un-feverish pests

un-feverish pests

people sitting down not making any noise in the fever zone??!?!?!??? how annoying!!!!!!

Someone get down the front with a megaphone and yell for a minute or two at the whole Aisle and encourage participation with a few choice cuts of language thrown in for good measure. Not for too long though, just minute or so.

not as bad as it has been to be honest. I only saw a couple of kids infront of me sitting. and they were still chanting. I was just glad to see it didn't go silent after the perth goal!

haha man2biron, there was that guy stting down in front of us...and this was right in the heart of the feverzone...dont know how he saw the game??

we had people sitting in our seats when we arrived, kindly asked them to move and they said well someones sitting in our seats (across in aisle 23) I said well you will have to ask them to move...later in the game I looked over they were all sitting and the people in front of them standing so I have no idea how they saw anything!

You sounded great on the box as it was. Surely if you start screaming at folks with a bull horn to participate in every single chant you're going to piss people off & lose your spontaneity?
You sounded great & for 10 000 people & tore strips off the 60 000/70 000 GF NRL crowd on Sunday.

Hey, it's peoples prerogative to sit down if they want to, even if it is in the FZ. I'm sure though that they will quickly realise what we are about and either catch the fever and stand up or move cos they can't see anything.

There was a couple in front of me (in the FZ) that were sitting down, I just about ended up on top of them when we scored our 2nd. But by the end they were on their feet like the rest.

Let's not do anything to alienate anyone who has come to support the Nix, everyone is entitled to show their support in their own way.

Having said that I thought it was brilliant when the whole crowd stood up when we chanted "stand up for the Phoenix".

If you want to be a sit-down-theatre-goer, why do it in the Fever Zone?

True but a lot of casual fans don't know what there getting into when the go into the zone.

Are ticketec selling tickets in the YF zone to people even if they dont ask to be seated there.I would have thought word was well and truely out there about what to expect if you are in the zone.Maybe ticketec need to be reminded what the zone is about and they shouldnt be selling casuals tickets there unless they ask for them.Just dont like the idea of people new to a Phoenix game being sold seats in the zone and them not enjoying the experience as much as if they had been seated elsewhere.

Rather than Ticketek only offering the zone if requested, they should just ask do you want to stand or sit and assign the tickets accordingly.

thats a good thought, dunno y they would give out precious YF tickets to all members of the public.... Im sure the general public would have seen the pics in the paper and saw us on TV enough to know what they are getting into if they sign up for the fever zone, i dont see any reason why people in the do not chant or stand up.

I agree if people choose to sit in the Fever Zone and not see anything, that's their choice, they're mental but it's their choice.

A pile of my workmates got tickets to the Newcastle match for the Fever Zone, one of them had to re-locate though as the mad fever fans terrified his young lad! :lol:

Urgh, it really irks me to see people sitting in the FZ. They're taking seats away from people who want to be there and stand, and with the limited space it seems really selfish to me. I'm all for more people joining in the Fever Zone and I'd love to see the zone extend to enguf the entire curva sud someday soon, but I want the entire zone standing up screaming their lungs out. Hopefully those who insist on sitting in the FZ either sit somewhere else and eat prawn sandwiches, or even better (by a country mile), stand up and join in!

On Sunday, there were a couple in the FZ still sat down in front of us (me, wife, daughter) when the teams were out. We don't want people immediately in front of us sitting down. I lent forward and softly sang to them, "stand up for the Phoenix" - and they did for the entire game

easy enough: "for the phoeniiix stand up!"

i made a point under "were here to watch the football" loads of people want to be part of teh fever but dont know what its about and end up complaining about the YF. if you want to be close to the action but arent willing to stand up and chant then i sugest astile 23. astile 23 still chant and stand up now and then its like a mini yf zone for people who dont like beer throwing and stuff. at the extreme end you could make yf on to people who have retro rickys and know the chants ect. i dont have a retro ricky sadly enough but i still chant and feel part of the fever every game, to be honest the fever is the reason why i go to all the games and got a season pass i love it, i cant imagine sitting down and not chanting after seeing the fever pre-season. i dont mind seeing new faces in the fever but you should realy know the chants or be willing to learn.

If you sit down in the Fz, what would you actually see :l

Flesh... lots and lots of Flesh

If we won the league, you would lots of yellow socks!!

just watched the replay and it is quite odd seeing some YF guys going off and next to them people standing there with hands in pockets looking like stunned mullets - very strange

Yeah whats that all about join in dont be muppets
