I've still not forgiven Sky for subjecting us to Sonia on an early MNF when they tried to make football a 'show'. Thankfully the SBA didn't let us down with a rendition of 'get your tits out for the lads' to completely drown her out.

Didnt we have Kris Kross too?

I'd have said going to a baseball game and seeing a nearby fan getting his nose broken attempting to catch a fly ball was great entertainment during a game. Will never happen of course.....⚾️

I can recall a rock band being put on before kick off at HR in the 70s or 80s. They got drowned out by the West End giving a huge chorus of 'What a load of rubbish'. It was an experiment that wasnt repeated.
Club should have had a ska band....

Can't stand loads of music just before kick off. Much prefer to feel the build up in the final 10 mins and the fans beginning to sing as the numbers swell. Music just kills the atmosphere .

She went off crying that night… Pete Waterman must have warned her !

Are you 100% bipolar skybluedownunder?
In the space of a couple of posts you've gone from wanting to go around firing t-shirt cannons with the Mad Hatters in your free time ('to bring the families back') to this?
10/10 for the most bizarre posting of the close season though.

King before a testimonial. 'Hooligans get em off the pitch' was the very loud shout behind me which got quite a few laughs in the Main Stand. HR and bands never seemed to work.

I'd imagine getting beaned in the face with a rolled up t-shirt going 60mph would cause some brain damage. It was very generous of him to donate his t-shirt to those poor topless girls across the road, though!

The only Entertainment I want to see is on the pitch.

Haha. I remember that too.

Can’t stand forced entertainment. Why would you turn up early for it? I’d always rather have a beer and get to my seat just before kick off. At half time, I’m busy checking scores and trying to get served.

Talking of which, I heard the Wycombe chairman talking a couole of years ago on how they’d invested in the best public WiFi they could get. Better for fans but also they’d introduced food and soft drinks delivered to your seat and the WiFi means the ordering works smoothly.

‘Entertainment’ has to be pretty lame to have a broad appeal which is why people take the piss out of it. Time is short and the only reason we go to games is for the football and to catch up with people. Anything that gets in the way of that is a waste of money and winds people up.

that's a bit of a jump from kick it for a ticket...

are we really in the tiktok endgame already where people can't survive for 15 mins without some form of entertainment feeding their eyeballs? Have a chat with the people you're sitting with!

Just think it’s fun. No need to turn it into a commentary on kids today.

It’s a really fine line. I really like the pregame video and the music can kick the crowd off, but too often it steps on the crowds toes and the guy doing it should always be being careful to back off if the crowd are already going. After QPR they were trying to play players songs to get the crowd going and interrupting the fans singing other songs to players. It really fucked things up.

WLADITT has been over done as well, trying to get it in two or three times now.

Someone needs to have a word with the guy cos he hit a nice level then just shot right past it with a bit of positive feedback.

Agreed, play it once, belt out the chorus, turn it off, kick off.

Been done. Think we had Selector playing before 1 game. Good atmosphere for that.

edited to say it was the 2 tone collective. Pauline Black was in it.

McLovin87 · May 16, 2024

I remember they used to draw out seat numbers for people to go on at half time and roll the ball into the empty net from the spot, 18 yard line, halfway between the goal line and half way line and then the half way line. I think you got something like £500 if you completed it.

There were 4 of us who went down at half time to have a beer but one of the lads went missing. As I was coming back from the toilets there was a big cheer so I ran up the steps to see what the fuss was. Our mate had just put the ball in from the spot and he placed the ball on the edge of the area, there was like a Guard of Honour each side of the 6 yard area of Sky Blue Cheerleaders.

He's took a run up and Toe Poked it straight into the face of one of the girls on his right hand side, I was absolutely pissing myself. I'm sure the there was a chant of "You're shit and you know you are! "

He came up the to the seats just after Half Time and we ripped him, he was blaming these winkle pickers that he had on, he was a bit of a mod. I said no wonder he kept it quiet that he had been picked!

Sunderland away in the Robbie Keane season - a girl band played on pitch, did a song or two. I think it was Precious?
I think they represented us at Eurovision or something?
Lost 1-0 to a don hutchison goal.
To be honest it was probably the best thing about that whole day.

We drew 1-1 at Sunderland during the Keane season. Keane scored.

Should be quite entertaining watching the stewards getting people to sit in Singers Corner next season
