There's no doubt that being away from home makes the supporters more united and passionate.
Home crowds are notoriously smug and lethargic. And it seems that the bigger the home team's supporter base, the more smug and lethargic it makes them.
At Collingwood games, it's only ever a small dedicated hard core that make the noise. The rest of our supporters just sit there like a stale bottle of piss, waiting for 1990 to come back. |

Spot on. At the Weagles game, a fellow Collingwood supporter told my brother's mate to shut up because he was barracking too loud. Bloody fairy.
Mind you, he didn't tell me to shut up and I was twice as loud as my bro's mate. |

The collingwood cheer squad sounded it's best when interstate eg port last year and adelaide this year. WTF!?
One thing i forgot to mention, the circle is easily the highlight for me, the sound and noise generated recently at the g was amazing.
So perhaps I was a little pessamistic in my previous comment.
But we have to harness that circle energy for our players during the game, so they get that intense support they need and deserve. |
Sadly its been quite some time since the last winners circle in melb..we will make up for it come this saturday night at the telstra dome against the same old's.

| rome wasnt built in a day maybe could be said about the chants.Maybe people are scared to make the first move to sing it of fear of looking like an idiot,everyone was involved in the collingwood clap,clap,clap against brisbane at telstra dome last year so the passion is there.Please dont turn into crow supporters and sit there waiting for the team to get a run on and then start cheering.Keep persisting |

Well as if on que about 20 min mark last quarter in level 3 aisle 3 i quietly got up and let fly with the loudest Cooooll---ing--wood! (Liverpool version) the saints supporters right behind me enjoyed and had a chuckle, frighten the living shit out of a couple of younger maggie fans a little higher up. (Apologies to their parents)
I reckon about a dozen good collingwood folk responded (even if a little luke warm) but good on 'em for giving it a go.
Totally with the response I bellowed OKAY EVER ****ING BODY COOOll--ing--woood! LOOOOOUDER.
If more join in next time. they need to stand up and really sing LOUD, scream it if you can! then those who choose to remain seated and not sing will be the odd one out. Level 3 is ideal because acoustically the sounded bouces and is amplified by the roof!
About 300ml of Vodak did help!
Yes I admit I was a drunken loud sing piefan, but it's all innocent i didn't anyone!
Well done to the cheer squad, keep those chants going!
Floreat PICA!
I guess all my years of singing tenor in a renaissance choir helps.
