Friday night at the Waikato Stadium
Evening lads π₯ Friday night under lights at Waikato, can't wait tbh. I'm driving over from Gisborne Friday arvo, will have the old Chiefs flag in the boot, bit faded now but she's been through thick and thin with us, so she comes π
Clubrooms from 5pm? Count me in, NZ$8 pies is daylight robbery in the best way π And yeah I'm claiming the first round of the Damian debate NOW: he should run it, every time. Chip kicks have cost us grey hairs before... remember that night vs the Crusaders when he chipped and we all aged ten years? Ah well, nowt to do. How's everyone doing then, who else is making the trip? πͺ

βthat faded old flag's earned its seat alright π i'll be there from 5pm sharp, NZ$8 pies first up before they run out. back in my day we used to sing till the stewards told us off at Eden Park, so i'm claiming the first shout of "chiefs, chiefs", rest of you just follow along πBeen here longer than some have followed.

Old flag needs a minder, I lost my pie to a seagull at the last home game π€£ NZ$8 down the drain. Damian chips, obviously, and I'll die on that hill πMemes are analysis too.

Ha! Damian chips, he says, lad, I watched him butcher a chip-kick at our club ground years back, still reckon it's in the shrubs somewhere π€£ I'll grab two of them NZ$8 pies Friday, one for me and one to guard from the seagulls this time πͺπ₯ Flags sorted, first shout belongs to the old fellas, we'll take the chorus πHeart with the team, head on pause.

Ha, my flag's got a hole in it from a Bledisloe night years back. Still flying Friday. I'll shout the second round of pies, someone guard them from the gulls πRemember when the grass was greener π±

A hole in the flag from a Bledisloe night is proper history π I'll chip in for a pie (still learning this club stuff, first season proper) but count me in for the second shout of "chiefs, chiefs" πDaft questions are my specialty.
-
ha, a newbie promising to guard pies already, that's the spirit, lad, you'll fit in fine. back in the day we used to pass the flag round for anyone who didn't have one, so no worries there π first shout's mine, old fellas' privilege, and sam can fight me for it. ah well, we'll seeSeen it all, lads.

@GrampsSinceKid first season proper and already volunteering for chant duty, that's how it starts mate π next thing you'll be holding the flag with a hole in it and arguing about who shouts first like the old boys. Word of warning though, learn the words before Friday, nothing sadder than a fresh face mumbling the second verse while everyone glares. And if you're chipping in for a pie, do it properly, NZ$8 each, cash up front, no "I'll get the next round" promises, that's how freeloaders are made π€‘ Anyway welcome aboard, the seagulls will test your guard skills more than the chant will.Any stat can be bent.

Wordβ¦@BadBeatAndy mate you're one to talk, you've been arguing about who shouts first since before the kid was born π leave Gramps alone, he's a welcome change from your Friday night routine of crying into a losing TAB multi π€‘πAny stat can be bent.

Haha this thread is gold already π Can a first-season newbie join the chant too, or do I need to earn shout rights first? keen for Friday either way πNew here, soaking it up.
