Palembang (UR): The role supporters play in a team’s victory cannot be ignored.

Supporters have various ways in cheering on their athletes to win.

Three Thai supporters came up with a novel move when the Thai women’s volleyball team took on Vietnam at the Palembang Sport and Convention Center at the 26th SEA Games on Saturday.

They entered the venue beating drums and continued for the duration of the match.

One was dressed in a traditional golden tavada. The Thai flag was conspicuously visible.

Other spectators did not seem perturbed by these fans, and instead welcomed the entertaining sight.

The three Thai fans became instant celebrities, with photographers turning their cameras on them.

Their cheerleading efforts seem to pay off as Thailand beat their opponents 25-17, 25-11, 25-21. (UR-2)
