He/she seemed to start a lot of the Phoenix *clap clap clap*
chants, but he wasnt near us for either game. I'd imagine he's very
annoying close up

Thing is, there are other chants...
Having said that, the 'o wellington' chant seems to be slowly
catching on with the rest of the crowd 
more
and more are joining in! Its starting to sound great

same goes for people blowing horns, especially while people were walking through the stadium, GRRRR

Personally I didn't mind the whistle all that much, it was the way
that it was used that grated on me. Every five minutes
whistle guy was trying to start up another round of the one chant
and sure it was easy for the stadium to pick up on but was overdone
totally. It often started halfway through another chant from
lower in the fever zone and turned chanting into noise.

posted some comments on here a few days before the game...i flew
down from auckland and all i could hear was 40year old single women

f**k off. Seriously. I hate you.
I thought you were referring to the ref on Friday night

That ref on Friday Night blew his so often no one got a chance to
blow theirs!!
We need a deep drum to start it up. It might kill those
bangers. although they do sound awesome when you jump on
them.

To be honest the prawn and cocktail fans who thought they'd better
stand in the FZ and say jack sh*t all game rather go to the family
zone were more annoying than any whistles.
Thats for the beckham game - had no probs for the adelaide game

I had some lady next to me at the Adelaide game and she did nothing
at all just stood there, didnt clap once. Then when we scored I was
swinging my scarf around my head and then she grabbed it and made
me stop.
People like that arent needed in YF.

Let's be honest, who's responsibility is it to inform people when
purchasing their tickets exactly what Aisle 21 & Ailse 22 are
reknown for??
I mean come on, You know you are going to stand, you know
there is going to be singing, you know there is going to be
scarf/tee shirt/ bodies being waved around above the head, you know
there may well be some beer spilt, you know there maybe rude words
said - even in some songs!
These are things one learns after attending their first game.
I personally would like ALL ticketec outlets to inform/have a
notice on their shop wall/tell the telephone caller these things
before letting them buy their tickets. That way the buyer has a
chance to choose a ticket for an area more suitable.

Whistles, horns, trumpets, trombones, tubas, drums, xylophones.
All good, as long as you're not unfortunate to be stood next
to the person that's playing/blowing/banging them!
If anyone standing next to me at the Queensland game is
blowing a whistle or has any of those dumb-ass banger things, they
can reasonably expect to be requiring them to be surgically removed
after the game
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I'd be kind of tempted to bring a drum along especially since it
would get the chanting more co-ordinated but I really wonder how
happy the stadium lot would be for me to bring one in.
The stewards will probably take it away citing is as "offensive and dangerous"

Alternative is to have a "penned off" area, in the vicinity of the
FZ somewhere, where all the whistles, drums etc could be.

Yeah, you and the clan would be alright. It's that Chopper Harris character I'd be worried about

The guy with the drum that is on holiday now I think, was good.
Just a small handheld drum that he used to keep people on time in
chants.

Just a bit of a gut feel, but to me going to the football is as much about the atmosphere as the game. As a matter of fact, on my European adventure next month I'm hell bent on getting to a Premier League or FA Cup game in London (ANY team) not for the game, but the atmosphere..the singing... the colours.... duff man, ooh yeah.

That's "the Gman" on these forums, he's in England for 6 weeks
(hell of a time to go). I stand next to him in the Fever Zone
and he brings a small drum in no problem. Whistles of course
are far easier to smuggle in. Perhaps if anyone is next to
said whistle-blower they need to take it from him and biff it down
to the lower area of the FZ. That'd stop him sure
enough. Not that I condone throwing... perhaps just put it in
your pocket or something XD

Those thunder sticks made such a noise it was hard to hear
anything more than 5 metres away. I think that's why on Friday
night within the feverzone there were about 3 chants going at a
time instead of one powerful one. Hopefully they
were a one off. Can't wait for the Perth game, I'm hoping we
can get the chanting like it was when they were last in town, with
all the new Nix fans joining in.
Anyone know what happened to that teen that got taken away for
throwing bottles at the end of the Adeliade game?

The problem is that bloody whistler can't get the rhythm right - that's what's annoying. He ALWAYS puts an extra toot in. And he doesn't stop. He sat in front of me once and drove me up the wall. Put a sock in it you sad git.
Perhaps myself, Chooper and Football Mum should get a Chelsea zone going and do some real songs (only joking).
