The only others that I'd really recognise would be the "Pompey Chimes" and "Blue Moon", and maybe "On The Ball City." Well, I'm pretty sure there's no "United" in City's name, a Salah that plays for Melbourne or an area in the ground known as the RBB that we sing about whilst doing the poznan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather sing those than the same, bland chants we drone on with tbh, at least they created more noise than the others When the terrace is half full, getting aggro with the blokes who are showing up (and particularly in the case of the guys who started these chants, who were the only guys in the terrace who seemed to want to try and create atmosphere) isn't going to do much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have fans from many clubs, borrow away. Moreover, happens all the time in the UK. Walsall fans most loved chant is one nicked from Newcastle United to the tune of Blaydon Races. All we did was change the street name so that the lyric was 'Walking down the Wednesbury Road to see the Walsall aces'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 You've got six months to come up with some good ones for next season and beyond, whether they're new or borrowed. No point in throwing the baby out with the bathwater. If you stick to something that most people recognise than there's a good chance that more people will join in.

Forever City Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I would say the biggest problems for the terrace are. People turning up to the terrace Holding a chant longer than 1 minute. General participation in chants. As @jw1739 said they have 6 months to figure things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart of oakleigh Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Called up membership department today to renew my silver membership. Steve gave me a 5% discount which added up to $25.00 Surely we deserve a 10% discount 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Adelaide have announced cheaper memberships. For example, their Adult GA is now $258 per season (next season 14 matches). Ours is $290 per season (next season 13 matches). Not much in it, but I guess every little helps. On the other hand their Child GA is $70 and ours $65. Swings and roundabouts.
