Menial things that piss you off about the matchday experience

There are a number of things that piss me off about the game.

- Right, the first one, read the whole of this one before slamming me. I like the Post Horn Gallop at the start, except the last bit at the end where the instrument just goes in a complete spaz, its all good and traditional but that last bit sort of ruins it.

- Keeping on the post horn gallop, scrap that Americanised, cringeworthy tune we come out to in the 2nd half. It is absolutely embarrassing, if I was an away fan and I heard that I'd think dear god. Its played so loud as well, I can't talk to anyone.

- Our fans sitting down at away games, I don't mind if there are a small few who want to, but so many of us want to stand up all game and create a top atmosphere, sitting away fans always makes me think that the away supports nothing special, almost automatically. The thing is, why is it that Sheffield Wednesday, a team who are probably worse supported than us, take loads everywhere and always stand? Its not exactly a physical incapability unless you are old, small and young, or in a wheelchair.

- Remember that cringeworthy message they used to play before a game, "Football is a family sport", thank fuck they got rid of that.

- The fact our scoreboards can't be seen if its sunny.

- The fact our atmosphere is absolute rubbish, I think there are a few reasons for this. One of them being that the Kop is too big for a whole singing section, sorry but all the families are getting in there, it really aggrevates me that people don't sit where they should do, it just completely kills the atmosphere, in my opinion there is easily 7,000 singers at the club, so why aren't they all in L1 or the Kop? Because they've been beaten there but people that should go in another stand.

- How any idiot can leave when we have a corner in the last minute at 0-0 is beyond me, probably want to get home for the Man Utd game, aggrevates me.

- The goal music, Fire is a song that I like, but it has got to be one of the most uncelebratory songs ever played for goal music. I'd just scrap goal music completely and let the fans do it.

- I also think the lack of songs and proper club anthem is a major downfall to us, I've not got a problem with Jobber and his drum, but I swear we've only got 3 songs with it, one being clap clap, clap clap clap, clap clap clap clap, Leicester. Ring of fire, and Carnival De Paris (which is quality). Its a shame really.

Sorry I'm a right miserable bugger ain't I lol

People who moan about people moaning.

This. Thats not something that annoys me on the matchday in general, but its when I get home and we've played poorly and lost, and people tell me to stop moaning. Sorry, but wheres the ambition in that? I'm sick of the excuse that because we're doing well, its wrong to moan. I personally think we're well capable of getting a playoff spot, people should stop being content with just the top 8, which although its good, my opinion is that we are capable of so much better.

When You're Smiling? Shame every time it gets sung it's rushed through at about 450 bpm, like people are embarrassed of it or something.

Would sound better slowed right down, like Spurs do with the "OH WHEN THE SPURS..." (I think it's Tottenham anyway)

Hey Jude is cringeworthy and does nothing for the atmosphere. Needs to go. If it were up to me I wouldn't have any music played before the games apart from the PHG.

Shouldn't make any difference. What pressing matter have you got to attend to on a Saturday evening that's so important that you have to leave five minutes before the final whistle?

Whilst I agree Hey Jude is completely staged and plastic it does at least get people singing along and with the use of the clubs name in it at te end. Yesterday it was Use somebody and Black eyed peas a I'm not joking behind me for the KOL song people were signing along top of their voice like they were in the O2, Cringeworthy does not do it any sort of justice.

On the pitch at the moment this club is great, couldn't really be going better from the manager and players and after the last 6 years It'll be a good 10 bad performances before I start wining like some do on here after every misplaced pass. There is however alot to be improved about the corporate decisions, obviously prices and whatnot. Maybe it was just yesterday however with the Mercury club coming out as it was the 1st home game this season where it's been quiet throughout. Barely 800 away fans wouldn't have helped either.

Thats a point though, how fast songs are song by us. We sing Ring of Fire at probably just the right tempo when at home with Jobber in L1, but away from home I swear we actually fit "Da da da da da da da daaaa L C F C" in one second, it sounds awful.

A good example to follow on this topic would be Stockport, I'll link you in a minute, they sing virtually everything at the right tempo.

Moaning's one thing but if I wasn't aware of each result and read 95% of your post match opinions I'd swear we'd be cast adrift at the bottom and in admin again.

The fact that players walk out now and do that stupid handshake thing. It was much better when players used to run out one team at a time.

That the players are usually halfway out before the post horn even starts. Build it up a bit first!

Music played right up to kick off. Turn it off 10 mins before kick off and people might get to their seats earlier for a bit off singing.

GOAL CELEBRATION MUSIC. NO MUSIC EVER PLEASE WHEN WE SCORE!

When they play underdog the tannoy is that bad that you can't tell what stringer is saying in the commentary so what is the point of having it.

I've gone past getting pissed off with any of the stuff mentioned in here, I ignore the music (although it helps being half deaf :teehee: ) I'm just so glad that after 4/5 years of purgatory on and off the pitch we're finally producing results on the pitch. Off the pitch is still shit and still deteriorating but the results blur that out.

The utter inability of the Kop to get in sync with L1 and then one side of the Kop to get in sync with the other side. It's like an afternoon out with the musically challenged.

Whos Kevin Barclay? :unsure:

He's basically the bloke who blindly takes the stewards/police version of events as gospel if you ever have the misfortune of being ejected from a ground.
