The music 10 minutes before the start is just too loud. We don’t need to be outsung by their speakers. Let’s hear more of the crowd singing instead

What was needed was an improvement in the audio quality not volume.

Can't quite work out why they've netted off the first few rows of one of the away blocks but not bothered with the other away blocks.

Improve yes. Stifle the crowd noise…No.


turning the volume up doesn’t fix a crap speaker! FWIW, the sound coming out of them is crisp and better than last season.

Highly overrated.
Bowers and Wilkins are a step up from them.

The pre-game mix used to be brilliant. All the Cov songs in one.

They've tried changing it up in the past 12 months and it doesn't really work.

Should try Sunshine on Leith.
Yes, I know, nowt to do with us, but I do love hearing the Hibs fans belting it out.

The concourse was the best I’ve seen pre match at the CBS . Loving block 11 and the atmosphere I think is better than singers corner

Its all one thing, it was a wall of noise from 10-18 at least. The Sky commentator asked the Oxford manager how his players coped in a ‘cauldron’ like this

Looked in the customer charter it doesn’t mention anything
I’d be content for them with safeguarding responsibilities to refuse u14 without an adult but I don’t know what age that would stop
Will definitely ask and put it on here
Click to expand...
Season Tickets terms and conditions says U-14 must be accompanied by an adult. No mention of any issue with U-18s which is the category for a 15 year old as far as I can see.

The world has changed though hasn’t it and is not always safe and parents aren’t absented from their responsibilities when someone enters a football stadium. Pretty sure u14 there are strict accompanying rules above that no so sure

First game, I ever went to ground entirely on my own was when I was 12 against Man Utd. I met a friend inside. West End taken over by Man Utd so had to find a spot in Sky Blue Terrace.
Used to go to school by myself at around 7 or 8 years old.
A different world these days.

I would have been 12 when I started going. Used to get the bus into town in the morning and go to Cov baths, then chips at Fishy Moores before walking up to the ground. Would walk back into town after the game and get the bus home.

Be out the house from probably 9am until about 7pm, assuming I actually went straight home and not to a mates. No phones in those days and can't remember my parents being in any way concerned something might happen.

I really liked the new player videos on the big screen last night. Far better than the still images from last season.

Simms playing an air guitar cracked me on his up as well

They start it as soon as the team is read out. If they started it earlier you’d just have John Dalziel reading the players names over it

I think it's good as it is. Doesn't overstay it's welcome and the match pritty much kicks off as it ends. No need for it to drone on for a couple of extra minutes.

That’s because Sky devote a whole section of the coverage to their favourite group of fans.

Normal clubs like ours aren’t afforded that privilege.

Sky, the FA, and the EFL will expect us to kick off at a set time.

I’ve often thought if we actually walked out to the trumpets/cornets bit at the start it’d work quite well. Quiet enough and doesn’t get you engaged straight away to stop chanting and start singing along. Then obviously it kicks up.

Anything close to 14/15 should do you, though from the sounds of it anything from 10 up is good.
