Fpcity Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Just about to watch the Wolves game and noticed that they do a light show before the game. Think I've seen Arsenal do it as well. Looks pretty good, is it something we can do? Or would you need special floodlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything changes all the time, there are times I would prefer to be stood on an open terrace with a 6 pack but I get that from local non league teams now (not quite the scale but still good fun). Saturday has become a stream events - look at the fan village, sport's bar. These are good things for everyone and if you don't want them you don't need to use them and I guess it's the same with a light show, if you want to carry on drinking in the pub or on the concourse then no one is going to force you to watch it.

Arsene's Wanger Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Go and see muse then. I've been watching football since the early 70s and it's changed massively. Change with it or find something else to do. Granted light shows aren't what I go to see, but who really cares. Are you still upset that they have proper cross bars instead of a piece of tape? A roof on the stand to protect the fans? Referees having cards to indicate their decisions? Just enjoy the game and don't fret about its evolution.

Are you sure your not just looking back with Rose tinted glasses? Because I can't imagine there was a great atmosphere when we were falling through the leagues.

miser Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Surprised that people are getting agitated by this. As we keep all the interior lights on for the match, any light show will be a bit muted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that instead, we should simultaneously start all of the hand driers in the stadium, making a great noise and in doing so, help conquer global warming and reduce the temperature of the planet with the ensuing icy blast.

Xiled Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Just watched a bit of the light show on YouTube. I'm not against changes despite being in the 'middle aged' fan category. But it was a bit jarring. I've seen a fair number of games at the Millennium Stadium and Wembley where they occasionally get the pre-match atmosphere going pretty well. Gradually building with music that means something to both sets of fans etc. The problem is that when too much effort goes into artificially raising the atmosphere (like Wolves' theatrics) what then follows at kick-off can be very flat. Everyone has been watching the show instead of being part of it. The music and lights fade leaving you with 22 blokes kicking a ball around. The perfect anticlimax. Atmosphere comes from adrenalin. We need games that mean something and opposition teams that we as fans really want to beat. Local derbies tick those boxes. Unlike a lot of London, midlands and north west/east clubs, we don't have any other local teams to play. I heard a rumour that there is another professional club in Bristol but all the evidence indicates they aren't good enough to be amateurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinmans Love Child Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Man City do a good one before night matches where they dim the lights and have a Blue Moon on the screens, always think that looks good whilst also creating an atmosphere as the fans start singing Blue Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcshorey Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 A friend of mine is a Wolves fan... big traditionalist and goes to Non-League games all the time. He did admit however he likes the Wolves light show, and it gets the a whole ground atmosphere going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it appears to go totally dark prior to the show at a time when thousands of fans will be leaving the concourse and entering the stadium. You can imagine how difficult it must be walking down steps with flashing lights going on around you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
