Dragons Counter to Vikings Clap

The Nrl should run with this idea and make a competition out of this.

A good way to bring more people through the gates and create atmosphere at games.

Meh. The Raiders stole a viking thing. On the surface yeah it's ok, but Canberra is as vanilla and soulless a place as you'll ever visit.
Not exactly intimidating seeing 10 thousand pasty dweebs in the crowd.

The Viking clap at Canberra is good. Oh when the Saints Go Marching In as sung by the Southampton FC crowd is awesome. It's the song I've always really associated with the Dragons.

It would be awesome at a GF (even better if were playing there LOL) especially if filled with Dragons supporters playing a non Sydney club.

So Dragons behind the goal posts at each end - right back near the fence spitting fire - and the score board with 'Oh when the Saints go marching in' would be a fantastic way to celebrate all the tries we score. Put these two elements together and throw in a brass band and it would produce a great atmosphere.

Agree possm, what an atmosphere it would create.

We need to replace that St George Dragon soft toy muppet thing running around and have a fire breathing dragon.
The song over the pa, with the words up on the screen, the crowd would do the rest.

Before kick off, during half time and after a game. There's your entertainment right there and gets the crowd involved and to the games.

Imagine the boys hearing that before they run out at kick off and half time. It would let them know the crowds behind them and would let the opposition know they're in Dragons territory.

Why aren't our marketing people doing this?

I don't know why. There ae so many things that can be done which would increase attendance and membership numbers. The Dragons Fire thing is great. Next tailored promotions to the ever increasing Chinese community in the St George district.

Righto, this idea has been sent to the Dragons. They replied and said the'yd forward it to their game day/marketing team for consideration.
It really is a no brainer, and have look at what the crowd engagement has done to the Raiders and their fans.

You cant beat the pommie crowds! Fanatical. Aussie's just don't have it. Like when Liverpool played at the MCG and the crowd sang you'll never walk alone, it was spine tingling but if that was 90k of pommies singing they would have heard it back in London.

Let's hope the Dragons can start something going here.
If the Raiders can do it so can the Dragons.

You could waggle your dicks at the opposition. Go the full brave heart.

Unless that move is already taken by Parramatta.

Nice one Hawkins. Got to admit I love what the Raiders are doing with the Clap.

Mate trouble is, we wouldn't bother waggling our dicks after seeing what your guy does to that tiny little horn, he couldn't handle Dragon dick !!!!! :)

Great idea, I have always why the games lacked atmosphere. This could be the game changer.

The Nrl are crazy if they don't ask all clubs to reply to the Viking Clap.
