Team Song Chant

Given what has been going down all season with the Warriors fans doing the team chant and it sounding so dam good.
Yes we have Oh Wellington but it dosnt come across the same.
This is something that should have been done long before know and is disappointing that nothing has been done about it despite being suggested  a number of times over the years by multiple people. Shark i can remember it being raised at an early YF gathering.
Any chance one of the executive could raise this with the Phoenix that is if people want it.
I think initially it needs to be driven by the club then picked up by the fans.

Happy to raise this through the Fan Representative Group.  So I'm sure what you're asking for, is it that the club come up with a chant for fans to do?  The Fever have generated new chants year on year since the beginning, some get traction and some don't.  How do you see the club driving it?

Im guessing you havnt seen whats happened with the warriors chant. They use a version of the team chant and that was driven first by the club and the players allowing it to be used. They dont use it excessively like we seem to do with some chants. Lets be honest its a while since the Fever came up with a chant thats stuck around like some of the old favourites have.

 No I haven't quite boarded that bandwagon yet.  So the question for the club is whether they have or would come up with a team chant that fans could use?

Have spoken to Domey about it but seems he dosnt get what im on about either. Just thought what happened after the Warriors won last week was so dam impresive and sounded friggen awesome. They dont over use it and its bloody simple.
Watched something on telly not sure where and seems it was driven initially by the club. They use an adaption of the team chant the players use after a win seems the players gave their blessing for it to be used.
Was just an idea thought given our success over the years might be something we could pull off hate being out done by another code.

Just for added context as to how it came about for the Warriors fans.

- 10+ years ago the team song was created by a New Zealand musician (Peter Urlich maybe?) for the team to sing in the changing rooms when they win a game. All teams in the NRL have one.
- Over the last 4 or 5 seasons, the club have released video clips of the team singing the song post win. So most rusted on fans were aware of the song and knew most of the words
- This season, in one of their outstanding weekly/fortnightly social media videos they documented how Savage "remixed" the chant and hinted at their being an opportunity for the fans to sing it, which led to hype ahead of the next home game.
- The Warriors won the next home game and a video appeared on the big screen with Savage and others screaming the Warriors chant along with the words for everyone to read and follow along.
- The song has since been sung numerous times at Mt Smart and numerous times by the fans in Australia.

It’s an Aussie tradition of a dressing room victory song? NRL and AFL at least do it. Seems like the A league doesn’t do it…yet. 

Some of the the Aussie ones are doozies. The Brisbane Lions one is based on the French national anthem, with more family friendly lyrics…

Yes it's a very Aussie sporting thing to have a team victory song. Their cricket team even has one. Many of the AFL ones sound very 1940-50s cheese, which is probably when they were written. They are belted out over the speakers post game, and the fans sing along. But don't know if any A League teams have one.

So the Nix need a dressing song first aka the Warriors, before Ballane's plan can go into action. 

I remember playing at Clendon FC a few years ago, they had their team song painted on the wall, and my coach said that his team had one of those when he was younger. So maybe it was a wider thing in football at one stage?

We better get Phoenix Fever going before the line ‘on club of NZ’ goes out the door

Riiight, okay that makes more sense. Even I wasn't understanding what ballane was saying, and I'm an Aussie.

Recorded team songs are synonymous with Aussie sports, including the old NSL clubs (which you hear during the Australia Cup coverage in the changerooms sung by the players). Even the juniors have a "zigga zagga zigga zagga oi oi oi" chant that they sing on the pitch. The most famous song in Aussie sport has to be the Richmond Tigers in the AFL:

This song (which I reckon I heard 15 times that day, as a rival supporter) works, but only if the 100,000 fans go ALL IN. If AFL teams are winning by a lot, the fans will sing it during the game without the recording playing.

Even A-League teams have songs before the games start. Adelaide had (has?) one, and Glory have... This...

If Kiwis aren't accustom with this tradition, I don't see it catching on, but it's an idea, no less!

In the AFL I back Hawthorn and Sydney, but even I have to admit Richmond have the best song

We're the All Whites, and we're marching off to Spain, we'll score goals, goals, goals ...

Poor Oska doesnt seem to have an answer yet.
Question
"So you want me to ask this?"
Response
"three paragraphs where there isn't a yes or no answer"

I'm not opposed to this idea, but when its bad, its really bad - like the "Unity beat" for the World Cup was just downright awful. Far harder to execute this well then it is to execute it badly.

also works best in a full stadium with the whole crowd involved.

 Many thanks.  If Savage is keen I'm 1000% on board.
