Is it time for the Hurricanes fans to get more vocal?
Recently, Hurricanes players Jason Eaton and Corey Jane appealed to rugby fans to get more vocal to match the passion of the Phoenix A-League soccer fans. They were both in the crowd to cheer on the Phoenix against The Perth Glory. I’m not going to get into a soccer versus rugby shootout but I agree with Corey & Jason, the crowd participation at the rugby is hopeless. Here’s my 3 point solution;
We the fans need to get more organised.A bit of forward planning would help. Preparation & practice is the key. First we need to have our chants sorted for when we score etc etc. I’ve never been a fan of “the ref is a w..nker”, that’s too easy. Next team up is the Lions, surely we must be able to come up with something for “King Carlos???”
Captain Hurricane? What A sorry, flea bitten excuse for a mascot. All he did on Saturday was walk around the field and when I say walk, my 85 year old dad could have walked faster and had more energy! How about a cartwheel captain H? How about a forward roll? Maybe you could jump in with the cheerleaders every now and then? DO SOMETHING!!!!
The CityFitness Cheerleaders. Ladies, your job is to get the crowd going. When we score a try, how about some high leg kicks? When we are on defence how about getting the crowd going with a “gimmee a D, gimmee a E …” I think you get the idea. And stop throwing those give aways into the front row!!! How about us guys half way up the stands? Get a compressed air cannon!
