How about forgetting about all the other problems for a while. Lets not forget that we are just a few days away from a huge day in the clubs history. Firstly please 'lets pray' that the rain STOPS.

 

On a slightly more and then far less serious note...who's got any ideas of how the day can be influenced by 'The Fleet' and us 'Fans'

Have the club got anything in mind?. Will our Pirate, or Lobster, or Shrimp or whatever make an appearance.

 

Any Ideas

 

 

How about a Mexican Wave.....

or some new songs for the Muppets (Come on You Reds..is it lively enough) from the Half Way Liners.

 

'We hate Redbridge Forest ..

We hate Dagenham Too (AND Canvey !!)

We hate Telford United but Gravesend we LoVE you..

 

Just a silly idea I know...are there any more out there

Perhaps somebody would like to shout Give us a G (All 3 words will take 3 minutes). Chance for the drummer to help too

 

Forget our current form ...Funny things happen in the cup. Lets make this a day to remember

 

Is somebody taking care of the ballons ?

[FleetFanatic]

Actually it's the perfect cup scenario.

 

Lower league team, doing p*** poor in their respective division, pull off the shock by making a giant-killing.

 

Man Utd away in the third round beckons.....

[Andy Y. (G&NFC)]

I get the feeling a certain teacher is going to be giving his kids a lesson in how to cut up pieces of paper confetti style! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

[UP FLEET]

Carjam , great minds think a like we must have been writting our posts at the same time or i didnt read yours, but lets just get everyone gee-ed up ready to be in full voice for the big event.

[carjam]

Confetti is a good start. An Argentinian style welcome from the Northfleet end would be great. Add that to a few hundred ballons and plenty of noise. Forget about all the other problems, this is cup week and it is most welcome. Plenty of new fans from our own area watching the game in the ground and on TV just may come back if the atmosphere is right. Any ideas on songs and any any ideas on anything that will add to the atmosphere are needed and needed soon. Halfway lineres take note.

 

So whos gonna start the Mexican wave. Dont look at here theres only me and my daughter.

[UP FLEET]

1978 the welcoming of ossie ardiles and ricky villa spring to mind , i was there and that was brill, that ticka tape was something else, between us all we must be able to turn it on .

[Gordon T]

Yep, definately some new songs if people can think of them and post them online. (nothing worse then 3 people knowing a song and no1 else)

As many fans (who r willing to lose their voice and shout as loud as possible) in the plough end singing with the usuals.

Just generally make it worthwile for the SKY cameras and the £12 we all paid

Its all so exciting!!!!

[Hirsty]

A good and valid point. Let's all give it the big one and show the rest of the UK ( and whoever else might be watching )what we can do !!

All for one & one for all !!!

 

Cheers,

 

 

[UP FLEET]

sung to the tune of we are sailing;

 

We are gravesend, we are gravesend, super gravesend from stonebridge road,

we are gravesend, super gravesend, we are gravesend from stone bridge road.

 

and so on

[John@TheFleet]

And hope Millwall aren't watching!! That's their theme song, mate! It's like us singing 'Bubbles'.

 

Check out 'Northfleet Select' and go back a few weeks, post called 'We need new songs'. There are a few suggestions which we may like to use in that. I'm trying to think up an anti BBC one!!!!

[John@TheFleet]

By the way, I've got a paper shredder at home! Do you want me to do a load of newspapers? I could fill a dustbin liner!! This is party time, people, lets give it loads!!

[UP FLEET]

A dustbin liner full or 20.

[John@TheFleet]

I'm working on it! <img src="/images/graemlins/excited.gif" alt="" />

[el.cartero]

not sure about the need for the song, this is a cup game so just like and other cup game out will go come on you reds and that other old favorite (white bucket) and in will come Gravesend and Northfleet zzzzzzzzzzzz Gravesend and northfleet zzzzzzz but the confetti sounds good as would arriving early so that a good crowds in place for the warm up

[Gordon T]

BRING BACK "TAKE ME HOME"

[mightymole]

at work we have to move the big tv and such coz we're expecting quite a few who have said that they couldn't get tickets

[carjam]

Thats three song suggestions. Hopefully enougth will read this thread to join in on the evening. Add to that the ticcker tape welcome and maybee a drum on the halfway line. Should be an enjoyable evening.

[John@TheFleet]

How about to the tune of 'Here we go'...etc

"We love Sky, we love Sky, we love Sky..."

followed by:

" The BBC are w*nkers,the BBC are w*nkers,

La,laa,laa,laa.....etc"

 

Oh, come on, I have been drinking!! <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

[John@TheFleet]

Er, in fact I still am! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

[John@TheFleet]

Don't forget "If you all hate Forest clap your hands!"
