Flare

There's constant discussion about that - the 'songs and chants' thread talks about that. discussion about moving to another bay is about that, discussion about getting key members to stand in places other than Bay 16 is about that, talk about how to organise chants, TIFO displays, megaphones, etc etc is all about that.

and so far its all talk..no cnuts are willing to stand up and chant for 90 mins bar maybe 20 ppl in 4 years WOW

Its all well and good to say we should do this and that but what i find is this supports club is very very conservitive you can say what you want but its like talking to a wall.

Then the other few thousand obviously want to support differently! Get over it!

No you weren't - at least from what any literate person could decipher. You made the usual big statement!

Anyway if only 20 out of 150 want to stand and chant for 90+ there is not a lot you can do about it.

We need more drumming. Drumming keeps people in time, going with the sonds, and sounds good around the ground. IMO

The first 20 mins of the last game was the best i had heard the bay for a while. The fact that we were going to get belted, and everyone learnt that very quickly, is probably why it died off.

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

what he said.  Drums added so much atmosphere when we first started to use them.

id say the last 20 was our best tbh, knew we were getting smashed, sang songs to take the piss, had a laugh with mates, HAD FUN at a mariners game for the 1st time in ages

we had that much fun getting pumped, imagine how it would have been if we were the team up 5-0 at full time.....

THIS!!!!

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

wtf kind of input is that?

 

[serious14]

Epic Mum joke right there but I won't. 

Just re-inforcing the fact that I think a lot of us forgot what having fun at the football was like, and relishing the irony that the most fun we've had in a long time at a Mariners game was when we were getting towelled.....

the last 4 years iv felt sorry for perth fans

now, not so much.....

and your attitude is why the bay fails so much... your view of let em do whatever they want is why there is no coordination of the bay/chants/tifo....

to stand in bay 16 you have made a statement that you want to be ACTIVE all game and support your team in a active way...if not guess what there are 30 odd other bays to sit and clap...

Maybe except my attitude was not 'let them do what they want' ...

Another problem is that your idea that to be in Bay 16 requires "stand and chant for 90+" is perhaps more the 'attitude .. why the bay fails so much'.

It isn't the only way, and that is all I am saying.

Thanks for the actual argument at last.

 

[uptheguts]

I thought it was funny.(not like someone was running around with it or threw it)

Clearly the game was not interesting and someone decided to make their own fun.

Its time to move on.

 

[dibo]

move on, by reviving a thread that has been dormant for a week?

 

[bjw]

zofl.

we are the last team in the league to rip a flare at our home ground. (except maybe wellington)
Melbourne do it week-in/week-out, sydney use them, adelaide, qld... well, you get my point.
blah, blah, blah move on people.
