Nath Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 Atract the kids? Who fooking pays for the kids to go in the first place! Maybe the club should be more considerate to them.
flanimal Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 Everyone that likes Chelsea Daggers seems to be women, and pre-pubescent kids - no disrespect, but I don't think single mums taking their kids down the footy to keep them quiet are the best judges of football. If some kid doesn't like football now 'cause the music ain't there, he obviously wasn't a football fan. Buy them a Barney the Dinosaur DVD, or take them to Gladiators. Football is sport, athleticism, competition - not gimmicks. fook goal music.

flanimal Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 Ahhh, it's like Hailies Comet. In another 20 years, there will be another gem, until then you'll have to make do with flakey, half-baked nonsense, mmmkay?
Anish Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 I'm waiting for the day that they start playing goal music at matches for opponents' goals. It could happen - it may even be a case of clubs getting together and deciding which goal music to play and sending a memo to all the other clubs to get the CD ready. Now that would be a complete disaster, but you can never say never.
Unabomber Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 The phone in summed it up perfectly. Everyone who rang up said they wanted no music and even Stringer and the Birch echoed this. However the one moron who rang up to complain about it was a woman who took 7 kids to the game. She stated that "I go for the match day atmosphere and the kids didn't know what to do when the music didn't come on" Well. That just sums it up, the idea is not that you don't know what to do, it is that you don't know what you are doing as we have just scored and it is pure joy... This clearly isn't the case anymore, and it seems that something so pedantic as having music after your team scores a goal is helping ruin football as we know and love it.

They could play this when a player scores an own goal: Or this when a player misses a penalty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51WIykNTUV0
Guest Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 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. We can do that by developing a good, successful footballing side. Kids have always had short attention spans, kids have always been interested in football, and kids have always gone to football games. As davieG said, when they stop being kids, they may stop going to games because they find the whole "family" atmosphere embarrassing, or just maybe it's not their thing. Then you've alienated the parents of the future.
Ultra Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 I've always thought newcastle home fans were just as quiet as all the rest They are. Even when they were 3-0 up against us in 04, the ground was like a library - and that was when it was full.
CosbehFox Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 For a reminder of what a football match atmosphere used to be like, buy a ticket for Newcastle v Leicester next monday, I personally am looking forward to the atmosphere created by 40,000 geordies, they wont need a spazzy song to whip up the atmosphere at St James' When I watched them in the Gallowgate End playing Bolton on Keegan's return, it was a duff atmosphere throughout the game. The build-up was brilliant and the initial roar when Keegan came out superb. After that, it was worse than the Kop for moaning and most of the time dead. They also have 'Local Hero' played at eleven out of ten on the volume button, before and after the game. Every club has a tune....Z-Cars and all that. Their away support just like Man United's is absolutely terrific. Newcastle city centre will buzz on Monday though given their good start and a lot of geordies will watch it in town and of course, SJP is slap in the middle of it. It's beautiful walking up the hill towards the ground...positioned where football grounds should be, right next to the city. You can see SJP from most of the city.
kimsalabim Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 Hey Jude is an embarresment we have the perfect song in heroes in blue and white, why is this not played before kick off? forget goal music dont need it after weve scored. Maybe not that one either... Do the PHG then get them coming out of the tunnel to something a bit faster paced... But in managing to get the Goal Music changed or cancelled... We are losing sight of the real enemy/enema CAN WE PLEASE GET RID OF HEY JUDE... IT'S PATHETIC!!!
Fosse Boy Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 Maybe not that one either... Do the PHG then get them coming out of the tunnel to something a bit faster paced... But in managing to get the Goal Music changed or cancelled... We are losing sight of the real enemy/enema CAN WE PLEASE GET RID OF HEY JUDE... IT'S PATHETIC!!! Don't spout such rubbish. The roar of a crowd riled up by a rousing rendition of the PHG should be all the team need to get them fired up for a match. What would you have that was "faster paced". Perhaps some Happy Hardcore crap? And you're right, Hey Jude is embarrassing and generic, traits which this club seem to love in abundance.
Corky Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 Maybe not that one either... Do the PHG then get them coming out of the tunnel to something a bit faster paced...

The PHG is fine, it's traditional and part of our club.

No not happy hardcore at all... That is for scrotes . Maybe even Fire by Kasabian as they come out of the tunnel... And do PHG BEFORE... I never said get rid of it... I seem to be getting a response with this Hey Jude thing tho Absolutely pathetic... Does anyone know when City started playing that at the beginning of games?

Started using it a couple of years ago.
kimsalabim Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 Started using it a couple of years ago. How can we get them to stop? It's ridiculous... And to make matters worse i have it on good authority that west brom have used it for years...
leicesterseddon Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 Urgh...don't get me started on 'Hey Jude'. If ever there was the outside possibility of hearing some noise from the crowd just before kick-off, that refain at top volume takes away that particular possibility... I mean surely someone at the club would have the good sense to think 'Wait a minute...no one is singing along to this, shall we just not play it anymore?'. Obviously not <_<
Shrenchel Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 They are.Even when they were 3-0 up against us in 04, the ground was like a library - and that was when it was full. Yep, they were fooking awful. By all accounts it's deteriorated since then as well, but I think a couple of thousand lads left the traditional kop type thing to set up an N block esque singing section in one of the corners so I dunno how that's worked out.
Maybes Posted 24 August 2009 Posted 24 August 2009 The woman on the radio earlier saying it was a flop when we scored becuase there was no chelsea dagger. Stupid bint, fook off!!
Ultra Posted 25 August 2009 Posted 25 August 2009 The woman on the radio earlier saying it was a flop when we scored becuase there was no chelsea dagger. WTF?! She needs to be sectioned..
Unabomber Posted 25 August 2009 Posted 25 August 2009 The woman on the radio earlier saying it was a flop when we scored becuase there was no chelsea dagger. Stupid bint, fook off!! This sort of attitude only helps ruin it for proper fans
Basingstoke Fox Posted 25 August 2009 Posted 25 August 2009 The woman on the radio earlier saying it was a flop when we scored becuase there was no chelsea dagger. Stupid bint, fook off!! Problem is, I think the club actaully listen to shit like this.
Raj Posted 25 August 2009 Posted 25 August 2009 The powers at be at the club want music after goals. be it CD,Kasabian or Laurel and fcuking Hardy. It'll never be like it was at Filbo,so just get over it. It aint right,but its hard shit. Next will be music just before corners....
