Cheer Squad

Saints premiers that is a wonderful idea however i know for a fact that alot of cheersquad members already attend victory games and it doesn't seem to help.

bloody differant sport Soccer fans have 90 mins or yawning to think up witty chants in Football by the time the chant is strated the next goal is scored !! im not a big fan of chants as 9/10 they are lame (exception being the haaaaaaaaaarveeeeeeeeeeey chant ) i would rather the entire saints following not just the cheer squad yelling and cheering as load as they can the roar of the crowd kicks any lame ass Soccer chant to hell

I will never go near the cheersquad again, I sat with them in the match vs Hawthorn also known as the worst game in the history of the AFL...
One of the cheersquad members asked my mate to leave because he was wearing a hawthorn scarf, we were in the very back row of the cheersquad reserved seating, we were a good 4-5 rows behind the majority of the cheersquad themselves, my mate is one of the quietest blokes you will ever see at the footy, wouldn't even clap for mark of the year...

IMO that isn't on, I am not for football segregation like there is in european soccer, that is one of the things I love most about the AFL, you can go and see a game with your mates even if they're supporting the other team, the winning supporters then hang shi*t on the losing supporters but it's all in good fun and there's nothing serious about it...

We didn't sit there because we wanted to join in with the lame 4 year olds' chants, we just wanted to sit there because they were pretty good seats, nowhere near enough people rocked up to fill out the reserved area however one member of the cheersquad felt it was her duty to make my Hawthorn supporting mate leave the cheersquad area, we eventually came to a compromise and he took his scarf off... At that moment in time I was embarassed to support the same team as that group of people...

That's a pretty piss poor effort from the cheer squad.

I reckon, like I can see where they're coming from, I mean it is the St.Kilda cheer squad, however if they can't even fill out the seats that they have reserved what harm would it be to have a near neutral Hawthorn supporter sitting a few rows back...

doesnt matter if we have all seats taken up, or just 3.
their ours, we pay for them each year, if you want to sit in them pay your $20 share. for interstate games thats different, because we obviously want as many saints fans as possible in the one bay!

exhibit a your honour

and people wonder why the CS gets bagged.

saintspremiers · Wed 19 Dec 2007 10:29am

I'm actually with you Dooley to some extent.....agree that opposition supporters showing their colors have no right to sit in OUR cheersquad, BUT if seats are empty, then by all means other Saints fans should fill the void (it looks really STUPID when the Cheersquad is only a quarter full Dooley.....you should take a look yourself from a higher vantage point - ie. Level 3 and you'll get my drift!).

Also - Hawks fans aren't stupid, they are prob (after Saints fans) the most respectable bunch!

HarveysDeciple · Wed 19 Dec 2007 10:32am

some saints fans that aren't members get asked to leave to....not so much a problem with oppo, but this other example is unacceptable.

Don't want bag you guys though, because you do a fantastic job.

Saints-06-Premiers · Wed 19 Dec 2007 10:34am

Well I know a certain person that sits in the cheer squad every week that is not a Saints fan. No one says anything, we make him sit there. We we play that team we don't sit there, and if we lose, he's not getting a lift home.

He was actually told off once, we were playing West coast I think and a score for another game came on and and he said 'Go Hawks' and the woman in front started yelling at him to get out of there. That's when my old man stepped in.

There's a few people in there that sit near me that I really want to shoot sometimes, the same guy that asks me if im a cheer squad member every f****** week, when ive been in that cheer squad for 10times longer than he has. That guys a banana (word edited by mod:-P)

Yes, at away games - you go and ask can we sit with you guys for the game and get told no. You scan around at the C.S through the game - and bingo. Empty seats. Fill em' with Sainters I say - if you have empty seats at a game give them away to saints fans.

Agreed

Sheesh..I would sincerely hope that NOBODY..AND I MEAN NOBODY wearing the colours of the team we are playing are allowed in our cheer squad..if we allowed that we'd be the laughing stock of the comp.

Sone clubs (in hawks I think) have fundraising fines in their CS's for NOT wearing the colours..let alone the oppositions LOL

Just a quick question, is there a rule about this?

Solar · Post: # 504035Post **Solar** » Wed 19 Dec 2007 12:50pm

the cheer squad really need to have an overhaul, get to the stage where they cannot keep up with demand. Like when the club pushes it's membership, the cheer squad need to sell themselves. If this means having a deep hard look at themselves then so be it.

There are many of us out there that would love to be involved but certain things stop us. I implore the cheer squard to investigate this and look at creating solutions to make it the best and loudest cheer squad in the league.

saintdooley · Wed 19 Dec 2007 12:53pm

nope.
but i wouldnt think the cheer squad has to make up rules saying no oppisition colours allowed in the cheer squad.

Darren · Post: # 504040Post **Darren** » Wed 19 Dec 2007 12:56pm

Fair enough

Armoooo · Post: # 504042Post **Armoooo** » Wed 19 Dec 2007 12:57pm

Is the cheer squad even worth it? because they are official they have to follow quite strict rules and screw that, sitting behind the goals on the bottom level is a crap place to sit anyway...

If the Moorabin Wing could find some voice and become the real cheer squad of St.Kilda it would be a lot better IMO...

I don't even think the players notice the cheer squad anyway, they definitely don't pay them any real attention...

And for people who say don't complain unless you plan to do better to hell with that, some stupid little chants aren't going to do anything, the players aren't going to take the time to try and make out what they're actually saying unless they're on the bench... all you have to do is cheer when we're doing something good and boo when the other team are, it's that simple...

I have never minded you at all, but with that comment I have lost all respect for you, that is a pathetic attitude to have, fair enough if you don't want him there but to go the stage of violence for supporting another team that is just embarrassing....

thank you Solar
this is one of the only posts i bother reading, because you are giving us a bit of crap and telling us what to do to fix the problems, not just giving us crap and more crap like some others.

BAM! (shhhh) wrote: (my favorite being "Stephen Milne walks on water", because it doesn't even rhyme, they obviously just like the chant from it's previous incarnations)

That chant dosen't HAVE to rhyme, its set to the tune of "Deck The Halls" (hence the la la la la la la la part) but it has been used before Milney, I know that much.

That's a bit harsh, the Cheer Squad have a role and FWIW they do a good job. The amount they spend each and every week during the footy season on the run throughs, just for starters....

Yep I hate sitting behind the goals but that is where all cheer squads sit.

Just my opinion, but leave them alone

Some of us don't give you solutions because we believe the cheer squad to be pretty pointless...
