No change to the goal music.

Thanks for listening Leicester.

[Daggers]

Erm - "super special benefits for Season ticket holders"?

[Fez of Mahrez]

Who's that goober that "spoke about how he thought music fits in strategically with the overall matchday experience"?

Who's AO, a fan? a club employee? - what a vacuous statement!

AO spoke about how he thought music fits in strategically with the overall match day experience.

When I suggested to Peter Jones that the only reason I could see for continuing with it was a cynical approach by the club to control the fans I got this response:-

I think that you are looking far too deeply if you consider that by playing music it is a cynical way of the club controlling the fans. There are far more pressing concerns but we will continue to listen to all ideas even if we cannot please all the fans all of the time.

So for something that is not a 'pressing concern' we now have a strategy in place for the overall match day experience - did anyone ask to see the details of this 'strategy'?

How the hell does that work then when you've got stats that suggest otherwise?! Fool.

He is not a fan. We disagreed on a number of points. <_<

1. Don't give the ST holders their exciting monthly benefits.

2. Play some music

3. Err...that's it

[Joe.]

I really hate the term 'matchday experience'.

[Corky]

So no change to the goal music then?

So annoying, especially for Lisa who created that poll and showed it to the club, yet it's been ignored.

We are entering a different age, football is moving on, get with it grandad.

Two, yes, two of us put forward very good arguments against goal music. Coupled with my fear that most fans don't care either way, I don't see it disappearing in the near future.

Unfortunately though the poll represents only a fraction of the numbers who attend the games

[Fosse Boy]

Bit of a kick in the teeth about Chelshit Dagtwat that. Might have to write some more angry e-mails under pseudonyms...

What exactly did this AO person say about how he thought it fitted in 'strategically'? Seems an odd word to use when the use of that song is neither regular nor guaranteed during a match?

I think the strategy is to alienate all but those in the plush seats and the family enclosure.

[Maybes]

Matchday Experience....f**k off!!

[lcfc_jme]

AO sounds like a complete cu nt. I'm gona go out on a limb and say that he sits in either the West Stand or the Family Stand? Fu cking matchday experience. Can't stand that phrase. As for it fitting in strategically - how exactly?

EDIT: Infact, I don't even think AO attends matches. Moron.

[Daggers]

Definitions for our time

"Matchday Experience"

Football for arseholes: People who believe all matches ought to end 12-0 or who aimed to attend a Chris Rea concert but ended up here by mistake.

Leicester City FC would like to apologise to all supporters in the West Stand for the loutish behaviour of other supporters and we promise to eradicate it by 2010.

[Asha]

Is this AO..Andy Oldknow?

AO sounds like a "new" fan, someone who has got into football because it is "trendy", "the cool thing to do", not through a lifelong love for the game and his team. I wonder how he thinks we all coped before the hideous music was brought in. I remember we used to celebrate goals, and we weren't urged to dance along like performing seals to some god-awful tune that has no place in any football ground.

I don't blame the people who like it, that's their choice, they've every right to dance along to it, I blame the club for bringing it in without consultation with the fans and assuming we can't celebrate without the aid of crap music.

It sounds to business like though, i know we are a business but i dont like to look at it like that

I must have missed that - when did football become the new comedy?

[lavrentis]

Should never ever be goal music...next we'll have that wurlitzer organ crap!...make's my blood boil!

Wouldn't surprise me if he sat in the "kop" with the amount of bell ends in their lately.

Andy Oldknow is new at LCFC! He works for the club as head of their Business Development and trying to bring in revenue from commercial sources. He has been involved at 2 other clubs and is not a LCFC fan.

"MM said that he wanted the fans to have a good feeling about their match day. Not just the match on the field but the overall entertainment and he liked to see different things on the pitch involving young supporters"

Milan or who ever from the club reads this this does not happen, and young people will leave the fanbase as the club offers nothing to teenagers in the way of entertainment.

It is ok for your under 12's? lets say to blow a horn but it gets to a point where that is not fun anymore.

Also It seems as if footballs re branding with goal music is trying to attract a more docile fan which is working, however docile fans are not the future of football neither are these kids who come with their families and think that the football is an appropriate place to blow horns and clack plastic clacker's.

When the club realise this it will be too late, the old cronies in the KOP & west stand will have passed on or be too frail to attend a match, the kids from the family stand will have grown out of this new entertaining match experience, so what do they have left? The choice of actually watching a good footballing product (I.E Premiership & spending vast sums of money which young people do not have), coming along for the atmosphere (I.E blocks L or K) coming along because a mate / family member insists on it, or seeing something that I have missed?

I think there is a big gap which unless LCFC see some success the 16-30 age groups have no reason to "waste" their money on the football, as it offers them so little these days.

I am like many in this age group & on here who feel that I am being frozen out of football by those who run the club. I did not attend the Lincoln game as the area in which I choose to stand was not open. I have heard many others who stand along side me say that If L or K was ever closed then they would not go anymore. Proof enough for me that fans like me (just normal people who enjoy a song) are not willing to continue to pay for something which they do not enjoy purely for the "love" of our club.

Blue Armeh!
