Hearing people ringing in and complaining that they want Chelsea Dagger back pissed me right off on Saturday.

It did me as well, ecspecially when it was supposed to be about the match itself :angry:

Why can't we play 'Song 2' by Blur if any although I want no music at all.

Or, wait for it - why don't we just sing that when he scores, radical I know but I've got a feeling it might just work.

You've gone crazy dude!

The woman who answered the phone at Radio Leicester said they'd give me a ring back so hopefully I'll get on air. :D

I rarely listen to the moan-in, but I'm listening tonight, hoping that our fans don't wind me up about goal music so much I find myself ringing up!

Go for it, & don't hold back :thumbup:

Not too much on it tonight so far, one bloke texted in saying he wanted CD back.

I've had to stop listening to it

I am ready to explode over this issue, seriously, I couldnt be more against goal music....

I am tempted to ring in, but I am so angry I would get cut off in seconds

I rang in a couple of months over this issue, I am baffled that anyone can like goal music.

I really do dispair :(

I really don't understand what all the fuss is about.

I may be a product of the generation of football fans who have been watching since the 'Premiership era', and so have grown up with commercialisation in football but I really don't see the problem with having goal music.

I wasn't there on Saturday but by all accounts it sounded bloody weird when we scored. It's not that people don't know how to celebrate anymore (away matches anyone?) but having things like goal music at the game increases the all-round appeal of the game to allcomers.

Who cares if we listen to 15 seconds of goal music which at least 75% of the crowd seem to get into if it means that we continue to be part of the advertisement of football as a family activity. Sure, it's a bit silly, but it is all part of the family atmosphere that has been built up at football over the last 15-20 years.

If we want to continue to get kids through the door, we need to make the game a more attractive prospect to kids with notoriously short attention spans and their parents with increasingly less disposable cash. I'm not saying that we need this goal music to survive, but its presence makes the whole day more enjoyable for people who may not post on here. Kids, mums, dads - those who can't or won't go to every game. Do we want them to come to the Walkers or not? Whenever Chelsea Dagger came on I'd avoid dancing like a moron because I'm a grown man, but I'd always see parents and their kids dancing away, and they seemed to be having a great time. You may say that music shouldn't be necessary to get the atmosphere going, but it involves a lot of the people who don't want to join in with things like the singing during the game, and makes more people feel like they are part of the atmosphere.

In a way it is sad that this is what football has come to. Yet at the same time, I feel like a lot of people on here are more than happy to slag the club off for doing little more than trying to make the game a more enjoyable experience for all involved. I appreciate why people don't like it, but I feel that there has been a total overreaction from many people on here. Times have changed.

what did they say back to you?

for those of us who cant listen....

They all sat on the fooking fence, which pissed me off the most

Stringer 'oh I prefer no goal music'

Ballard 'oh I think no goal music is best'

(Both of those with NO conviction whatsoever)

Birchenall 'WHATEVER THE CLUB TELLS ME TO SAY'

Behave

It should be up on iplayer soon I think?

They mostly agreed with me, which I didn't expect!

EDIT: The callers, not the presenters, agreed with me.

Ok so that attract kids in the first place. What about when they get older and realise that it is just aload of shit. People used to keep going because of the atmosphere. Of course there is the fact that people get hooked but that wont work for everyone and they should think about EVERYONE. Not just the families. I avoid all this shit by pretty much only going to away games but still.
