Only two home games left!

Merrill · 09-04-2006, 09:51 PM

First, I want to say thank you to everyone who has made these last two games some of the best we've ever had as a supporters group. From the flag waving, to the chanting, to the energy levels, to the full section, it's been pretty awesome. Thank you so very much for making it fun.

Now comes the meat. It's sad, but true. There are only two home games left. Two! I say, since it's our last chance, let's take it to the next level. You'll have four or five months to recuperate if you need it. What else can we do to take it to the next level?

Any ideas would be welcome.

I was thinking we could work on a few things. Has anyone seen supporters groups do coordinated chants? For example...our chant that goes like this:

Let’s Go
(Tune: “Let’s Go”)
clap, clap
clap, clap, clap
clap, clap, clap, clap
Real!

on theloyalists.com it says that at the end of this chant when we say "Real," each person should hold their arms up in a V shape.

Do you think we could try that when we do this chant next Saturday? I know that the majority of people that sit in our section do not frequent our little message board, but if a core group of people (those of us that do frequent this board) did the actions, then the rest, I believe would join in.

It looks really cool when it is actually put into practice. If any of you observed Sam's Army when they were here for our WCQ last year, then perhaps you saw them do it. Even though they were sitting in the south endzone you could plainly see their coordinated chant from E32.

What other ideas do y'all have?

Yes I suppose that would be the opposite of what normally happens... wouldn't it?

Thanks for the help Donk.

Please don't rise to the bait, Deuce. I'd like to keep this thread on subject.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Someone on Bigsoccer mentioned that Vanilla Ice called.

He wants Pat Onstad to give him his hair back.

i'll try doing it as long as i don't have a flag ... if i put the flag down i forget about it... and if i try to clap while holding the flag it goes flying all over the place ... although that might make some cool shots for Deuce

i can see a headline now:

English Hooligan massacres loyalists ><

We should do those table rolls again as long as you still have some left Merrill.

We should also check with the Front Office and see if for the last game they will let us do a "End of Season Streamer Salute" again.

That was great last year.

What doesn't work however is when we tried to get the whole side ready and most of those streamers were thrown in hate towards the chivas (or was it rado) players.

You could distribute them the moment the final whistle is called. The salute would happen maybe a minute after the game ended, but it would still be cool. Then no worries about the players being injured during the run of play.

That's a great idea. I still have a few bags worth of streamers that I prepared for the season, and was never allowed to use. I could just pull them out.

I have tons of those left. I've brought them to the last two games in a row. The first time I got there too late to get them ready, and then last came I was prepping the front row folks to roll them out if we score and they were very luke warm about the heavy responsibility. So I didn't bother.

Should we have them out the whole time, like the first time we had them? Or should we roll them out at goals and halves? What do you think, Cup?
