should the marinators be in a better bay....

You bring a traffic cone into the bay and use it as a megaphone, ill jam it up your ass

I think the bay on the southwestern corner, directly opposite where the Jets sat last night, is ideal. At least you've got some undercover to enhance the chanting. The voices just get lost in open air, that's why the Squadron sometimes sound better in their bay - they have a roof to spread their noise.

Another thing to note by the way... there needs to be a better way to distribute streamers - too many people throw them before the team runs out and it ruins the effect

Opposite away supporters would be out of view of TV coverage.

i think if we can keep replicating last nites effort and co ordinate it a lil better 16 will be fine ppl just need to fire up for all games not just derbys and SLOW DOWN with the chants haha

It's a catch 22 for me on the drums. If i drum to what's already being clapped then "it's to fast", and i tend to agree.

But if i drum slower, try to get them to follow me and then they dont, then i look like a bad drummer.

I will be in the middle of the bay next home game. I think we should set up there craig.

OK... then Marinators in Iguana's corner (where away groups currently are stationed) and Jets in the Brian McGowan Bridge corner. Either way, the Marinators need a roof if they want the chants to gain any volume. My point is they are lost to open air in any bay between 10 & 19.

and u were in the bay helping....ok awsome :

What shat me off about last night was we had a game against our biggest rivals, holding a slender 1-0 lead against a team we havent beaten at home (in a regular season game) since farkin NYE 2005 and what did the vast majority of bay 15 do??

Nothing, just sat there mute until the stand up for the Mariners chant about 10 mins from the end.

Whats weird is there were guys sitting quietly doing nothing who will be at the SFS going mental and standing for 90 mins.

Anyone got an answer coz it beats me

They dont want to feel like theyre embarrasing themselves infront of people they know?

Yeah, because narkily responding to someone putting forward a suggestion on how to improve things is really a good helper...

I'm trying to offer solutions to something that appears to be an issue - god forbid I do that from an outsiders perspective? I cheered loudly from my seat in the stands, I did my job last night thanks very much.

 

[~Floss~]

I walked around a few parts of the stadium last night at the start and end of the game. I can see why anyone sitting in the southern 2/3 of the western side, (and probably a lot on the eastern side too) could say that the away supporters are much louder than the marinators.

The accoustics of the home and away support areas are currently an advantage to the away team. The amount of noise you hear when in bays 15-17 is actually quite good, but the sound is lost unless you are right there. The away area faces and projects towards the easternwestern stand, and the sound resonates through the whole eastern stand because of the concrete corridor behind them and the roof and upper tier above them.

Theoretically if the end of the stadium was the same design as the sides, the marinators' sound could resonate through most of the stadium and create the sound of a home fortress that the away team currently gets the advantage of.

 

[~Floss~]

...but we all know that and can't do anything about it. just an observation i guess

yes well i must appologise then..thank you for putting forward ideas i already stated when making the thread ....and it wasnt narky it was sarcastic

 

[tim...]

That's all the point I was trying to make. Away supporters (which really sums up to Sydney and Newcastle, noone else brings a true group to Bluetongue) currently have the decisive advantage with acoustics. Well put floss.

Beary, I aint that loose. The way I see it, anything that helps get the bay chanting is a good thing. We need another megaphone or two, that's for sure, because people at the front can't hear what the blokes at the back are yelling. It's all about co-ordination.
