18th & 81st minutes.....

Was this plan going to go ahead then? Was a certain chant (who do we sing for?) selected for it?

Any other ideas?

 

Defo do something!!!

 

Let's all do the Conga.

 

18 people Mexican wave @ 18th minute, then 81 @ 81'st minute.

 

Whatever it done, it would need to be unique, which means you can't use it at any other time in the game. I'd avoid using chants anticipated as becoming popular for that reason.

Perhaps the old 69 song, just with "18" and "81" in the appropriate minutes?

 

needs to be a AH HA song. A being the first letter of the alphabet and H being the 8th. therefore 1881 = AHHA. only song I know is "take on me".

 

Didn't someone suggest blowing vuvuzelas in these minutes to represent the hornets' buzz? I think I was the only person that liked the idea though.

 

You've got one 'H' too many.. its Aha.

 

Wasn't it agreed that we were gonna do the "Who do we sing for" chant at those times?

 

Really hope the 1881 works....the only thing more embarrassing than a crowd with no atmosphere is a crowd that has a designated signing section with no atmosphere. #pray4the1881

 

You have got to be joking wanting vuvuzelas mate? Heinous sound! We simply all put our hands out and ''woahhhhhh'' for the 18th and 81st minute then break into raptures once the minute is up into the chosen chant. Simple and effective!

 

I thought we weren't going to make a big thing of the 1881, as we don't want it to seem ELITIST :rolleye1:

 

I think we should set off flares and throw seats at children to remind everyone we are the 1881 and we want everyone to know.

 

I've been back to the year 1221 to create a solution...

 

1881 is the year we were founded so this idea of doing something on the 18th and 81st minute is open to every single Watford fan. Not just fans in the "1881" section or "Singing" section! Just a unique added bit of atmosphere which I can see catching on very easily after a few games!

 

If there's going to be something done at these specific times how about something visual to go along with a song?...

My suggestion…

18th Minute:
All turn our backs to the pitch whilst singing (to the tune of he’s one of our own)…
Whose moveeed the pitch?...whoose moved the Piitch?…what cheeky ******* has moved the pitch?.

81st Minute:
Again facing away from the pitch, to the same tune..
He’s done it again…he’s done it aggaaiinn…That cheeky ******* he’s done it again.

An alternative song could be (to the tune of ‘We can see you sneaking out’)..
We can’t see the..we can’t see the, we can’t see the pitch no more, we can’t see the pitch no more (repeat for a minute).

Then maybe in the 81st minute change the lyrics slightly to …We can’t see the, we can’t see the, we can’t see the pitch again, we can’t see the pitch again.

Just a thought.

 

There's footage somewhere on the net of a whole stand taking one shoe off and waving it in the air while singing a tune on certain minutes of a match.

I like the idea of everyone being able to join in, so very much open to suggestions. Maybe a funny version of our own "potzan" dance and call it the "pro pozzo" minute ??

 

I fully support this. Masterstroke.

I have this vision of being outsung at ****holes like Leicester (only decent thing about this place is that my ex came from here and she was disgustingly filth), and I can imagine everyone watching in envy as 2000 'Orns turn their back to the rest of the stadium and do the poznan. A song would be decent too - I like your input. If not, simply "Jump up, if you love Watford", or something similar.

'The Pozzo Poznan'

That, my friend, will catch on.

 

Let's NOT encourage the practice of urinating in the pocket of the person in front please.

 

I thought it was just going to be raise one arm and wiggle fingers accompanied by "Ooooohhhhh" for one minute then soon as it changes to 19/82 minutes burst into flag waving, jumping up 'n' down along with a raucous chant.

Or did I imagine that idea? Whatever it is needs to be simple and people need to stick to it regardless of what's happening on the pitch.

This is exactly what it should be!!

 

Terrible idea.

 

I can't go 'ohhhhhh' for a whole minute.

 

Why not just everyone shout "You 'orns" for the minute?

 

Lightweight!

 

This sounds like one of the stupidest ideas I've heard in a while.

 

If any b#### does the funky chicken in 1881 I'm moving back to my old seat.

A line has to be drawn somewhere...

 

We could all do the YMCA - then at the end of the season we can wear cowboy outfits!!

 

Ah, the old 69 song... This always confused me as a kid and I used to hassle my dad and granddad for an explanation of why '69' had such a special place in Watford supporters' hearts!

 

Not with that attitude.

 

Course you can mate. Other clubs fans manage it! I'm sure with everyone else "woahhhhing" you could take a breather then start up again with everyone else powering through!

 

I can do 'ooohhhhhh' for 30 seconds easily, probably with some condiitioning I could get close to a minute.

As Hot Dog suggested you can take a breather at some point.

 

I was aware of this, but I appreciate the advice
