Mate have you ever been to a Mute,deaf n dumb birthday party?????????B_Tiger said:I don't think a crowd has to be vocal for there to be an atmosphere. 18k at a match at leichhardt definately lifted the players with or without cheering. Running out on to leichhardt with that sort of support played a major factor in why we were so dominant.
The ground announcer is to corny, he should of been punted with Owen Craigie and Hoppa!tracietiga said:It was awesome , and i agree with Simon .
diehards dont yell tigers ,tigers when they are told to by the ground announcer .
Also add to it that 8000 of the crowd were supporters who havent seen our side play in years .
I thought the place was buzzing . and when they played eye of the tiger the goosepimples arrived .

I know the TIGERSSSSSSS chant was a fizzer at times,but the heckling and booing were first rate.The noise was constant,and every little mistake that was made was noticed by about 19 thousand people.We got plenty of penalties for inside the ten,and I reckon the crowd got us quite a few of them.
Ive been going to Leichhardt for an age,and even in our heyday the fans never constantly chanted TIGERS.I guess we are a litle fickle in that way,but I guarantee you I dont feel like chanting when Im told by a bloody ground announcer.....I just cant do it,like being force fed,and I guess I jack up and dont do it.....
The chants werent big,but the place was buzzing IMHO.
Cheers.
And WHAT ABOUT ME!!! I was minding my own businness urinating from the 2nd tier of the Latchem Robinson stand.Snide the Tiger said:Mate - I screamed like a raving lunatic at appropriate moments - both encouragement - criticism and the routine abuse of the ref (although I kept my expletives limited due to the presence of children)!!
But just for yelling TIGERS at the top of your lungs while hoisting two cans of beer skywards after a try gets you weird and disapproving looks from these family groups who apparently come to the footy for a quiet afternoon!
It doesn't stop me though....
