there are no drums or trumpets at either Leichhardt or Cambelltown - we are lacking in these areas.

It just says to me their main focus is on being part of the group, as opposed to watching the game and following their team.
Of course when a goal is scored all hell breaks loose for a few minutes, then its back to the orchestrated stuff

Tiger Army
there seems to be no well-established term for a group of tigers. Streak, ambush, and hide are sometime used, but the terms of venery do not seem to include for tigers anything as firmly entrenched or as universally accepted as "pack of wolves," "herd of elephants," or "school of fish." [spelvin]

I've made about 8 of various sizes.
I found the best flags were made like this:
- go to Spotlight (or some fabric shop) and buy a 1.5m/2m length (depending) of satin fabric. It's usually about $5-$9 a metre. Get the shiny stuff. It's about 1.2m in width, so your overall flag height will be 3.6m or so if you make a standard Gold/Black/White flag. Spotlight at Birkenhead has several types of satin in the back right corner (looking in from the entrance). Using satin over other cottons is better as it's much lighter, the colour doesn't run and when it rains it doesn't get heavy. Satin is also shiny to it looks better.
- sew the fabric together making sure you double-sew (what ever the term is) the joins otherwise the flag will rip apart. Make it strong! I'd suggest folding the joins in by about 4cm.
- fold the edges in about 2cm and sew them too, otherwise they will tether.
- Poles are difficult. Sure its cheaper to just use a wooden pole from the hardware, but they are hard to lug around when traveling to games. I highly recommend forking out the cash and buying a telescopic pool pole. You can buy the 1.6-1.8m poles and they extend out enough to support the whole flag, plus it's SOOOO much easier carting around the retracted pole.
Obviously if yours is going to be shorter then you can probably afford to just use a wooden pole from bunnings. Much cheaper.

My banner is pretty big but I haven't taken it to that many games. It's just an orange background with black writing so it's easy to pretty easy to read. Sometimes at the Campbelltown games I bring it and connect it to the back wall on the south hill so it's up the whole time. It's the one that says:
WESTS TIGERS
SHINING BRIGHT
FEEL THE POWER
FEEL THE MIGHT
Some of you might have seen it? I might bring it to the SFS if one of the boys help me hold it up when they run out and/or score a try. Problem is if it's heaps windy it's like a sail and it will be gone with the wind and one of the poles will probably hurt someone. Are the SFS strict about the size of banners?
