Attention Cheer Squads

[Smeagle]

Just need to know which manufacturer the cheersquads get there "floggers" and "paddies" from.

I am creating a cheersquad for my WAFL team, and I want to know where I can get some paraphernalia.

SERIOUS THREAD PLEASE

That's a good question *goes and finds out from somebody*

 

[Smeagle]

So no one here is from a cheer squad?

Maybe they're too embarrassed to admit it

I am. I just wouldn't have any idea where they get all the floggers and flags etc. from.

I have a friend in the Roos cheersquad, who has purchased a Roo "flogger." I'll try get the number of him, and post it.

 

[Smeagle]

Thanks AGC, finally some positive input to this thread

They're quite expensive I believe. I overheard a Sturt cheersquad member from the SANFL speaking about their floggers today, he reckons they cost about $300 each!

 

[Smeagle]

I just want to know who can supply them. Someone like www.cheersaustralia.com.au/spectator.html - but they don't supply the colour I want.

And by the way, if you didn't know crepe paper runs in the wet

You keep asking this question on various forums and you've ignored offers of assistance.

The floggers are made by the members themselves. There's no "manufacturer".

Edit: OK, now there seems to be commercially made ones but nothing compares to the real deal.

Docker Brat,
Yes I have been onto a few forums, asking for some sort of assistance. But it is ridiculous to assume I have ignored offers of assistance - the amount of people I have private messaged and followed up on is countless (much to no avail).

I have emailed most cheersquads, contacted various cheerleading suppliers (dont laugh ) - you would be surprised as to how many people DON't check their emails - and have joined forums, just to find an answer to my query. I figured Bigfooty would be a good source as I thought there would be some people passionate enough on here to be members of cheersquads.

I know for a fact - from my deep research - that the floggers ARE supplied by a manufacturers. Since no one in my area supplies maroon and gold coloured PLASTIC, I have not been able to make them myself. I do have a creative and resourceful side, so I wouldn't mind making them. It's just that I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE AFL CHEERSQUADS GET THIER FLOGGERS AND PADDIES FROM.

Any assitance here would be greatly appreciated

Cheer squads are passe and should be banned.

I think it's more some of the people that are in them that ruin it for everyone else when they act like tools.

In the WAFL, a cheersquad would definatley benifit: the team, the crowds and the kids at the footy. It won't be an adult type of thing - more teenager/kiddy oriented. This way it won't be like AFL cheersquads- "passe"

 

[peternorth]

hahahaha mark fine on SEN's teeing off on the saints cheer squad for chanting "lets go sainters lets go *clap clap*".

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Do cheer squads even work in making non-squad fans cheer?

Sometimes with that dodgy ch.7 mike that sounds like there is no one at the footy, it sounds like the chant is "give us another one just like the other one ... wooooooooo"

Either way I hate it and it sounds terrible.

Please don't start a Subiaco cheer squad.

Subiaco is my favourite team and I don't want them associated with those gheys and fatties who frequent cheer squads.

Son of Reep,
you and I would agree that we rwally need some sort of a boost in crowd/atmosphere/both. I'm sick of East Perth and West Perth and even Swan Disticrt out-chanting us with there "swans forever (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)... WOOOH!"

There is a store in Melbourne called Xmas Mill - they supply alot of the stuff for the cheersquads. To purchase a 'flogger' as the large behind-the-goal type oversized pom-pom on a stick is called can be quite expensive. Going back to 2003, the cost of 6 of them (2 each of single coloured floggers - 2 x marron, 2 x gold, 2x blue) was over $1200. To have multi coloured in blocks of colour of 'salt n peppered' colours is even more. However in that case the maroon colour was not currently avaliable and had to be manufactuared - only a couple of rolls of it but that was minimum order and we were left with plenty of the plastic to use elsewhere during the season - like table coverings etc at functions.

Cheers Australia that you have previously mentioned are very good and their prices more than reasonable. We used them over local firms to purchase a number of items in that same year (hand held pom poms, cheer stick pom poms and promotional items). On their website the exact colour/colour combinations we required were not shown, however a simple phone call revealed they could supply what we needed in a very timely fashion at no extra cost.

Hope that helps.
