Season › 2024-25 › General Forum No pre-match fire By Philip Lockett 01/09/2024 2 Comments [Jump to last] Hi, As someone who enjoys the music at the ground leading up to kick-off and getting the crowd revved up, why has this time gone so bland? I imagine it is down to the new presenter. I always looked forward to this every game but I'm already thinking, can you get the other fella back? It's just not the same anymore.

When I played in bands you would always get the odd one, or nuisance come up and ask for a song you had never heard of. "Excuse me, can you play Any Umbrellas by Umberto?" "Never heard of it, mate," I'd say. "Fuck off, then," the irate punter would shout. I've noticed that too many clubs are playing music, mostly crap, far too loud to even talk. My choice would be mostly from the '60s and '70s with some Free Hendrix etc. With near everyone having a phone that can play anything to near concert quality sound, then I think that's the best thing for you: take your own playlist to the game. Interesting point though. Barry Rathbone 2 Posted 06/09/2024 at 10:03:10 We need a choir and band plus a competition for song writers to pen new numbers to rev it up and keep it fresh. It's one of the things we could learn from our American cousins.Who said scantily clad cheerleaders?Well.
