I'm more worried about this in the kendall bar than the bay tbh.

We all follow the yellow football team....

This is the only one that everyone in the bay gets into, lets make it our anthem.

....no

reasons;
- Can't Help Falling In Love- Elvis Presley is a proper football anthem.
- We all follow a yellow football team, is a chant.

No it's not. It's a 50's crooners song by a big fat long dead pop star who liked too many peanut butter, bacon and jelly sandwiches:

Maybe there's a better anthem here:

Stick with what you've started.No song will ever take off if you change it every 5 minutes.

The songs not the problem.

Singing at the football is not in the Australian culture.People are more likely to sit and stare at those doing the singing than join in regardless of what song it is.

It'll take time.

Actually singing in any form of celebration is not part of our culture as it is in other parts of the world. Add the white anglo demographic of the Central Coast and it makes it worse here.

Will defintely take time.

I wouldn't say the white anglo thing has much to do with it MM.

Singing at the football, especially internationals when it's hard to spot someone _not_ singing was common when I lived over there.

In fact I used to go to watch Ice Hockey with the Mrs on a Sat night after the football in the afternoon and the Mrs loved it because of the singing (and the violence) 

In a little 2500 seater ice rink we used to lift the roof off the place.

She doesn't go to many sporting events here but when she does she nearly always comments on the fact that Australians don't sing.

Shame.....belting out a song with your mates is a great feeling!

Hard liquor at the bar would change that in an instant.

Would also change the amount of viloence during and after the game and increase the cleaning bill dramatically but hey, you gotta break a few eggs to make an omlette.

Doesn't stop Newcastle fans, or Sydney fans for that matter.

 

[Bear]

maybe newcastle or sydneys fans have not left the supporters bay in droves this year

 

[bjw]

it's all about Culture

 

[MrCelery]

You have a problem when singing is not part of the culture AND you have a crap complicated song to sing.

As for the white Anglo thing, try telling that to the Welsh. You won't find better singers at a football match anywhere. So maybe MM is part right in that perhaps it is a Central Coast 'thing'!
