Songs 'N Chants

[penwingman]

what ever it is make sure the chants are loud and audible, simple chants lend themselves to greater crowd involvement.

tbh i would prefer a whole bay singing a decent sounding chant then a whole stadium singing "mariners clap clap clap'......but thats me

It's all about education young keensy.  Last season was the first season we've heard the rest of the stadium chant much of anything... so at this point, we should be grateful they've found their vocal chords.

This season it time to strike while the irons hot!  Bays 15, 16 and 17 need to chant as loud as possible, and eventually the rest of the stadium will catch on.

Have faith young one.  Lead, and they will follow.

yeah, but the issue atm is that the bay cant seem to string a decent song together.....should be worried about sorting that out before worrying about getting the rest of the stadium involved.

I agree, at times the bay effort isn't 100%.  Your complaint was with regards to 'Mariners clap clap clap'.  I would say 8/10 times the bay has participated in this chant is because the rest of the stadium is doing it.  There's not point in chanting against it, you may as well go with the flow.

I agree, at times the bay effort *and willingness to learn new songs* is non existent. 

fixed it for you

Don't you mean fixed it to suit yourself?

Whatever is agreed as a new chant or song, it needs to be simple so that more people can/will join in. I sit on the 1/2 way line with my father and it is hard to hear what the bay is singing and therefore join in. The ones that are usually clear are: Mariners, clap, clap, clap; Come on you Yellow; Lawrie McKinna's Yellow Army.

I am keen to get the Prawn Sandwich Brigade that sits around me to get involved but trying the decipher songs (especially long ones) in time to have other people join in is very difficult.

Pick a song that has a tune most people will know: Hickory Dickory Dock; I still call Australia home; The National Anthem.
Change the words to suit.
Sing all game long until everyone gets it

Just as an example (To the tune of I Still Call Australia Home)....

We've played Newcastle
And Sydney as well,
When we went to Perth
Boy did we give them hell
No Matter how far or how wide we roam
We still bring the Premiership home

How about this for when the Red Cards are used at Shield/Breeze.....
(to the tune of I See Red by Split Enz)

Another A-League referee
I see red, I see red, I see red
You're not fit for the Junior League
I see red , I see red, I see red
I see reeeeeeeed, I see red

ARRRHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...thats a pearler

And a lot more PC than trying to get the angels "am I ever going to see your face again" going when the red card comes out. I still reckon if griffiths got the red the angels will be sung by one and all with gusto.

The only problem with i see red will be the tendency to do it fast.

 

[BrisRecky]

well....it was a pretty brisk tune anyway  Dru....the Enz didnt muck around with that one at all


Matthew Breeze hits the coast
I SEE RED, I SEE RED, I SEE RED
or
when sheilds gets his arse on the pitch
I SEE RED, I SEE RED, I SEE RED

I have to agree with Keensy, we need new material, there's plenty of suggestions we've just gotta learn them and try them out!

If I hear let's go Mariners let's go 1 more time I'm gonna scream!

For example this is so friggin easy to learn and with a load of people shouting it would sound awesome :

No one rates us
No one rates us
No one rates us
We don't care
We're the Mariners
Super Mariners
We're the Mariners from the Coast

We are the Coastie boys

We are the Coastie boys
and if you are a Jets fan
Surrender or you'll die
coz we are follow the Mariners

 

[Mariner Girl]

I would like to see more singing (as in the EPL) than chants. Mariners clap clap clap
doesn't have the same effect as the whole bay(s) singing.  verhead:

 

[mariners4ever]

[goingtoadisco]

[FFC Mariner]

[FFC Mariner]

[Arabmariner]

Hope thats not what the bays gonna be like all season...
