WAR CRY

[eleypinkbit]

The guys in suits along with Westie did a great job of revving up the crowd one game last season. Maybe they could be our regular cheerleaders!

Were they Bankwest johnnies who couldn't get a gig in the Corporate Suite Eley?

We need someone to lead our cheers. Perhaps some cheer "leaders" or some such thing to help out...perhaps dressed up so as to make people notice them

Please post examples

Hopefully there won't be so many in suits next season though!!

Hertryk did Sharpie have any suggestions on a war cry?

No I asked him, and he said with the greatest fan base in the whole world...we will think of something..!!!!

We (the Fans !!) were mentioned many times in the speeches at the Awards night..!!!

I could lead from the bench during one game...!!! I won the 16th Player at Auction at the Awards nite..unfortunately just for one game !!!

I reckon Sharpie is right - some wit on here will come out with something which could be as unique to Perth as swing low is to England.

We make heaps of noise and have a ball at the games why not make that noise a chant or something. Someone will just come out with it and suddenly it will happen - lets face it rugbywa peps are on here as much as the trolls.

Western Western Western For..ce
Go the For..ce

JOC rocks
Sharpie Cuts
We're gonna total the boks
For..ce

or something completly different - next person to mention cheerleaders in this thread gets moderated..... or a chant/song that they can bop to in your imagination

There must be another negro spiritual that we can use as a Force chant!
The english managed to do it with Swing Low, though it has no relevance to the game, and no pommy I've asked has been able to explain how it became associated with England rugby!
How about "Oh happy day" or "glory glory hallelujah"

[Thequeerone]

Glory Glory might be more suited to the other tenants but if I were them I'd go for it

Sounds great to me...Best so far...

[MI5_Dog]

[jombi]

oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii just know that something good is gonna happen!

It'd be better than the Jurassic park music atleast.

That's an easy one to answer. Well it is for an old f@rt that played rugby in England back in the '70's. That was before it became a song to be sung at twickenham etc

Any post-match beer on a Saturday especially - but also mid-week on occasion - involved any number of 'games' and songs. Songs mostly with distorted lyrics that did not leave much to the imagination. In the case of the negro spiritual, it was accompaied by a rapid series of hand gestures to 'illustrate' every word (yes, every word).

So with apologies to those who know ........

Put your hands together and swing your arms from left to right = "swing"
Now lower your arms and swing = "low"
fingers to lips and kiss = "sweet"
imagine holding the reigns and geeing up the geegees = "chariot"
ahem "coming"
"forth" = fourth = four fingers
"to" = two = two fingers

You get the idea.

A very popular beer accompanying exercise that spread from club to club pretty rapidly and ended up being sung in the pubs around Twickenham and eventually at the rugby matches. Although England didn't play much rugby in the '70's and won even less

One thing the English could teach the Welsh was how to do more than just drink beer after match

a starter for ten ..........

Well they're West Australian heroes
All legends of their kind
Playing tough and like a cyclone
Leaving other teams behind
Not worried about tomorrow
They've got one thing on their mind
Super fifteen champions
One day soon they all will be
oh oh oh he's a Western Force man
oh oh oh he's a Western Force man
