As seen in this thread and this one.
I am a Supporter of the Western Force, I paid my “out of towners” membership, I have a Home, and an Away Jersey. 3 T-shirts and a Hat.
I live in Sydney.
I have a favor to ask all of the Perth based members of TheWholeForce.com.
Make up your own version of the “I have faith” sign.
Tell your friends to do the same.
Lets show our team how much they mean to us.
Lets show them that we are with them during the lean times as well as the good times
Lets show the world via Foxtel that we aren’t on some Bandwagon looking to jump off very soon.
This is our last home game of the year – lets show Our Team what it means to be a Western Australian based team.
Say it loud, Say it proud.
I am a Supporter of the Western Force.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Has the originator come forward yet? They're practically famous.
I love the idea of several "I have faith" signs, personally mine would say "I have faith too".
Maybe if there was a group of you one could have a few different ones, from "I have faith", to "I have faith too", all the way to, "I'm not really the religious type, I mean I go to church on easter and christmas but that's pretty much it... but GO FORCE!"
But I'm drunk, so don't listen to me. I just think it would be comical and almost asured of getting on the telly.
Good idea Exile. I can see it a now, a sea of signs "I have Faith", "I have Faith Too", "She Has Faith --> ", "My Mum Has Faith"
I'm game ....
Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
and ill record it for ya
GET BUSY PEOPLE!
hey coach....maybe a word in some media ears?
is there any rules about hanging signs off the edge of the thing??? lol Im right up the front on the sencond level and I could hang a sign up thereif I make one ... hmmm lol!
get too it and make one Lonzy........we'll sort them out if they try to take it away
(long as you dont put it over an existing sponsors signage you should be right)
woooo! so if any of yas see a struggle on the 2nd stand please come to my aid! lol! muhaha
Great ideas crew, let's really get behind the concept and use this last chance for the season to really show our boys how much they mean to us and to let the rest of the rugby world know loud and clear that Western Australian supporters stick through thick and thin.
I also favour the variations however, unless you can't find the materials, try and stick with the original look and print to make the theme obvious to all.
Perhaps you fellas up in the Three Tier Stand can get together to make a really big version from several cards or the like?
With regard to the originator, perhaps they may want to stay anonomous, but otherwise surely they can be tracked down to an area of the stands by the camera angle on the replay and from TWF Members who may have been sitting nearby?

gees burgs we're not CIA agents lol.
lol I havnt even started! I thought I had suitable materials at home ... but alas I did notso hopefully i will find what I need tonight
if not I will just have to get a little bit of a sore throat from yelling my support! tehehehehe ... so if you hear a faint I have faith too chant then its possible me! lol! omg that person who started this whole 'I have faith' thing has alot to answer for!!! lol

Can't wait to see the signage guys. Great idea- builds team and crowd spirit, and identity.
Here's a related song lyric from Star Trek:Enterprise - which most of the trekkers could belt out the tune, even if they weren't sure of the words fully as yet. Just the first four lines of the chorus would do , and even just the first line , as a prompt eg for a push over scrum try or line out win.
Faith of The Heart
written by Diane Warren and sung by Russell Watson
verse
It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I will see my dream come alive at last,
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna change my mind
chorus
(CAUSE) I GOT FAITH OF THE HEART
IM GOING WHERE MY HEART WILL TAKE ME
I GOT FAITH , TO BELIEVE
I CAN DO ANYTHING
I GOT STRENGTH , OF THE SOUL
AND NO ONES GONNA BEND OR BREAK ME
I CAN REACH , ANY STAR
I GOT FAITH,
FAITH OF THE HEART
Very approriate indeed. But probably not well known, I'm afraid. Pity. 25,000 Force faithful belting that one out would rival the Arms Park mobOriginally Posted by MysticBalls

Thanks Shas, but as another song said "from little things, big things grow". Maybe can work on this in the offseason and build it into collective memory. An audio download on TWF would help tremendously ( Help Coach ). Also have to get clearance with music company involved - but they love to have have their material as anthems for teams - good press !
Those last two lines look the best but are actually harder to sing. For starters, I'd recommend sticking with the opening four lines and the first especially, because they can be BELTED OUT !
Also they ascend , which is easier for an anthem/crowd to sing.
C'mon all you Trekkers in cyberspace, get on board with this, get the message around ! I know the Star Wars/"Force be with you" theme has been downplayed somewhat ( not Coach's avatar OB1 Kenobe) , but a blend of Star Trek/Star Wars effect has got to be "a success of the human spirit".
