the match day experience (1 Viewer)

[AOM]

Kick it for a ticket was often the best football on display in our League Two days

 

[HJones23]

We really need to bring back the sky blue medley before kick off. Country roads, just can't get enough, etc

Post match was weird as well. No music for a few minutes then stuck on a generic stereophonics songs - much better when they played the players song to give us something to sing along to

The second blast of We live and die ruins it, just end it after the first chorus. job done.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Half time is purely transactional, I need refreshments, a piss and a good HT chat with my mates, that’s all.

No stupid Americanised HT gimmicks.

I want a stupid game on the pitch.

Bristol city the roll cider apples, I remember blues used to try and boot a ball into a shed.

Kick it for a ticket is too tame but some wacky races shit on the pitch will do me.

0 engagement from me but I'm not exactly the target audience - I did like watching kick it for a ticket as a young boy.

You're still a young lad, you've got your whole life ahead of you.

Agreed, as well as the chopping up of the song so no one knows when to start singing. I swear it's a different start to the song every time.

Just play the full version so the crowd can enjoy the build up rather than rushing it, if it goes through the start of the game then no problem.

Pompey had a penalty competition where the contestant had to score a penalty into an empty net. The twist being the contestant had to run around a cone multiple times before doing so…watching people dizzy as fuck trying to score a penalty was actually the best thing I’ve ever seen.

Lets roll back the PL years and get the Crew Girls back.

Pretty sure I remember a motorcycle display team ( pyramid of passengers) churning up the Highfield Road pitch. Perhaps we could get a group of local illegal E Bikers in balaclavas winding up the away fans at half time?

Only if we can see them doing the formation and then one of the little chavs taking a drugs call as they all collapse in a heap.

KIFAT isn’t Americanised. Celebrating the completely shite is as British as it gets.

I remember a video circulating years ago (I wanna say Plymouth or Bristol?) where they got 1 home and 1 away fan on the pitch for a sprint race. The away fan tripped the home fan and won to a chorus of boo's from the home crowd. Was pretty funny tbf and a good bit of panto villain drama. Ill see if I can find the video....


Found it, it was actually a Sunderland fan at the SoL tripped the away fan. Still funny.

They don’t understand this. It bugs me.

I was at Blackburn in the late 90s and at HT they had a penalty competition between a Blackburn & Coventry fan which the Coventry fan won, his mate ran onto the pitch to celebrate with him and I'm sure he was stopped by the stewards & chucked out of the ground.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

At Australian cricket grounds they used to play a game called “Chase The Sheila” during the lunch break. Sure they were doing this well into the 21st Century!

Wasn't it Kick It For A Contract in them days?

 

[robbiethemole]

Remember the 'kick it into the back of a pick-up truck' in front of Singers corner?? that was well wierd

 

[Perryccfc]

I understand people saying why do people care, but I genuinely felt it impacted the whole experience. The pre match medley we had was so good, both fan bases would bounce off it. Last night was so flat pre kick off for what was an incredible game. And then at FT there was 30 seconds of nothing before someone realised. They have now messed up EMC player announcement twice, no HT entertainment. The announcer last night sounded like his cat had just died. I know we’re all there for the footy, and as a product it’s the best it’s been in 25+ years. But these are quick wins I think the club should be quickly looking to address.

 

[MTK]

Assume we are paying a good amount of money to Legends Global for the match day experience. They must be focusing on the hospitality side because there’s little to no fan experience for most of us is there? It was much better last season.

 

[M&B Stand]

The Skyblue Belles?

Imagine them now? They were rough even in their prime a couple of em

Didn’t say it was. The comment the stuff described (below) is usually some Americanised nonsense like this:

[wingy]

Omg for the life of me I cannot figure out what the fucking POINT is of having the match happening right in front of our faces broadcast onto the scoreboard with a two second delay at the expense of the two XIs. It makes no fucking sense to me whatsoever

Hooked on media

Corporate not really aware of our preferences.

first time on Monday where away fans were queuing in line with cov fans

Hardly any police or stewards luckily no trouble but far from ideal

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

Like a lot of things nowadays, looking flash and professional is prioritised over humanity and authenticity

Its the same with the signings videos we had over the summer

It's really not hard - just play some bangers and have someone who cares doing the announcements

We walked down by their coaches and then past the away end to join the queues to get into the South Stand and have to admit it felt a bit bizarre being stood about 20 feet away from them with only 1 or 2 Old Bill around.

Obviously, a good thing and shows how the game has changed but you do wonder if that was a Man United or a Leeds or the like whether it’s just inviting trouble (but then it probably would be policed differently).

Also, hospitality wise I came down just as the half time whistle blew and there was literally no queue to get a pint!! I actually thought the bar had ran out of beer it was that empty!

I think it’s the first time ever I’ve not gone down early, managed to get a pint, drink it, have a piss and be back in the stand just as the second half kicked off!

Just wondering? We walk past the away supporters every home game as we move towards the East Stand having walked over the bridge. Fans come from all directions without people being reactive when they end up in the same area as away fans. This includes going under the railway bridge. No issues at all.

Surely pre-match routines are far more laid back nowadays? I go into club shops at away matches and there is absolutely no issue with being an opposition supporter.

To me there is more likely to be an issue after the match. Such as when gobby villa fans were near the roundabout a few weeks back. I didn’t see an escalation but then I wasn’t bothered about ‘banter’.

You mean that people were normal.

All valid points and it’s probably an antiquated mentality but it just feels that if a few nob heads, from either side, started mouthing off or playing up it could escalate extremely quickly with little to no security presence to quell it.

Sonya. The ten pin skittle. The girls from the casino in kifat

 

[Legionairre]

what is normal?

All it takes is one person to say something, chant something and we know football herd mentality

If their is trouble very little to no team to stop the situation escalating

 

[Shannerz]

what is normal?

Not wanting to have grief with someone because they support a different football team from you.

That's normal. Anything else is moronic.

 

[King Dougs Quiff]

Remember at Highfield Rd late 90s, one half time there was about 20 dif things going on, cheerleaders, martial arts, boxing, few games of 5-a-side, couple of jags on the side of the pitch etc.

On another note, im still owed a £5 Isle of Capri Voucher from doing the kick for cash boxing day 2007!
