BONGOS TO GO!!!!!

Does anyone else think the bongos get a tad annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really its bad !!!!
Almost as bad as the cowbell down at the Storm, though I think he may have some rhythm and also gives it a break every so often.

  • I think you are a bit harsh Stan.

    The Swarm is simply attempting to get a bit of atmosphere happening on the North Hill - and trying to have a little fun along the way. :-)

    Cut them a little slack!!
  • I'm all for creating atmosphere and i know their intentions are good but seriously lose the drums or get some lessons!!!!!!

    They cant even drum in time when the PARRA chant comes over the PA!!!!.hA HA

    I was sitting a couple of bays down from the swarm and everyone around us ( PARRA AND ROOSTER SUPPORTERS) were laughing at how annoying it is.

    To tell you the truth its quite embarrassing!!!
  • Just a bit of constructive criticism mate............like on the night of the Storm game i told you one of the chants wasn't working!! I think you had the same come back that night too. "Well if you can do better why dont you ........!!!

    Thanks for linking my comment..... The bongos did my head in at the Storm game.
    I thought you were just doing it that night because it was the Storm and it was your little thing around the GF last year to annoy them, which was funny, but now you're just annoying every poor bugger that ends up sitting near you. Its relentless and horrendous!!!

    Maybe record yourselfs and have a bit of a listen back!!!!!!
  • Supporters come in all different packages, Stan. Some like to yell, some like to scream, some like to sit there silently and others like to bang bongos and chant songs.Why must every supporter be the same and fit into the mould that you have defined as acceptable?

    If you don't like to listen to the bongo playing sit elsewhere or you can guarantee that no overzealous fans disturb your peace and serenity by watching the game at home on the box. You can even ensure that no atmosphere penetrates your existence by pressing the mute button.
    • I love the mute button when Goose climbs out of his tree.
      Improves the game no end.
  • Man you sound like a Gen Y ..... Cant be told anything!!!!

    I had no choice of where i sat last night......Was on a bucks party that started at the game and the tickets were bought for me.

    All i can say is thank God your are not in control of the PA. You'd have the PARRA CHANT on throughout the whole game!!!! Notice how that stops and starts at various times throughout the game

    Try this:

    Count:
    1 e and a 2 e and a 3 e and a 4 e and a
    Play :
    RLRR LRLL maybe for about a minute than give it a rest for a while.
  • Here we go, Stan the man what is your problem?

    Tony Bongo is a bloke is out there doing his bit for the team and you blowfly in and bag him, nice one mate! you sound like some one that would take the dummy out of a babies mouth then carry on like a pork-chop when it starts to cry!

    Another Bandwagoner that cant be satisfied, we lose you whinge, we win you whinge, we have a bye you whinge! are you sure your not EMO?

    Keep up the good work Tony , the Blowflies will piss off in good time!
    • Bandwagoner ...... yeah maybe to posting blogs but not as an eels supporter mate!
  • Please ......Ahh its got nothing to do with losing.... i would have posted this either way!!!

    Who said i expect every supporter to fit into a certain mould!!!!!!

    All I'm trying to say is it gets a tad annoying when its non stop, the bongos that is.
    I'm all for the chants and trying to build a good supporter base...but when other fans say to me "lets not sit down here again those drums are doing my head in" Thats usually an indication to try something different.
  • I'd like to see us not just ignore this kind of feedback. The drums are loud and they do impact the people sitting around us. Especially when the Stadium is full, people can't just sit elsewhere. Until the club gives us an area we can call our own, we need to be aware of these kinds of feelings because we want to enhance the atmosphere not take away from it.

    What we really want is more people sitting with us to get involved with the chants. The Roosters chook pen was absolutely awesome on the weekend and that's where we want to get to. If we need to go a little lighter on the drumming to encourage people to come sit with the Swarm, then that should be taken into consideration.
