Tell them you’re with the Loyalists.

And, oh, tell them Arelius sent you…

Drums good, plastic horns bad, very bad.

Against SJ one of the fans right behind us had a couple compressed air horns. He also brought streamers and after Kreis converted the PK they were thrown onto the field. Probably frowned upon at now but hopefully if/when we get a stadium there will be plenty more of that.

You must sit right in front of me. I'm the fan in the second row that has no shame and comes dressed with a robe, crown, and scepter. Great seats!

I think I'll stop by Wally World to buy a few streamers as well. Should I throw them across the section? Up the section? On the field after the final whistle?

I agree with scholesy and think it would look fantastic if we all waited til the final whistle and everyone in unison throw our colored streamers on the pitch!

or we could throw them wherever... i'm easy like that!

I was at the RSL vs. San Hoser match and sat in the south-east corner. I like drums and other noise makers as much as the next guy, but only to a point. There weren't a lot of people in my section, but just a few rows up from us there was a group of people who all had drums, cymbals, sticks etc. When they first came in and started their drums up, I thought, Cool! But, when they never stopped except for a couple minutes here and there, I got sick of it. (They even continued banging their drums during half-time, except for about 5 min, during which I was hoping they would stop and I could get the ringing out of my head). I couldn't hear any of the announcers comments, like substitutions etc. Even when the crowd cheered, I could barely hear it.

Now, i'm not trying to be a party pooper, but after 2 hours of constant drum banging, I was getting sick of it. I don't mind if people bring their drums, sticks, or whatever to make noise and be noticed and cheer on the home team. But, please think of those around you! Take a break every little bit so as not to annoy those around you. ( I hope that doesn't come off as being a jerk, I enjoyed my time at the game and like fanatic fans, and just want to cheer on RSL and hear the reaction of the other fans in the stands when there is excitement on the field.)
