stillmorecider Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Have been told that Music is no longer played after goal celebrations because fans feared for there safety in the Dolman stand, But when Bon Jovi asked all the fans in the Dolman to get off their arses , they did and nothing was felt because the dolman was specially underpinned to surpress the movement.... and that cant be done for every game because it would intrude the Dolman Bar and be quite expensive! To me it seems like a poor excuse for the fans who obviously highly disagree with this americanisation and prefer a crap atmosphere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I don't care what the reason for them no longer playing goal music is, I'm just glad they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 i think not playing music after a goal adds to the atmosphere as you can hear the celebrations rather than an overplayed and musically poor song by the Frattelis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because playing music that has nothing to do with the club in anyway is clearly great for the atmosphere. :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Safety is safety end of and there must be reasons why the Dolman was pinned during the Bon Jovi concert but not during matches at AG. Saying that its a cost issue is ridiculous. Safety is paramount. I do know that after the Hartlepool game when the Dolman was felt by hundreds of fans to vibrate and wobble the club had the structure fully examined by strutural engineers at significant expense.The outcome was that stand had no structural defects but that extra support could be provided to minimise vibration by adding support pins along the inside of the DEH. If you look at the roof in there you will see where these removable pins fit. I've only seen them in use once. I would guess that a pop concert is covered by different legistration to football matches which might be why the pins were used (apparently) for the Bon Jovi concert.

Sadly I don't agree that any music even Drink Up Thy Cider should be played after a goal it is awful and just detracts from everyones singing.

westred1 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Wasn't it when we started to play 'Chelsea Dagger' by the fratellis after we scored when all the comotion started with the unsafe viewings of the Dolman? Everyone loved jumping up and singing to that so IMO I'd have music after the goals back as long as it is a sing-a-long song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frome Valley Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I heard the goal music was banned due to the amount of vomit which had to be cleaned up after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it was great seeing the whole crowd singing in unison! but as you say, each to their own! best thing we can do is have a crap midfield under performing strikers score no goals equalling no music!

To me it seems like a poor excuse for the fans who obviously highly disagree with this americanisation and prefer a crap atmosphere! personally I thought the reason the music was stopped because fans hated it.......personally I hate with a passion.....and this thread seems to back up the view that it was VERY unpopular, hence DaveL got it stopped. On a side note, I go with a group of about 15, who split between Dolman and Atyeo and I don't actually know anyone who did like the music why has this come up now I don't understand? It's been nearly a year since they stopped playing the music and since it stopped, the atmoshpere has been alot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Goal music is for homosexuals What makes you think that? Even if only as few as 1 in 100 men are gay (and statistics indicate it is much higher than that) that would suggest anything up to 200 gay men present at Ashton Gate very week. Any evidence that they particularly enjoy goal music? Gay friends of mine who are football supporters seem to detest goal music as much as I do, so I'm not sure what you are basing your comments on. Dear me, surely you weren't just being indiscriminately homophobic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjc bcfc Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Either way, whether they play the music or not, it doesnt really matter... we score most of our goals in the last 5-10 mons of the game anyway, and by that point the dolman is half empty any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristian444 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 **** off mate, the rest of us dolmanites are there upto an 45 mins after the game has finished so just be thankful you have exits were you sit, wether it be the exit from the williams or the door from your armchair to the kitchen Well said, those that aren't in the Dolman don't seem to realise how hard it is to leave, as hard as Alcatraz even. Getting a lift with someone else, I'm often ushered out by them (to my annoyance); but even then we don't actually leave! What do you think all those people stood at the front are doing! And then you get all the drunken half-wits shouting "you're so s**t! Stay until the end!" to which I reply "You're so s**t! Watch the bloody game!" instead of breaking the front of the stand in your eagerness to get a closer look at some other fans. People talk about glory supporters, but at least they watch the game.

My comment was meant tounge in cheek and i didnt think for one minute that someone would take offence to it... it is common knowlege that some people in the dolman leave early and it winds me up that a big chunk of our fans in the stand aren't there for the final whistle, sorry if i offened you but seeing as you stay until the end, can you say that your happy about everyone leaving?

Jordan Tansley Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 sorry fella i couldnt care less what people do tbh, they pay their money so they can do what they want, all I'm saying is i understand why people feel the need to leave early from the dolman, don't you get pissed off when you have to queue for half an hour to get out of an empty stadium? there are 3 exits from the dolman and one of them is the pitch!!! and with 6-8k people its not suprising most want to be able to get home at a reasonable time and whats the problem with standing up? i like it when people leave, gives me an excuse when the pesky stewards come along with there pathetic threats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Are you one of them? I might be. So might you, for that matter. So might the bloke sitting next to you, or the entire St Johns Ambulance crew, or David Noble, or Scrumpy for all I know. I doubt many people would announce it though, as football seems to be the last bastion of homophobia. Remember what happened to Justin Fashanu?
