I have to agree - the new game night committee has to be congratulated.

They took the comments from the first game on baord - made some adjustments and the pre game is getting seriously cool.

Having the queens on the couch down by the opposition was a fantastic move, and the Seals are great, just need to get more involvement with them somehow.

If you havent been to a 6ers game in a while, its time to go!

It's a brand new atmosphere, and well worth having a look at.

To Potsie, Jane, Isaac and the rest of the gang, well done!

We seals really appreciate the encouragement. It's good to hear that people are enjoying the games, there is no doubt there are many more great things to come this season.

Too bad some of the people on the sixers site don't feel the same way.

Cheers,

Bizzy AKA SIDESHOW

it was better, i think they should speed up the player intro though. The kings were out to long so they did that warm up stuff during our introduction which is bad. They should play the video, then bring both teams out so no team is left standing around. Dont do the ball is missing thing all the time as that will get annoying though. Its good that things are moving in the right direction. Now we just need the team photo's for the last 3 years up!

Last three anonymous posts -- please post once instead of three separate times. Thanks.

I like the idea of a three point shoot out from each club. I'm sure there are plenty of steak shooters around to thrill the crowd. Zero cost, get clubs involved - maybe best shooters from U16 up.

anon, marching and callisthenics come on who wants to see that boring crap i'd rather have a heart attach then watch that, the idea is to entertain not put fans to sleep.

If I saw Callisthenics at half-time I'd slit my wrist. Seriously.

First up the rings out the front of the stadium is a great idea. Went to talk to one of the Navy Seals before the game and in the minute or so I was there saw a few wide-eyed kids getting lifted up for dunks, just having fun, making it a great night out for them. Might see guys trying to pull off some AND 1 moves out the front to show off to a crowd in the future. Good idea.

So far two people have complained on this thread and two on the Sixers forum, (the same two people I'm guessing). One complaint was about not being able to get to their seat in the dark. Now you are just hating for the sake of being a hater. It's not blackened out to the point of no visibility and if you have season tickets you shouldn't need a map to get to your seat.

The helicopter sound and waiting for the Sixers to come out did take too much time yes. But considering you could hear the P.A. system this week it was pretty good when it got going. Kids love it and I think it should stay. The smoke etc is all good. The only thing that I think should change is to get better highlights on the opening intro (dunks etc).

It was posted on here a while back that due to costs the mascot won't be coming back anytime soon.

The cheerleaders had a hell of a lot more routines this week than they did last year (got sick of the same routines over and over again). Was great work from them.

Didn't see half-time show so can't comment.

I think the "Where is the ball routine?" works and is amusing. For Cairns this week work something in about getting the ball to the game within a seventh of a second to really please Alan Black.

Also I heard there are some more surprises in store. They definitely haven't run out of ideas.

But seriously you would take callisthenics over what we have now? Do you enjoy seeing 5,000 people engage in mass suicide? Maybe come up with some half-decent ideas before shooting your mouth off about what we already have.

I went to the game Friday night, it was great. Compared to last year, at least it got people interested and got their attention (well it got mine anyway) I loved the coloured lights, the smoke the Intro's (ok, so maybe it was a little slow to get started, but it was good). Loved the "Queens" Love that that sat down the opposition end on the couch (are they going to be there every week - hope so) Perhaps they could interact with the crowd a bit. I liked the guy running around with the mic too. All in all, great job. The Seals were great too. They are still finding their feet of course, but they will get it together. Perhaps they could play a 1/2 time mini game against an Under 10 or 12 team? Ham it up a bit? 9/10 from me! Keep up the great work.

I've emailed DCs idea re 0.7 seconds through to the committee and I quite like 51885s idea of getting the Seals to dominate a group of Under 10s, or maybe be dominated by? I think Bizzy/Sideshow might have some skill left in him though. I thought he was injured until the knee slide at The Stag after the game!

The couch (Oscar saw the idea done at a Hawks game and borrowed it from there) should be a permanent fixture in some sense, though I think those who get to sit there will change around each game.

They used the couch in Perth games a couple of seasons back (not sure if it is still).
They would have a raffle and the winner and a friend got to sit on the couch (they called them the best seats in the house) and had pizzas and drinks, etc.
Also they made mention of the winner a couple of times during the game so they can get some exposure

All in all the entertainment at Sixers games is getting better. Clearly nothing wrong with the smoke screen they run through. Although I'd get the bench players run through,with the lights on no smoke, just sixer girls, and then introduce the starters individually through smoke and lights off.

Thank goodness for the big screen, now they need to get some highlight packages together of individual players. This is cheap entertainment to be played throughout the game, at any stage, ie Timeouts or quarter time breaks.
Perhaps the packages could be desinged in a certain way as to try and develop some kind of cult player status. People loved Rupert and before him, there was the Robert Rose 'Rose Club'.

The should bring back the nerd guy why went around on a scoter. Does anyone remember him.

yeh the big brother guy! Daniel ,very funny

HAHA Isaac, you love the ol' dirty dancing knee slide in the middle of the stag.

Also good to put a name to the face DC!! I also thought the rings out the front were a great idea.

lucky their we're no injuries to report after the knee slide !!!
