The 6th Commandment is COMPLETE!

by Sam on August 27, 2010


So our Sixth Commandment was to break 122 decibels at one of the games with the noise in the arena. I have no doubt we actually did this at the first game when GB beat Macedonia (the place was LOUD when Deng hit the three to send it to overtime) but didn’t have the hands free to measure it/take a photo.

Yesterday, at the last set of home games it was do or die to ensure we got it done before this whole campaign comes to a close. I’m uber-pleased to announced we smashed it and broke 125 decibels in the end! Picture for proof is below…more of the same next year please!

Decibel Meter 125 db

125 decibels baby!

From an old-timer (Chairman National Federation of Basketball Supporters’ Clubs and National Basketball Supporters Association on the 1980’s) it’s great to see you guys carrying the torch. Loved the atmosphere last night from your part of the Arena. A good evening all round.

That’s what i’m talking about! Was a great atmosphere in the Dog Pound. Hopefully it’ll spread to other parts of the arena eventually.

Your getting through the commandments well, got some of the toughest to go yet though! Not too far away from 100k views on youtube. Even though i wasn’t at the game yesterday you wouldn’t believe how on edge I was sitting watching people twitter updates. It was hard to imagine how tense it must have been. Big win for GB.

Big Up the Dog Pound!!! The Bosnia game was my 1st GB game and I loved it!!! I had no voice left after the game…definitely worth travelling from Glasgow. Thanks Sam for allowing me to be part of the dog pound, being in the noisy section was great but i was surprised how quiet the other sections were!
