PETITION......

......to get a close-to-identical set up that was present behind Bay 23 yesterday built behind Bay 16 up here.

Truly amazing, I am utterly jealous of the Cove getting to use that every 2nd week.  I would love our already brilliant stadium even more if we had something similar to that behind the Bay.  Best view of a game I've ever had behind the goals, and the best pre-game time I've ever had at a Mariners game.

Who's with me??    ;D ;D ;D

 

[skilbeck]

id love to support it but unless you want to fork out the many millions of dollars to do it i somehow dont think itll be done

 

[fish]

certainly was special...itll never happen at ours but lets dream

 

[serious14]

Yeah yeah, I know - I'm just trying to help cheer people up.......  ;D

 

[fish]

Lol

Old Spirit fans will remember the wheel-barrow of beer at Pittwater Park. Illegal I suspect but worked wonders!

 

[tyson]

what exactly would we want done though?

an area behind bay 16 with a roof and a bar behind it?
i loved the set up there... it was a cool little area to be in.

that stadium is electric. it was ridiculous when sydney scored in the v1 grand final.

Whats the point when noone f**king sings?! We deserve nothing.
Im sorry guys but our form on Sunday was pathetic.

And besides, if the club wouldnt help us with a nice big bit o fabric like what the jets had at the game, what makes you think we're going to get a bar and a standing section?

 

[serious14]

Perm, mate, take a deep breath and caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalm......... I was just trying to cheer us up with a bit of humour based on how good Sunday's pre-game was.

I must say I have to disagree with your comment on our form - for about the first 30 of the game anyway, but can you blame a majority for not singing based on the dross we were treated to on the field??  Again??  I know I sang and chanted and all the rest of it for about the first 75, but when it became apparent that most of our players didn't care and the result was already pre-determined, then I figured what was the point??

Re: the Squadron's bit of cloth - as best as I understand they are not affiliated with the Newcastle Jets in any way, shape, or form...... and they go to great pains to remind us of this independence.  So I think the point there is that their bits of cloth had nothing to do with their club.

I think a stadium upgrade to that end in the next 5 years is more than feasible, especially if NRL attendances during their season keep up around the 15 to 17 000 mark (more stadium tenants = more bargaining power), and our summer attendances keep equalling sell outs over the next few seasons.  Basic economy of scale really - where there is demand, it will be supplied.  If the demand for a nice new Northern End is needed, then I don't see a reason as to why it won't be provided.  (with enough prodding by us of course)

I thought chanting was bad where I was and they wont really catching on by people

 

[Pokes]

Chanting wasn't great but hey...we've seen our competition (Squadron) and now we have a goal to beat.

We can so do it this year.

 

[skilbeck]

agreed

 

[marconigirl]

Over in bay 26 it was hard to hear some of the chants, but as soon as I recognised them I (and other people around me) joined in....
There were also people in the bays left of us that were chanting heaps too. Usually different to bay 22 but they were still doing it...

thats because we still sing when we are losing or watching shite football - something others don't do..... as the above comments in this thread prove

if you didn't sing when watching shite football you would never sing

There were also people in the bays left of us that were chanting heaps too. Usually different to bay 22 but they were still doing it...

Yea - I was in Bay 26 and found it hard to here Bay 23.  When we heard we joined in. However, we were harassed by a Bay 16 BTS resident who would abuse us for being quiet. The only noise I heard from him was his bitching about our lack of noise. As a bay 6 BTS resident I wasn't going to start chants (though I realise I could have) but was looking to join in whenever we could hear a chant. The grand final should be about including supporters - not bagging them out - unimpressed!!!
