clevo,
i did notice you guys this year and congratulate you guys on what your doing.
the arrangement with souths in regards to seating should help immensely as it did the chook pen who grew rapidly. though a problem with the army getting bigger is it becomes harder to sing hence many of the larger armies sticking to chants.
how do you guys go in regards to flags and banners?
you'll find these will often attract supporters as will calculator rolls, newspaper.... basically whatever can get peoples attention.
flares also work wonders though make sure they are done safely and they are well hidden to not be found by ground security on entry into the ground. if they are found you could well find yourself on the nrl black list.
a drum could also do wonders and have been allowed entry into aussie stadium this year. alternatively you could purchase a cow bell which whilst loud do not seem to be banned at most grounds. trumpets may also be a goer though the problem being is finding someone who can play one. if not cheap horns do a decent job. whistles are now a no go zone and seem to have been banned by the nrl.
i hope some of that helped you out and good luck to you and the Burrow in the coming year.
cheers

Thanks for all that. I don;t know what we will do with regards to the songs when we get bigger. The UK Football fans seem to do fine and I'll get a chance to find out how when I go there later this year.
We made a decision about no musical instruments though I have a perfectly usuable bass drum sitting in my shed.
We have heaps of giant flags but we need to expand our mid range ones and also organise kids to wave them about. Though as we get bigger and because we tend to stand at the back of Bay 38 waving giant flags, if our crowds grow, will probably be a problem.
Confetti ( chunks of newspaper) was something we did early last year but for some reason it waned ( like our team prospects I guess).
eeek! So much to do!
