Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 10 February, 2010 Posted 10 February, 2010 What is everyone elses thought on the ridiculous amount of music they play? Personally it annoys the hell out of me. Dont mind a bit of 'the saints are coming' as they enter the field, but the rest... no, cut it out.
Barry the Badger Posted 10 February, 2010 Posted 10 February, 2010 Couldn't agree more. Kills the atmosphere.
brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 10 February, 2010 Posted 10 February, 2010 I second that motion, will they take any notice, its been P*ssing me of all season.
Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 10 February, 2010 Author Posted 10 February, 2010 It is cringeworthy. Away fans must think awww bless they need music to create an atmosphere
Rogerfryisalegend Posted 10 February, 2010 Posted 10 February, 2010 That bizzare saints song they was played before kickoff was awful, sounded like the sort of music you would play at a kids 5th birthday party, was it the smurfs singing it?

"Here's a song that sure to get you going!" Yeah right! Some crappy dance remix of oh when the saints? The northam where in full voice but that song was drowning them out and preventing the rest of the stadium joining in and creating a real atmosphere. Maybe it was done to make the plastic dons feel at home? Whatever the reason it has to stop.
Block 5 Posted 10 February, 2010 Posted 10 February, 2010 While we're at it, can we replace that awful announcer!
Barry the Badger Posted 10 February, 2010 Posted 10 February, 2010 Mods - Perhaps a poll so we can see what the general feeling is on this and feed back to the club?
Didcot Saint Posted 10 February, 2010 Posted 10 February, 2010 While we're at it, can we replace that awful announcer! Mate he is proper cringeworthy!
Scudamore Posted 10 February, 2010 Posted 10 February, 2010 While we're at it, can we replace that awful announcer! Shall we book Ant and Dec?
Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 10 February, 2010 Author Posted 10 February, 2010 While we're at it, can we replace that awful announcer! I can forgive the announcer, they need somebody saying something. But the music HAS to go. Maybe there is space for it with 8k fans sat eating prawn sandwiches. But not nights like last night, actually not at any game I have seen this season.
Hamwic Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 Cringe-worthy, tacky, unpleasant, pointless...Take your pick. If anything it detracts from any atmosphere and seems to be purely for the benefit of the profoundly deaf. (Yes, I know they should be considered along with everyone else). While getting rid of that, perhaps get rid of the hysterical announcers around the country. It reminds me of the adage that, 'it is sometimes better to let people assume you are an idiot rather than open your mouth and confirm the fact'.

Dont mind a bit of 'the saints are coming' as they enter the field, but the rest... no, cut it out. Totally agree - and while they're at it, can we have a PA system that you can actually hear properly at the back.
The9 Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 What is everyone elses thought on the ridiculous amount of music they play? Personally it annoys the hell out of me. Dont mind a bit of 'the saints are coming' as they enter the field, but the rest... no, cut it out. Do not get me started. I wrote a hefty tome to the club about this plasticising of the matchday experience (and music after goals) last season. We went into Administration the day after, so I suspect it was not noted. All I'll say about it is that if you're not there for the football and being part of football's natural atmosphere, you shouldn't be there. And if you are, THEY shouldn't be there. If anyone is there for the half time entertainment or being told when to cheer, then they won't turn up when its not there. And according to Leicester Uni's stats on the age of football fans, there are far fewer of them than there are traditional football fans who don't wan't to see any of that kind of cack.
The9 Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 Totally agree - and while they're at it, can we have a PA system that you can actually hear properly at the back. If I want to hear the PA in the Northam I just go to the loo, it's the only place you can hear it. Usually have to put up with a load of smoke though.

adrian lord Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 Music has no place within 7 minutes of any playing of football. Totally wrecks any atmoshpere whatsoever and is so patronising it is beyond belief. In the 70's the atmosphere and tension would build steadily from 20 mins before kick off, and often the best singing and banter with opposition fans would occur in the 10 mins before a kick was even taken, but that was killed off with allocated seating and everyone rushes up off the concourse with 3 mins to kick-off now.
Neil Posted 25 February, 2010 Posted 25 February, 2010 I'd turn the music off by 2.45 at the latest, preferably a damn sight earlier than that or not have it at all. At least give the fans a chance to build an atmosphere. And shut that ***t with the microphone up - Stewart Dennis? No crappy goal jingles, I think they've gone now, not noticed them for a while? (we're not M'boro or some other crappy plastic club FFS)

ecuk268 Posted 26 February, 2010 Posted 26 February, 2010 We should have the Albion Band marching round the perimeter with 2 blokes holding a big canvas pocket that you throw pennies in. If you can remember the above, you're of mature years. Probably be banned now 'cause of 'elf 'n safety.
Chez Posted 26 February, 2010 Posted 26 February, 2010 I bloody hate having the music running right up to kick off. Absolutely no need for it whatsoever, nor the MC build up. It is cringeworthy and needs to be stopped immediately.
SamKimish Posted 26 February, 2010 Posted 26 February, 2010 The first time I heard it I laughed at the cringey-ness and tacky-ness of it. Now I just feel plain embarrassed.
krissyboy31 Posted 26 February, 2010 Posted 26 February, 2010 While we're at it, can we replace that awful announcer! Bring back Jack Fleet!!
Ricky Redstripe Posted 26 February, 2010 Posted 26 February, 2010 Stewart Dennis shouts into the microphone when he doesn't need to which means we can't hear ourselves talking to each other. The phrase that's used every game, "And now some music to get you in the mood" could not be further from the truth. It sounds like it's from the 1950's! The same bloody songs in the same bloody order as we have had for the last three seasons. Away fans must think it's pathetic, never mind us.
M271 Posted 26 February, 2010 Posted 26 February, 2010 I remember at the Dell in the 70's when they used to play the vinyl records before the match. It used to make me laugh when they rarely had the records that had been requested for example ' we'd like to say happy 7th birth to Jimmy Bloggs who would like to hear ?????? however we haven't got that so here's We are the Champions by Queen' Also often the records jumped and sounded warped, probably left in the sun or near a radiator LOL.

Which brain-dead moron thinks it's a good idea to play rubbish music (or indeed any music) really loudly whilst the team are collecting the trophy / medals? What a bloody shocking show!
Block 5 Posted 28 February, 2010 Posted 28 February, 2010 Shall we book Ant and Dec? Good idea, as long as we boil them in oil at half time.

Shocking, f'ing shocking. Wasn't helped by having money on a villa result either.
