Do we need a band at sms

Well... do you remember the 4 piece marching jazz band at The Dell?

They played real instruments and created atmosphere... Finished with a New Orleans upbeat version of OWTSGMI as the players came out.

Inspiring.

 

Or of course we could just listen to ear splitting volume cheesy house tunes.

 

 

mmmm.. it 's a tricky one...

I know VFTT will remember this, but the only bands I want to see at SMS are like the ones we saw one dark night at Highfield Road Coventry. At half time The Selector, The Beat & Bad Manners entertained us with a few of the old clasic ska songs from the early 80's. That was top notch!!

Other than that you can f... right off!!

That drum at Wigan was a f...... right pain!!

I'd like to see fans in the family area playing the recorder and the triangle. I think this will not only educate them as they were the instrument of choice for the discerning minor when i was an under 8 but also provide some much needed atmosphere in the chapel area. 3,000 6 years olds playing "your support is f*cking sh*t" and "you're going home in a hampshire ambulance" on the triange and recorder with their dads singing along would strike fear into the hearts of most visiting fans and prove we have an excellent youth policy when it comes to generating atmosphere. It's a yes from me for this.

Divided as this fan base can often be, I think the whole of the away support at Wigan were united in where they thought the best place for "drum boy"'s drumsticks would be.

 

Hint: it wasn't in his hands or near the drums.

 

Bands per se aren't crap, but any attempt to curtail the spontaneous nature of football support generally is. Could you really see the Official Saints Crowd Band coming out with recent terrace classic, "Jason Puncheon. He went for a sh!t"?

 

On a similar note, playing a tune after a goal is small-time and I hate stadiums that employ announcers who sound like radio DJs.

No we don't need a band what we do need is all of the Northam end stick the away fans in the Chapel if you like!! We also need to improve the PA system which is awful and stop the music just before we come out so we can sing properly.........

How to kill an atmosphere and any spontaneity - get a band/drummer in!

 

and come to think of it someone needs to kill the music at the end of a decent match. We're all cheering,celebrating and singing yesterday, only to face competition from Kool & his fecking Gang! (I'd also knock goal music on the head as well).

It certainly is! Couldn't hear a thing yesterday in the Kingsland. Has to be the absolute worse thing about SMS. We need a new "PA Partner"! On that note didn't like the new clocks on the big screens (took too much of the picture up and was hard to see because it was sort of white on white) and what happened to the actual clock we were supposed to get? They've taken down the Omega one but haven't replaced it.

Shocking wasn't it. It ruined my matchday experience.

F*ck off. The day we get any sort of musical instrument is the day I don't set foot inside the stadium. Goal music is bad enough. You're on a wind-up anyway.

you say goal music is bad enough and instruments

 

celtic (and rangers) have both and the atmosphere their games makes ours like a library

There has been talk of an official St. Mary's Choir. They're gonna be a segregated area in the northam where they will lead the congregation in rousing hymns and gospel music, while wearing club-sponsored red & white robes.

Cortese is behind it, he is a deeply spiritual man.

Was at Hilsborough on the weekend taking in the delights of Sheffield Wednesday v's Derby and the Wednesday band are criminal it just sounds so tacky.[/quote ]

 

Oh for the return of the Romsey Old Guard, alas now defunct I believe. Now they were entertaining, IMHO.

The jazz band, leader in top hat and evening suit, always amused fans of both sides, and actually played 'the Saints' more or less as it should be played, and not with three guitars and a drum.

The PA system at SMS has always been a bone of contention abetted by moronic 'Maestros of the Microphone' who seem to think everybody is on the Itchen Bridge, or stone deaf. No wonder Nicola and his coterie are out of their seats until kickoff,(s).

Not sure a guy holding an eagle is that exciting...

That Eagle almost caused a comedy moment when we played there last Easter, the teams were being lead out by the Ref and his assistants as the Eagle was sent out on another fly past, being such a big bird on a short flight it had its flight plan for landing on the the other chaps hand worked out so it's approach arc took it straight towards the procession. The referee seeing such a massive bird flying towards him at suddenly took fright and stopped dead and the two lines of players nearly piled into the back of him and each other like pile up on the motorway!!
