PRE-GAME SONG

[priorpeter]

Does Peter Prior have to go to the desert for 40 days?

I was on my way, but if you're saying i don't have to....

 

[adz]

We won't know unless you try

 

[EastCoast]

Heard the "organic" ideal a lot over the years on these boards. Bucking the trend on this one.

If the net result is zero after 8 seasons, there is nothing to suggest it might well not be the same situation after 16 and 24 years. "Nothing can come of nothing" as it goes.

And why are ideas generated off a clubs forum by some of it's most passionate fans inorganic?
Does Peter Prior have to go to the desert for 40 days?
Kwassie sit under a Bohdi tree?
Hutch have to wake up after a GF bender with the lyrics tattooed on his ass?

And what's to be scared of? If something sucks it simply won't take off. That's one down, and a step in the right direction.
If we're talking big picture and long term footballing culture, no one will be looking back on the club song of the last hundred years saying:
"yes... but it was never really that organic was it?"

Club should take a leaf out of WSW book imo. Get a range of songs, take a vote, and see whether it takes off. Only TIME and "TESTING" will decide if anything will ever be the right fit. And throwing ideas forward, making mistakes and seeing what sticks, is about as organic as creation gets. What matters is whether it is "beloved". And again, that will only be decided in the trying.

Peace, love and song creation,

Very nice.

I guess testing needs to be done, and also an 'executive' decision needs to be made by a 'core' group of people to lay the law down.

Having a regular snoop at NT and RBB forums, dozens of chants are submitted for critique (and most of the time ended by humourous abuse) by the forum, picked up by a core group, noted to be practiced and, if successful, listed as a chant.

I know some people here have an issue with taking a leaf out of other active supporter groups, but seriously, you can see the results in their stands.

Note, I refer to the core as 'core' because I don't know how CCM refers to their main group.

Lol.

I don't think Im quite sure what Ur saying.

. i think the mariners like to refer to their 'core' as members ... or are you suggesting the 'core' only comes from 'active support'?

 

[sydmariner]

Lol.

they're all sh*t

 

[EastCoast]

. i think the mariners like to refer to their 'core' as members ... or are you suggesting the 'core' only comes from 'active support'?

Well, I guess I'm referring to the active support leaders? Sure, yes; we're all one; but I am referring to a group leading active support.. if there is one.

they're all sh*t

come on, syd. I love to "hate" on rival supporters - particularly NT, RBB, Cove etc - but you can't dismiss what they have achieved. Particularly NT, who have been there since the start and continue to impress.

I don't know what WE as active supporters expect of ourselves to be like. I mean, sure, admittedly I have only been back in the country for 3 months and have unable to provide services for the last 4 years, let alone have a firm grasp of what what our goals and expectations are as a group...


..so maybe someone can fill me in?

(feel free to PM me to avoid cluttering the thread)

. apologies for the half-smart query

. i was genuine in asking if you meant the 'active support' ... but also serious that, personally, i do not consider the yellow army as our 'core'. i don't intend to be dismissive of the efforts of the YA but the bulk of the mariners support (or indeed those on the forum it seems) would not be considered 'active'

. i suggest that you PM peterprior if you want to support the active cause through the yellow army

Any questions you have mate, PM me here. I'm that idiot drunkard with the megaphone.

Real talk: Pete Prior doesn't actually drink; he just pretends to look big in front of the kids.

Way to blow my cover, man.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Actually, he drinks Canadian club which, as everyone knows, isn't a real drink.

Baby harp seal walks into a bar. Barman says "What are you drinking, baby harp seal?"

Baby harp seal looks at him and says "Anything but Canadian Club on the rocks."
