

I like the idea of being quiet. would be weird.

All Aboard the Phoenix/ All Whites Bandwagon!!

That would be nice coming from YF.
 
The Engris did a minute's applause which is a great gesture.  however that's because he was an English Manager and influenced the game over there.  Quite different to the A-League so wouldn't really be correct to have anything official.
 
But if YF do it we in the lesser Aisles will too.

Hey, I loved the man dearly but not at a Phoenix game... his relevance to the game here is limited unless you are an expat or a rabid Ipswich fan.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Are there any other types of Ipswich fans?!
