chants that we should never do again........*can of worms*

[adz]

bahaha nah there's always exceptions to the rules

 

[bjw]

replace "*scoreline* to the mariners" with "*scoreline* to the coasty boys" or "*scoreline* to the central coast"


thoughts.

 

[fedelta]

can that before it escapes

 

[FFC Mariner]

Sigh, dreams of a day when "stand up if you hate the scum" has the whole ground standing.

Oh well, one day

 

[serious14]

So your against a song that would go.............

"serious lost his mem-or-y, doo daaaaaa, doo daaaaaa"

?

Only if you start it.

wombat already suggested that, i believed he copyrighted it too

 

[BAD BULLZ]

;D Funny most of these chants got a run last night and went pretty well imho of course i reckon we should just sing whatever works on the day at the moment they might not be all that creative n probably over used but if it gets the bays making noise then i reckon sing whatever over done noise is better then no noise.

not enough people have seen the thread then

 

[Part_Timer]

exactly....i have made buisness cards with the link to this page to hand out to ppl next home game...should help

 

[Bear]

So............ what can we sing?

 

[~Floss~]

Although I've relegated myself to the fact that OCCASIONALLY "Mariners - Clap x 3" must be tolerated, it really must be avoided except in cases of extreme desperation. Twice half is WAY to often IMO.

Edit: twice per half ... as in two times within 45mins

 

[ponno]

the problem is all the chants this thread wants to stop are the only ones that get people going...because mostly they are simple... and swimming carnival like..... im all for getting rid of them but not until we have everyone singing our other ( what other? ) chants...

 

[~Floss~]

Anything that sounds like it belongs at a football match. 

All the long "oooooh oooooh" type ones that have been added this season are a step in the right direction. And they work because they are just as catchy and simple as the shitty preschool swimming carnival ones :shudder:, with the added benefit of being more football-esque in sound, and likely to keep going for longer. Often they build and get louder the more they are repeated.

The rest of the bays have given us "Mariners - clap x3" which fills in about 120 seconds per match. If we can't get the whole place creating an intimidating and inspiring cauldron of sound, then it's the job of the bay to create that vibe as best we can (in limited numbers) to fill in the other 88mins + stoppages.

Just because the swimming carnival thing works everywhere else in the stadium doesn't mean we need to do it. It happens without our help.

If we lead by example and focus on "atmosphere", people who don't get involved except for 2mins of ol' 3-clap can't complain about the Marinators being a sub-standard supporters' group. However if we persist with crap chants, more and more people will begin to agree with the naysayers, especially once participation begins to fall off.

 

[FFC Mariner]

To be fair, the Mariners clap-clap-clap is about all you get from the other parts of the ground.

Its a start.

On Saturday night, it happened a couple of times and its about the only time the atmosphere in the whole stadium lifts.

 

[Blackadder]

Unfortunatly the so called "shitty" chants are the most effective at this stage at getting most involved.
Have to walk before you can run.

 

[coast]

My favourite that i don't think we see enough is the sh la la lala lala ohhh central coast. So easy to join in on and sounds great IMO

I am well aware of this fact, but I think they (the shitty chants) are already doing as much as they can. Just because Mariners clap3 gets the kids going for 2 mins doesn't mean it'll fly for 90 mins.... or 10' for that matter.

At the moment the majority of the crowd don't sing for the majority of the match. The Marinators do, week in, week out. One day (we hope - but it will take a long time) other parts of the crowd will start catching on to something other than 3-clap.  Then we'll be saying "don't stop doing that, it really gets the crowd going".

Problem is, if that next chant (or, preferably, next song) is as monotonous and lame as 3-clap, we'll already be sick of it by the time the crowd starts to catch on. Then if they do catch on, we'll be stuck persisting with another cringeworthy chant.

Good example - I was thinking on Sat how it's been a while for that one.

 

[Paolo]

So............ what can we sing?

mariners clap clap clap for 90mins straight imho


In all seriousness though....there is know reason for the bay to start a mariners clap clap clap....the rest of the stadium doesnt follow a lead and will start it themselves if  and when they feel the need

 

[Bear]

And they do. When attacking at our end, quite often the stadium can be heard doing it
