Getting the biggest organised sound out to the field is what it's all about. I also heard it going around Anfield the other day.

no everywhere we go. remember its a football match not a school carnival and let's not sing yellow football team, because we're not the beatles. if people know it, and it's going to be loud, we'll wind up singing it. we're not there to be cool, we're there to be loud. you'll never walk alone (the song) is the biggest piece of tosh you can hear, but when anfield belts it out as one, it's magic. find me a school carnival as loud as when we sing 'everyehere we go'. they'll hear us in gosford on sunday night.

Mariners fans in the stands is another clapping one that could be listed. Do we need to list such chants or just make a note to people to join in when they hear a clap song? We really need a big drum to get the rhythym through clearly.

So people completely disagree with the point of this thread or just didn't read it? Honest question. good thread. sort simple songs, don't worry about style, it's all about volume (that should have come from spinal tap or something - words to the effect of "it doesn't matter if you can only play three chords out of tune, play them LOUD!") and unity.

Remember, there's going to be more than 40,000 people in the ground. That's a lot of ambient noise. If we're going to be heard at all, we need all 5000 in the away end to be chanting as one.
Simple songs are the go. MARINERS clap clap clap might not be the most witty song, but its simple to learn and people will join in (can't quite imagine my mum and dad, who'll be at the game, joining in 'I wanna f*** Pierre's daughter').

Someone with access to marinators funds get a drum instead of just talking about it. You can't go wrong with a drum.

I actually don't think we need drums at SFS. Banging the back of the seats in front worked brilliantly last time.

A suggestion for a song action for good visual effect. If we're up 2-0 with ten minutes to go and we start singing "Goodbye Sydney, See You Next Year!" we should all wave in unison holding our hats, shirts, flags, whatever yellow we have.

Back on topic, hows this for Sunday night. Once we are up and have the title wrapped up we can pull out another Beatles Classic.
We don't care too much for money, Coz Money can't buy you wins, Can't Buy You wiiiiins, Everybody says its so, Cant buy you wiiiins, NO NO NO NO NO
On the topic of instruments and such I got a big bass drum and cowbell that I can bring.
(And once again is there anyone in section 3 or nearby that wants to swap tickets?)

I don't think it's too much of a stretch to get 500 singing mildly challenging songs like yellow football team and Central Coast go marching in. They are tunes all people know and if we repeat 8 times everyone will get into them. It's stuff like Eieieio which usually only runs once which will be lost to all but the closest to it's origin.
