THAT Roar!!!

[Bay Pie]

You guys that go to the games are fantastic. Living in QLD I get to very few games, so when we are not on Free to Air TV, I listen to 3AW via the net.

As most of you would know, when we are kicking for a goal and it's going through the big sticks, Rex doesn't say anything and once it goes through he says "and listen to the fans".

When we have a shot for goal I just listen for THAT Roar! without really paying attention to the commentators.

Pure Gold.

No other teams supporters can match that.

I'm lucky enough to attend all games Home & Away.......but your not the first person who has told me about the roar on the radio after a Pies goal in a close game.......I get goose bumps thinking about it

Last quarter was electric. Chants going every couple of minutes, your right, few can match it and the radio doesn't do it justice.

Anyone else catch that Bronx cheer after the pies hanballed about twenty times, then one player finally kicked it (cant remember who, may have been Swan)

I think it was Swan, and he only just got it away. They did that a fair bit, but I suppose it is working as the ball is going forward, eventually.

Funniest crowd response of the day had to be when Cloke kicked his first goal of the match. It was kind of half a celebration for the goal and half for the unexpected fact that Cloke actually kicked straight.

I get to go to all games as well. Nothing compares to the atmosphere behind the city side goals where all the members sit.

I went to the Collingwood/Carlton game saturday it was only my 2nd ever game and the roar was unbelievable after sitting at the top tier of the 1st half me and my mate then spotted empty seats near the Carlton cheersquad and moved there when we were kicking there in the last quarter each goal we kicked I could not help but scream in delight everytime we kicked a goal.

As the MCG is so much bigger than Vic Park I think we need "cheer squads" dotted around the two wings to enhance the chants and really bring that feeling of being surrounded by pies fans again like the old days.

I'm sure the Club could get two blocks of seats if it had the will to do so, if and I mean if this is an idea with any merit.

yeah cant wait for the pies vs lions game up here....went to the crows 1 last sat and enjoyed giving it to the brisbane supporters but it does not compare to being with collingwood supporters.....cant wait for that! but looking forward even more towards going to melbourne in july to the G to see collingwood play there .......havent been for a long long time

How good was the roar in the third quarter when the ball was kicked to Didak by himself the faithful went up before he marked it , spine tingling shit when we get on a roll

 

[Sloth]

How good was Wakelin's goal? The crowd enjoyed that as well.

It was a classic atmosphere on Saturday.

Being hungover I half forgot who we were playing, but was soon reminded once I could barely find a decent place to stand, and noticed the banter being far more agressive than usual.

When they were almost five goals up, some Filth supporters were dancing around like arrogant idiots. I'm sure everyone had a filthy idiot somewhere in their midst.

So when we came back to eventually throttle them, which I suspected we would, we made every positive play as loud as possibe, to rub it in. Goals were an incredible roar in perfect unison and towards the end, hi-fives were being circulated amongst perfect strangers (but Collingwood brothers) in standing room.

Best atmosphere at a game I attended since the Port prelim win.
