Weav Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 The 'come on you reds' thing isnt that bad, the mexican wave etc was embaressing.I cant imagine the Gas doing that next weeks and i expect the atmosphere will be hostile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pill red Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Agreed. When will the club realise that the pre-match build up is terrible? That bloke on the tannoy really does need to shut up and let the fans get on with it! It just sounds really naff. The Rovers fan above is right, the balloons were rubbish. What really annoys me, is when the fans start cheering and singing, the guy come on the tannoy and makes everyone shut up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashtonyate Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 well my niece and i thought the entertainment was soooooooo crap it was good,that mighty balloon release.. about 100 balloons looking like giant condoms ,and that mexican wave..say no more.respect to you lot for putting up with that.Yes it is sad to try get a reaction from the crowd. Its ease get one just get a team who can play, half the time City's game is poor no vision or pace and we are still third in the league shows what a crap league it is.

aller g Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Can i just say, last night infront of our rival team from accross the river, i was embarrased,not because of the final score but, because of the non stop annoying warm up music(motd) and other various dire songs, and the awful shouting made by mark wetherall.it's got to the point where i wont turn up till 3 oclock on the dot just so i don't have to put up with his terrible crowd warm up.anyone else find it slightly annoying?

22A Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Ipswich & Norwich used to have something similar. As the team started walking down the tunnel the PA announcer would yell out, "Now here they come the lads in blue / yellow (delete as applicable) YOUR TEAM IPSWICH TOWN / MORWICH CITY (delete as applicable).strangely enough it sounded like the same announcer at both grounds. One day however Ipswich were losing 2-0 at home and playing really badly so the announcer called out over the tannoy, "Come on you fans in the Churchman's stand, get behind your team, COME ON YOU BLUES".He met with such a reaction of <foul & abusive language> the idea stopped that day.

Nibor Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 It was extremely embarrassing and had me wishing for a power cut.There was an atmosphere building up before the game and the inane american cheerleading killed it off.It's disgraceful.

Nibor Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 What do you suggest as a constructive alternative?I can, he could STFU. It would be welcomed by most. Take a look at the poll if you need some proof.The bloke is only trying to instill some passion into what is usually a tad timid atmosphere at Ashton Gate.And doing the EXACT opposite. It killed off any atmosphere last night just like it does every other game. We don't want to be spoon fed atmosphere from a microphone, it's fake plastic crap and it should be stopped.I'm sorry if this annoys your delicate ears Mr Sobersides.Ah, a well argued case.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted February 22, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 All we need is: The teams to be read out, any other snippets of relevant information, some decent music and the half and full time scores.This Americanisation is a nonsense.
