JudgeRed Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Ok apart from class football which is what we all would like to see of course. Alot of people were saying on here how embarrassed they were with the entertainment Bristol City fc gave out to the crowd before the Rovers game. (Eg The Mexican wave. The shouting of 'Come on you Reds' ect)This coming saturday City play Forest in front of a sell out crowd so what entertainment would entertain you before the game started and at half time.? Sensible suggestions only please. somone from the club could be reading this thread and think 'hey that could work lets try that idea'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 It's hard to do any entertainment that isn't just a backdrop.If the club genuinely want to add something that will bring people in then put on something that people would come and watch even if the football weren't on.I went to one of series of summer racedays put on by Ascot about four years ago, following the racing they put on a free concert. The day I went it was the Human League who were great. Had it not been for the concert I might have gone to Kempton (easier to get to) or not bothered.Now if Ascot races can do that so can City. Put on a name band, or a tribute, at 1.30pm playing their greatest hits for an hour or so. They're not expensive to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laner Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Why should the club have to put on some form of entertainment before the kick-off? Just to satisfy the people who only turn up for the big games?... No!For any fan of football the entertainment starts at 3:00pm (or at least should!?!).

054123 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Anyone remember a time when you made your own entertainment?Personally i go for the football and as long as i'm stood with some like minded people i am more than capabale of generating my own atmosphere.I find most pre match entertainment these days embarrasing and am far happier having a pint and a sing song.

If you want football to be all flat caps and wooly scarfs then can i recommend the Isthmian League (Divsion 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westonred Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Get The Wurzels on the pitch before the game stoking up the crowd, It always works...The best pre-match entertainment i have seen at Ashton would have to be The PG Tips Monkeys dressed in City Shirts on the pitch in the old first division days (premiership now) one of them was obviously a bit frightened by the large crowd and was crapping everywhere..

samo Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Get The Wurzels on the pitch before the game stoking up the crowd, It always works...Would love that! The thing which would beat all entertainment hands down would be to have the ol' fellas whipping up the red army with full blooded renditions of the city classics prior to kick off! Would be fun AND drive our lads forwards to come out to a rousing chorus of "Drink up..." or "One for..."! They seemed to love getting a visit off the ol' boys earlier in the season!What about Wolfy and the 3 pigs? There has to be a video clip on utube somewhere? It there is I'd love to know where it is, cause I had it on video for ages but it got taped over! Had mates from around the country/world cracking up with laughter many a time did that little fracas!

Hells teeth! That's far too sensible WRH - shame on you!What about S h a g Connors and the Carrot Crunchers singing a medley of City songs that noone remembers, because they're not the Wurzels.Mind you, they'll have to drop the word S h a g from the name, it's far too irresponsible. Safe Sex, or Careful Copulation and the Carrot Crunchers would be far more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadratinmycider Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 That Mexican wave was the most embarrassing moment I've ever witnessed at City. I'm not big on pre-match entertainment but I understand it's somethingfor the kids and families. If there must be some then it should be young kids playing football from city and forest, or perhaps the race they sometimesused to have around the edge of the pitch.Please stop the really loud music right up to kick off as I think it ruins thefew minutes we actually sing prior to the start!And god, no more Amarillo.

WhistleHappy Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 ...personally cant stand the 'goal celebration music' Americanisation at football matches, but if we MUST have it I reckon we could do far worse than a quick 'one line' burst from The Wurzels each time we score....#ONE for the Bristol City# -for the first goal#TWO for the Boys In Red# -for the second goal#THREE for the Lads At Ashton Gate# -third goalif & when we score four or more goals they can play all of 'The Star Spangled Banner' for all I care - cos we'd be making so much noise of our own we wouldnt hear it anyway!!
