Well I’m trying to think of words to describe it. Embarrassed, demented, foul mouthed, dumb, meatheads, pissed etc. I have followed the pies now for my entire 45 years and been to around 75% of all games in my life, Grand finals in 79,80,81 02,03,10,11 and seen many changes. On Saturday night I took my son who is 9 and showed him the difference sitting on one side of the ground and smack bang in the middle of the cheer squad. Now the cheer squad at the Grand finals, were, I must say, pretty good and a lot of fun. They handed out flags to the kids and behaved themselves pretty good.

Saturday was special. As the guy stood up at the front and yelled out that the GWS player’s girlfriend sucks like a whore I just thought, lovely, this is great. This is the idiot I see on TV all the time in the front row. So of course that’s when my son turns to me and asks, Dad, why did that man say his girlfriend smells like a horse. Perfect, I managed to get out of that one. Unfortunately we couldn’t get out of the way of the 2 glasses of beer that just happened to fall out of the sky when Swanny kicked a goal. Yes son, sometimes beer does fall out of the sky and onto our heads, but usually only in the Collingwood cheer squad. Everyone was dressed to the nines. Tracksuit pants, crappy old tops and a few with thongs. Dad I’m freezing my nuts off here so why are they wearing thongs my son asked? Well son, they are heading to Fiji or Bali for a holiday after the game so they are just prepared.

So f this and f that and suck this and suck that and of course you all smell like a horse and all in all I think we advertised the Collingwood football Club really well. What a pity Eddie and Garry can’t come along one day and sit with the Cheer squad. It needs a bloody good clean out. NO, shut down and all of them turf out. Why do you see cheer Squads all around the world that are so bloody fantastic and we have the best, biggest and richest club in AFL and a pissy little crappy mentality of a 2 year old cheer Squad making us look like losers in society.
 
Only Collingwood.
or Sydney! :rolleyes: If you've got nothing sensible to say it would probably make more sense to say nothing.

It's a sad indictment on the AFL these days that most clubs have cheer squads that are a bit like this. Surely it's time for either the AFL or the clubs to implement accreditation which can be lost when a member transgresses. I hate seeing it from our club and I hate seeing it from others.

What a load of crap. I'm sick of this stereotype. A Collingwood supporter acts up, therefore all Collingwood supporters are "scum". Any other team's supporters act up it's just a "few bad eggs".

Give me a break!:rolleyes:

Well put it this way DThomas, don’t get too stressed about it. We wouldn’t have the typical Stereotype situation if we simply got rid of the bloody garbage that stands behind the goals. And in saying that they probably aren’t all bad behind there but 95% are. I have sat with many great people over the years from the members and past players to guys and girls in the stands comeing back from the bar with a beer for me who i have never met before. Another thing I noticed were that only around 30 cheer Squad people were there so not many made the trip up. I’m not sure if it was only the ones that give us the bad name that made the trip up.

I must say I haven’t had much experience with other cheer Squads in the past but in saying that next game I go too I will sit with them and see what they are like. Will start with the Saints this week and let you know the result.

I just feel really bad and disappointed that all I want to do is get my 2 sons into loving the club and it doesn’t help when they meet people like that
 
When in Rome do as the Romans do, the average Sydney RL supporters makes the worst in our cheer squad look like the virgin Mary.

That's fair enough. You should be able to enjoy yourself without some morons ruining it for you. There's always a percentage of idiots at the footy, and sometimes you're near them and sometimes you're not.

I've never sat in the cheer squad, and probably never will, but I'd suggest not sitting with them, especially with little kids with you. I always sit on the top deck when I go to the footy. You get a nice view of the entire ground and not as many idiots. It's a much more pleasant experience.

That idiot that you were referring to that always pops up on TV, he gives me the shits too and I've never even sat near him! I've only seen him going mental at the umpires. You're allowed to get annoyed at an umpiring decision or whatever, but this guy goes completely overboard. It's embarrassing.:thumbsdown:
 
No offense to anybody, but our cheersquad is probably one of the worst, and the guys that stand behind them are so damn loud too.

Anyone with children or families should stay right away.
 
whats so bad about being too loud.
families with kids shuldnt go to the footy or just move away if someone is ''too loud''.
Atleast they support us and are passionate unlike other people that dont cheer or even clap for that matter.

The words they say are inappropriate for families.

It's not the volume that is the problem, it's the kind of stuff they are saying. Some people might not have a problem with swearing, but the fact is that many people do. People need to use a bit of common sense and not swear in front of kids. I'd hate for little kids to miss out on seeing their heroes because other people around them were too inconsiderate and ruined their experience. That's not fair at all.

Volume is a good thing when used in the right way, e.g. the Collingwood chant, cheering on the team etc, and I encourage that kind of stuff.
 
what words do you think are innapropriate, e.g, is the word crap bad, or shit?

****, whorebag, campaigner, rapist, ****, ****
Also calling your own team member any of those is inappropriate. Or just going off at them in general.

(Awww swear filter blocked out most of them but you get the point)
