The Enemy at CBS (31 Viewers)

[CovveeBreak]

As someone who couldn’t make it both jealous but also delighted to hear about the reception.

I think for a lot of us old bods we need to acknowledge that the game has come a long way in the past 25+ years - and things like this - in moderation - are an exceptional way of keeping things fresh, creating value, and keeping fans engaged.

big fan of it

I really hope that video of the full CBS belting out WLADITT comes across Joy Seppala's feeds while she eats her breakfast this morning!

Dalziel messed up his bit about remembrance - obviously used last years speech and didn’t change the “84 years since the blitz” to 85.
sloppy…..

Enemy bit was quality though. I actually sang it.
But not at kick off. Just a thing with me.

 

[mmttww]

did they get the horn players from the RBL, cadets etc. to play the intro? Sounded like it from block 25. If they did, that was a brilliant touch.

It was a trumpeter with the band - presumably their own one.
don’t think it was the same guy as who played last post.

He wasnt there last night. Presume it was a pre-recorded thing used by the club

I'm the first to criticise light shows and stuff but it was done perfectly last night.

We've seen them at other grounds where it spoils the atmosphere because the speakers overpower the fans.

It felt like a real spectacle and added to the atmosphere.

The club and The Enemy did very well out of it last night.

Based on the bands media posts since last night i would not be surprised, if we did acheive promotion, that it is repeated, and some, at the end of the season

Granted, getting well ahead of myself here (proper well ahead of myself) but say we did actually end up winning, I could see the club throwing a party, festival style, like the lot up the M69 did when they won the league and they had Kasabian playing.

The Enemy
Tom Grennan
etc etc

Extra F&B revenue and would likely shift speciality merch on the day as well. No brainer actually the more I think of it.

The enemy & Tom Grennan. Worst party ever.

I’d rather have Sunny doing Jatt don’t care

The Enemy are class live

So is Grennan. Fair enough if you don't like his music but he always puts on a proper show and always does cheap tickets.

A lot of people won't get this but this might be the funniest comment I've ever seen on this forum

 

[wingy]

Rather pigskin, one of my faux Pas.

The last post was on a bugle as well

It was played on a trumpet last night, for some reason. I'm not a poppy perfectionist, but I did spot that on the telly when I was watching it.

What's the difference between a trumpet and a bugle, you ask? About £1.50 when you weigh it in for scrap.

Yes the bugle tune is controlled by the lips and pressure of the air you send through it,no keys, would that be right,we had one when we were kid's?

 

[Joy Division]

It was a recorded on a track and mimed along by the trumpeter

When he played Godiva he did a version of Sweet Caroline which was so bad it almost got all music cancelled.

Please tell me that's not true. In fairness, it didn't look like it, but then who remembers Top of the Pops.

yep, no valves unlike a trumpet which means you control the notes by how you blow air into it.

The Bugler?

Which I noticed was how the chap was playing the trumpet last night. Didn't touch the keys at all that I could see.

It will take someone who actually knows about brass instruments to tell me whether this is possible, in theory I suspect it is though...

The lack of a mic on the trumpet tells me it was on a pre-recorded track
