Full credit to Dennis for trying to improve the atmosphere with his Xylophone last night - pity the "security" stopped him, but did nothing about the noise from Lightning fans, if that was not drums then we have the answer in the future (plastic bottles and a stick). Think we should all take in kid's xylophones on Saturday to show support to Dennis - they cannot throw us all out - CAN THEY?  |

In terms of musical ability, was he more Evelyn Glennie, or that fella who used to sit outside the Broadmarsh?

It’s pathetic that no instruments are allowed into the arena.
Who is it harming? All fans want to do is improve the atmosphere!

The many times it's been discussed. 1. We want drums to help create an atmosphere. 2. I would like an atmosphere but if anyone plays a drum near me i'll shove it where the sun doesn't shine. |

I agree with you.
But Moran will just trot out that “we tried it once” and about five people turned up thing.
What gets me is that the arena seems to use one set of rules for Panthers fans and another for other events.
Ever been to a concert and had to practice a fire drill ?
Mmmm thought not ! 🙄

There’s always the stage for drums etc. Not much different to Belfast’s “bridge” is it ! |

I can understand your point, if it was the same as Coventry or MK then that would be very annoying but if we didn’t go over the top with them then surely they would help. Nobody can deny that the atmosphere in our arena is embarrassing so something needs adding or doing. As has been said already though there’s no point even discussing it as the club won’t listen and don’t want to make the arena very hostile or loud. They obviously prefer it to be more family/child friendly, as shown by the addition of blow up paws and the revamped paws who most people seem to make noise for over the hockey being played. It’s comfortable coming to the NIC. |

MK fans were banging the underside of the seats....it can be very loud and the stewards cannot ban the seats....although they'd probably try!
Many moons ago I used to bring a blow horn and bang the underside of the seat with it..I wasn't very popular

Some new chants wouldn't go a miss.
Dunno what anybody else thinks,but "let's go Panthers" is getting very cringeworthy these days.

New chants won't catch on. Hardly anyone knows the words to the Just Can't Get Enough song, or at least they don't sing them if they do.
Would work if we had a section for big gobs, but we don't, and we know why.

Would work if we had a section for big gobs, but we don't, and we know why. We already have a section for big gobs. It's called Moran's Office. I agree 100% that the atmosphere at games is extremely embarrassing. As for Yotes first sentence, I don't think anyone else actually knows the words to Just Can't Get Enough - there's nowhere to publish them. Perhaps new songs, chants etc. could have a dedicated thread on here. As for musical instruments. Why can't the club allow them into a particular block? People could then have the option of joining the "ultras" or sitting elsewhere. It's hardly going to intimidate the ENTIRE arena, is it. Something certainly needs doing. Best fans in the Elite League? Don't make me laugh! You've only got to listen to other coaches like Kelman, to hear what they think of the atmosphere at the arena. This is actually an area where fans and management could work together to provide a better match night experience, perhaps via the intermediary of a supporters trust. Oh! We've done that, haven't we! |

Sorry, I'm on a roll!
Who thinks that the DJ sometimes drowns out opportunities for chanting? Couldn't he play something during face-offs to encourage the fans rather than just "filling in". Sometimes he plays Just Can't Get Enough, and the ref drops the puck before he gets anywhere near "Let's Go Panthers". Perhaps Gary could have a word with the lino's and refs to hang on a bit.
We need personal chants too. We had an ideal opportunity with Shalla, but, like him, it didn't catch on much.
Come on you poets and lyricists, start a new thread with your ideas!

Can remember a couple of seasons back when they had an area in block 18 for anyone who wanted to sing and chant, but that died the death as did the "Horseman" and "Moose-Tree" chants - think we have an answer though - bang on the seats, if we do not improve next season there will be a lot of empty ones available - can we still bring the "blow horns" or are they banned as well? |

The problem is, there’s only about 500 fans scattered around the arena, the rest are kids, freebies and Saturday night fans who don’t even know the rules, let alone the chants.

We already have a section for big gobs. It's called Moran's Office. Zing  I don't think anyone else actually knows the words to Just Can't Get Enough - there's nowhere to publish them. Perhaps new songs, chants etc. could have a dedicated thread on here. Done that plenty of times before, normally pre-POFW we end up with one. I admit by that point in the season the chants aren't always complimentary. I know the words for the JCGE chant have been posted on here a few times. You need a few hundred people, who'll all sing it, so the rest of the arena will hear it, and then it may catch on, which was the idea of... Can remember a couple of seasons back when they had an area in block 18 for anyone who wanted to sing and chant, but that died the death Yeah, Moran put the price up. Job done. Our crowd will basically clap along to stuff and not much else. We're rubbish (include myself in that). I mean, we've had players like Lacho, Farmer and Lee for years now, and we've not really got anything for any of them. |

I honestly think the atmosphere would be better if there was a feeling that we were all in it together. Boring I know, I'm even starting to bore myself now.
Yotes could you ban me or something please?

I think JCGE is too long. Nobody's gonna be bothered to learn it. Can't remember seeing the words publicised anywhere. Were they in their own thread?
Oh poo, we're all negative, negative, negative aren't we? Nobody can be bothered to do owt!Can we at least TRY summat?
Do you know - I lay myself open to appearing an old fudge, but I WISH I could go back to the old rink. The struggle for tickets, the stink of the bogs and hockey gloves being dried outside the changing rooms,Ralph's burgers, George's sweetie shop,the PASSION!!
We weren't a greatly skilled team, but we fought every game - and we sang! Usually "We're poop and we know we are" and "We don't care we're Panthers fans".
I must have these rose-tinted lenses changed for ordinary ones!

"We're poop and we know we are".
Now there's one that could take off. Might be worth a try

It was ages and ages ago, we've been singing that (or not) since Hull were in business If you want to start a thread for new chants, knock yourself out, if I can think of any I'll happily add to it. But sadly the fact will remain that you need groups willing to start them, maintain them and repeat them, and for those groups to be big enough for others to twig to them. When a group actively tried this, despite an initial appearance of helping, the club's next act was to increase the price. It is something the ST could/could've helped with actually, but you know they're not to be trusted. Fudge!!!! The swear word filter doing its best for you, although I note you've defeated it. |

...and about five people turned up thing... It was actually just the four of us that turned up with 'instruments'. Me, with my trumpet, a selection of appropriate music and dead keen to give it a go. A bloke with a bugle, who didn't know how to play it A lady with a set of maracas. A bloke with a biscuit tin, which he bashed a few times. After months (possibly years?) of various Panthers fans whinging about it the fanbase showed what they're good at, moaning but doing naff all. |
