Free wifi would be excellent. Good shout that, Torch.
If there was free wifi they could then get fans to vote for their MOTM during the game, as it draws to the close. Open lines on say 80 mins and maybe have a raffle prize drawn from all the numbers who voted. A signed shirt or something.
Might get people staying in their seats a while longer and not leaving on 75 minutes.
This thread has been quite worrying quickly reading through it.
Some of you need to take a look at yourselves, but others have good suggestions ie former games being screened at H/T would be good.
Flags balloons etc might be me sounding mean, but nah your alright want that go and watch the franchise.
Others have mentioned players signing autographs, I am sure the family zone has had players on several occasions doing this last season.
Suppose it is good the club have posed the question though, weather they act on anything is a different matter.

Thank god this thread is back on track despite the best efforts of the neg-heads
Indeed.
What would we rather, people at least trying to think of or suggest something, even though it might be a little daft, or people not suggesting anything at all, cause they know people on here will be jumping all over it and making a mockery?
I, myself, appreciate anyone at least trying to think of something, whatever that may be.
From the daft ideas will form some great ones!
Agreed. I must admit I found having to defend myself for daring to make a few suggestions rather deflating yesterday. It turned into hard work!
It was. Very disappointing that people felt the need to be so negative and diss stuff out of hand.
The way I see it is, yes, someone might have thought of fairground rides, but we all know that is totally impractical, but from that someone could then come up with this. .....
Which could well work in the kids zone.
That's the thing though Otis, I don't remember anyone mentioning 'rides' as a serious suggestion but next thing you know I am being accused of suggesting Waltzers n shit!
I posted a similar picture to yours and it was called a 'monstrosity' I reckon if you put one of those inside the ground the kids wouldn't get near it for the grown men!

*sky blue identity, we need to be more like Borussia Dortmund with their “yellow wall”. Have sky blue flags or plackards(whichever is cheaper) available on seats so we look like a sea of sky blue. The only time ricoh has ever felt like home was when we played Chelsea in fa cup and we had flags,signs or confetti everywhere.
*BETTER music. Come to out to truly monumental music, be it movie sound tracks or war music. We need to stop being push overs to the opposition.
*pictures of legends hung up inside,can be taken down after to avoid issue with wasps games
*get rid of JD on the mic. Have some ball skill freestylers out for half time. Or bring back kick for cash
So we're still on for Monkey Butlers then?
On a serious note and back on topic, something that racecourses up and down the UK have done in recent years, is bring music acts into their courses after an evenings racing. Goodwood, one my local tracks, has 3 evening meetings every June, on 3 consecutive Friday nights. In the past 5 years, they've booked DJs/Dance Acts such as Mike Skinner, Zane Lowe, Idris Elba etc etc to play after racing has finished. Given the nature of the course and their facilities, it doesn't require ample staging and could be something done in the Jag Hall or car parks at the Ricoh.
Probably the worst suggestion on here but I've not really thought it through. Just an idea though if Fisher etc wants to work on it. Cheers.
I remember when Sky first started they used to have acts on before a game. The first time we were on I think was away at Forest, we were there and those little kids who used to wear their jeans on back to front were on. Absolute rubbish.
I remember Kris Kross at HR!

Bands have been on at the Ricoh too, one not long ago near the away fans in that space. Was awful, nobody paid any attention.
Get Billy Bell in to MC every game, I'd be happy with just that to be honest.

I thought our first Sky game was at home to Spurs, with Sonia as the "entertainment" together with skydivers and fireworks.
1-0 win, with John "he's so fast it's unbelievable" Williams scoring.

Correct.
Going back further didn't Jimmy Hill introduce various bits of pre match entertainment in the 60s?
It was just before my time, but I remember reading about marching bands, RAF dog teams and other such "gimmicks".
