is there nothing we can do to change this??????? Who do we bombard - politely of course - to have this changed.Here's my heart and you can break it

I think Cathy has politely raised the issue with Tom Packer of the SCG Trust. He said no, because it would open the door for other groups to want to do the same. (If you read between the lines the SCG Trust terminology is that drums are" implements for the potential irritation of fellow patrons in their enjoyment of the match.")Originally posted by BAM_BAM

We can try, but Cathy has to walk a diplomatic tightrope in dealing with them. We are getting on really well with the Trust and after years of being hassled by the Nazis in yellow are actually developing a rapport with both the regular security and customer service personnel.
I think the Trust are frightened that it might fire the crowd up too much, as I know that they are happier when the crowds are more docile.
Again, I think it is a case of showing them that having a drum inside the ground will NOT endanger anyone else's security, nor with incite the SCG faithful into riotous behaviour.
Leave things with me for next year. You've given me something to think about for the off-season, that's for sure!

PS:- By the way, can anyone give me more info on getting the thing tuned properly? What do I need to do? Do I need to take it to a drum technician or somebody?
When you dong it it sounds as if it is underwater. Should it have a skin at the top and bottom, or just as the top?"Never ever ever state that Sydney is gone.They are like cockroaches in the aftermath of a nuclear war"

Crowd note - 8000 less than the aggregate for the 7 NRL games played over the weekend. Significantly greater than any English Premier League game. Newcastle and Man U had the biggest crowd, approx 52,000.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Reading all of the posts about some of the people that go to Sydney matches, I am highly suprised. In Melbourne you never hear of any of these people. You go to a match to cheer your team on. You're loud, you wear the colours of your team, you wave flags and you jump up and down all the time. The only game that I've been to in Sydney is against St. Kilda this year and I must admit there were a fair few "theatre - goers" sitting around me. My aunty summed up the view of the Sydney people perfectly: Most Sydney people would rather go to the beach than the footy if it was a sunny day". Of course this is not everybody. There are some fantastic people (for example, Julian) that are some of the biggest Swans supporters that I've seen.Sydney Swans Premiers 2005 - The Mighty BloodsComment

You are quite within your rights to jump around and act like a gorilla when pissed. Oh. and at the footy tooOriginally posted by Bart
I'm interested in others opinions, should I be seated throughout the game if others behind me ask (abuse) me to ?
Cheering after goals and stuff I'd expect it. Standing up and shouting during play probably not to be done regularly. Should only be done at times of unsportsmanlike behaviour eg Holland v Willo incident (speaking of which isn't Brodie Holland the guy that got caught *ahem* out front of a primary school in his car? Or is that just an urban legend?)Only 9 notes? How easy can it be!Comment

People should get over trying to tell other people how to barrack, whether that be "not loud enough" or "too loud".
You pay your money, as long as you can see the game, you can do what you want.
Whats the desire to do as they do in Melbourne anyway. Sydney is unique in the AFL landscape, and the crowd behavour reflects that. Move on.Comment

Whats all this talk about Sydney fans being quite? I could hardly speak on sunday and monday after singing my voice away.
About 5 of us were roaming around singing many a quality footy tune, such as:
SYDNEY,
SYDNEY,
Sydney are the team for me,
With a nick-nack-paddy-wack, give the dog a bone,
Why don't Collingwood **** off home!
and
If I had the wings of a Sparrow
And the arse of a dirty old Crow
I'd fly over Collingwood tomorrow
And **** on those bastards below
**** on, **** on,
I'd **** on those bastards below, below
**** on, **** on
I'd **** on those bastards below.
and many moreGo the BLOODS!Comment
