Yellow Army ... just giving some feedback on last night ... best ever crowd in terms of response so tho we could create a thread where feedback and suggestions could be given to you guys from folk who sit in the stands...
Normally I am in bay 42 but last night was in bay 23 much closer...
The megaphone ... yep heard it for the first time great investment...
Chants
Chants that got picked up by the stands very quickly
The time honoured ... Mariners clap clap clap
From RBB... Who do we sing for .... we sing for yellow
WE Follow ..... Mariners...
We are champions
Stand Up and Cheer ... Worked a treat as we heard the call ...
Suggest slight change..
Clap Clap Coast ..... seems there is a change in speed and noise as you go tho a sorta of cycle kinda confused many ... maybe keep it at the one speed beat whatever ... many seemed they wanted to join in but could not get the speed ...
The .. We Love you .... seemed way to hard for most to pick up [see suggestions latter]
Observations...
Many wanted to join in but not constantly me thinks we area while away from having the stands in constant or semi constant responding... not sure where it lies maybe suck and see what works..
Little one ... the stands seem to react to the one word response..
Suggestions
These maybe impossible or need another 500 or so YA folk ... but for what it's worth ...
Sit some groups in the stands of maybe 5 to 10 who will join in the home end chant and teach and encourage those around them.
Record the chants and see if local radio will play them ... needs to be kept to under a minute ... OK it's difficult and will they play ....but will help with the overall education... same for the express could they publish the chants a couple of times ....
A longer version of the chants if recorded could be left on a number of web sites ... and if the local radio stations are on board on their sites as well...
Getting really hopeful .... if radio stations play the chants maybe a primary school competition for what school does the best version of the chants ... prize is the school get ... my guess 500 or 1000 free tickets to a match against PG or the Nix [ie a game that needs a crowd anyway]..
Given my obversation that the one word chant get picked up quick ... a chant that does work is the """ What a waste of Money""" this cannot be used for everything... maybe the donkey call could be started for simple mistakes ... a poor pass from an average player, keeper kicks the ball out ... its goes .... EOR...
Finish
This feedback is provided in the spirit of not having a go at anybody / group or activity and I hope others add their tho's...
