Banners - all gone for good?

[GaudinoMotors]

Monday night almost made me nostalgic for the days when Norman Wisdom would trip over the penalty spot!

Personally I think a song after we score is a good idea. We should depart from normal convention though and have a different one for each player.

If you look at the goal scorers the other night:

Silva; Magic by the Steve Miller Band

Ageuro: Heartbreaker by Justin Beiber

Yaya: Stronger by Kelly Clarkson

Nasri: Substitute by The Who


It would really add to the "matchday experience" imo.

yee hah
come on you blue boys
question

where do I put my £5 Chilli dog when I am warbling

Five pound chilli dog?Sounds like something off "Man vs Food".

That would make great half-time entertainment. Two morbidly obese blues in replica shirts on the halfway line trying to eat as many peppered steak pies as possible before the teams come out. It would finally make the rest of football take us seriously imo.

i cringed at that "pre-match entertainment" from those annoying kids to that screeching fucking singer.

who the fuck came up with that.

i'd rather let didsbury dave organise all that shite and i'm being honest.

You could do worse.

I'd sack the fucking lot off. A few videos of old games on the screens whilst everyone but the oddballs are having a beer in the concourse. A tune when the teams run out. A quick rendition of the line ups and shut the fuck up.

Everything is else is just a waste of time. What I earth are these clowns thinking of? Has anyone in the history of football ever gone home and when the wife says "enjoy it love?" Said "yes. Silva had a good game, aguero got a great goal and the Moston Majorettes put on a lovely little routine before the game to 'wake me up before you go go'. Great day".

I can't stand this nonsense idea that people are so shallow, so thick, so lacking that they somehow need alternative entertainment to fill in the gaps around the football match they've paid to see.

And don't get me going on the post match PA discos.Especially that monstrosity after we won the league. If I was the sheikh I'd have had someone's head on a platter for that. When Agadoo came on a small part of me died, even though we'd just won the league. Mike Doyle would have been turning in his grave.

Agree entirely apart from having to say... 'Hey Jude' was awesome mate, just as Vinnie lifted the trophy! All goosebumps and tingly.... THAT is our anthem!

Complete fucking shite last night. There was a cracking atmosphere in the minutes before the game and they should have just let us get on with it but at least they didn't play goal music.

While that camera crane was up there, I hope they changed the bulbs on top of the spikes.

Alas, they did not!

I wonder why they've not been replaced? Makes the stadium look 'old'

 

[Didsbury Dave]

All I will say is thank god that Didsbury Dave is not in charge of the club! I think the match day 'experience' that the club is creating is fantastic and I would bet stats around arrival at the ground prove that to be the case.

The fact is that if you are simply there for 90 minutes of football then turn up in your seat 2 minutes before kick off and go and grab a beer and chat to your mates in the concourse at half time.

The innovative approach that the club are taking to make football a family experience and a day out is fantastic. Keep it up City,

Back to the topic however it would be good to know what is happening with the banners.

Those with a problem with it are the grumpy victor meldrews in our support.

The entertainment will be here to stay because the club now cater for families and children and not just those that wanna get pints and turn up with 5 mins to go to sit arms folded all night.

There's a difference between entertainment and build up -- and the sterile box ticking easy format that we are being served up now.

Of course it's either Euro Disney or whippet and flat caps to you.

I love the "Victor Meldrew" comment.

The forum equlivalent of your drunk Auntie Janet calling you "boring" because you won't dance and kick your legs in the air to "New York New York" at the end of a wedding.

I also resent the insinusation that's always trotted out in defence of this cheese that this is about "families". When I was a kid I wanted to hear the crowd sing and watch the teams warm up. I didn't need some hyped up clown "entertaining" me. "Families" don't automatically need reducing to lowest common denominator Butlin's disco revellers just because they are all in one place.

But couldn't they have nipped over the road to Asda?

They did, but there were only bulbs with bayonet fittings left but no screw-ins.

Aha, hadn't thought of that.

Call me a "dipstick" but I went to Asda to get bayonet bulbs and when I got home ............f*ckin' screw ins needed.
Doh!
