Unless I've missed something, I'm surprised that more hasn't been made of this...
IMHO, the Block 4 mob have done Panthers fans proud in home games so far this season. Their new song (I can't remember the artist & title - you know, the "can't get enough" one) has really taken off and got a lot of the crowd involved, and the Panthers have paid attention and joined in - credit to them also (although I think they sometimes overdo it a little and drown the fans out).
Whilst the atmosphere may still not be anything like the old rink (and likely never will, nature of the beast) I think it has improved noticeably, and this is largely down to the efforts of the Block 4 mob.
Well done, guys! Please keep it up!
Now... can I make a request? Can you introduce 2 or 3 other new chants as well, in the hope that it might take up more of the DJ's attention and therefore reduce the number of times that bloody stupid "Gangam Style" tune gets played? Please? I'm begging you!! ;D

I've managed to sit amongst them when they were in block 13 and yeah you do have to give the lads a bit of credit, once upon a time the only noise in the arena usually came from the lot in block 11, so was good to see someone else doing something different, glad they have moved back to their beloved block 4, seem to be more noisier there.

Yes, they're great and have made a huge difference to the atmosphere in the building.

The best shout on Friday was when Olson took the puck drop with Stewart and from block 4 or 5 came.....
"OLSON thats the closest you will ever get to the NHL"

Thanks, guys. I'm an honorary 'boy' then LOL. I didn't think we had given up the 'I believe' one, we just didn't do it at the last game. 'Just can't get enough' gets adapted for Dan Green instead of 'Panthers' when he's on. I think we had chants for all the individual players at one point. The can can for Brandon Benedict is a favourite. The chant I can't stand is 'We won the league in '56 / 'We won the league in '56 / We won it three times in total' etc as I find it cringingly embarrassing to have to go back that far to sing about winning the league LOL. The '[netminder's name] sucks' chant which ends up in Gary Glitter's 'Come on, come on' etc is always good fun. Usually plenty of empty seats just down from us if anyone wants to join the noise :-)

Block 4 sounds great this season...unlike the corner of 11,12,13 which seems very quite since they relocated back lol

Try sitting in block 15, it's like a morgue most of the time!
There's 5 of us and a couple behind us that join in with chants and songs etc but most of them don't even stand up when we score/look happy/join in with Chelsea Dagger, anything in fact, they just sit there looking like someone put a banana in their mouth with the ends facing down!
I love my seat but some of them around me make me wonder why they're even there!
I tried to start a 'Lets go Panthers' chant last week and got greeted with near silence, Im not exactly a shrinking violet so it's not like people can't hear me!
For this reason I tend to listen out for what the blocks that have people who are actually alive in them are doing so I can join in and not feel like a leper for doing so!
Also, a quick point, I think the Panthers having an official twitter account has something to do with 'Just can't get enough' getting on the playlist and I agree with anyone who wants to boot off Gangnam Style, it's proper trash! Hit the twitter account until they stop! Please!!!
Bravo block 4, (and anyone else who makes noise) you keep singing, I'll keep joining in!

Gangnam was horrendous when they played it , give it up . Just because some teeny bopper thought they could dance to it doesn't mean it's a good hockey filler

Block 15 is a morgue. I used to sit in the 2nd row. Great view, but I was the only one who danced to Chelsea Dagger. I loosed off one of my long, drawn out C'mon Panthers screams and nearly killed the woman in front of me with a heart attack.

Trouble is, many people (myself included, I'll admit) are only comfortable making a lot of noise when surrounded by others going the same thing. And I like the view from my ST seat too much to switch to another block (plus I like a lot of the people around me). Oh well... |

I sit in block 13 and miss the chants from the boys who were a few rows behind us. Especially liked the Matt Myers song.

The Jeff Heerema chant to My Sharona was quality!
My mild annoyance comes from the guy on the mic 'make some noise for the GMB Nottingham Panthers!!'. I get that he's trying to get the crowd going which is great, but it gets yelled so loud that any noise that's made after seems quieter in comparison! Also the fact that it was said 6 times during the 1st period against Cov was a bit overkill!
