Might help chants grow. Without a pesky game of football to distract everyone some decent singing (from anywhere in the ground) might start to spread.Quote:

How the **** is that building atmosphere when the club is ****ing allowing some **** to kill it by playing shit noise that adds nothing to the equation??
Sure play some music 30 mins before kick off while the ground is filling up and the players are warming up but as the game draws closer **** it off and let the crowd build the atmosphere.
Not wrong on the dickhead speaking over NTUA on the mic.
So, do we all have to bombard the club with emails to get this on the agenda at the committee meeting?
If it were generally silent on the PA for the lead up to the game (other than announcement of squad etc) and the squadron got some simple stuff going, I think you would get people around involved. But as it stands, forget it because the crap drowns you out.

It's been an issue since that "eggo" dude from nxfm (I think) used to do it too.
be assured that any issues raised here will be raised by us if they arent already on the agenda
Also MR Fish any chance on an entirely safety perspective can the committee speak to the club about the length of these lanyards in the Members Pack??
The thing seems to be getting shorter and shorter every year.
You used to be able to grab hold of your membership card and wave it under the ticket scanners with ease. To do so now you are almost choked out by the lanyard squeezing your throat as you have to bend down to get the thing anywhere near it.
Am concerned also that as the thing is getting to the size of a noose that some poor sod may decide to take the easy option and neck themselves mid game just to avoid watching any more of the attempts made by the players of trying to play football
Will raise it.
Can you measure a the length of one that you felt suitable and report back.
Lanyards can have safety releases built in to stop choking, but that means you can have yours swiped from sorrounding your neck easily.
It may well be linked to the thickness of the cards.
Wouldn't it pull the back of your neck when you put it in the scanner, without taking the lanyard off or do you go for the more advanced ticketing move and put the ticket in behind your back allowing the lanyard to pull on your throat.
Either that or your heads on backwards?
Is it just me or are the scarves shorter this season?
Might ask them to raise the height of the ticket scanners to solve the lanyard issue. :)
Here's one for you guys, why is the colour of the lanyards for the matchday hospitality tickets "Coastie" Yellow? Is a disc-race.
Great. Now you've just gone and done pissed off all our dwarf supporters.Quote:

Ticket to the side of the body near your arm /shoulder as the rest of you stands poised waiting for the starters gate to open sees the thing pull on your neck.Quote:

Can you provide the measurements in units of season ticket thicket thickness?
Eg the 2009 lanyard length was the same as the height of 64.5 season tickets stacked on each other.
Here is a photo to illustrate MFKS point.

Had those extra couple of inches to get the job done.
The girls always reckon an extra couple of inches are needed to get the job done right
11/12 and 12/13
Are those "clip on/clip off" things any good for turnstile navigating?
Personally, I hate the clip on things.
The 08/09 is my go to key ring lanyard.
Actually, looking at the pic, every season we have had lanyards we have been shit. Just get rid of the things.
In theory you could press the button release the ticket to your hand deal with the ticket scanner and clip it back on and walk to your seat easily if you so desired.Quote:

They should make it elastic next year...but..Don't let it go after dealing with ticket scanner or watch for your nose!!!!Quote:

Hold the phone!
Found the solution!

Can do.
Nacho Monreal recently did a QnA on twitter and was asked " can we swap you for an actual bowl of nachos"

Send it to the club too. Not sure yet how much of the eh ends can come from the committee members ourselves. At this point they're asking for issues to go through the club.
A communication path I'd like to reverse.
Biggest issue. Besides a few the players have absolutely zero relationship with the fans.
Last night all the players except regan, Virgilli (newy boys) and Madaschi, Gallagher (new players) had the decency to walk round.
In Wellington win lose or draw all fans are invited to a post match function and it's great. They have a smaller fan base but every fan can at least say they have some form of relations with the players
Just turn up on the cafe scene early afternoon and they might shout u a lattéQuote:

I'd much rather see the players keep to themselves and concentrate on what matters which used to be playing quality football.
Issue is not whether people have so and so as a friend on Facebook or have had a chat to the players about whatever it is about those blokes actually taking on board the concept that they play for us not their pay check not their career but us. WE WILL STILL BE HERE AFTER THEY HAVE GONEQuote:

A captain who won't celebrate with the fans when he scores a bunch of blokes who need to be told to go thank the away fans and a pile of listless uninspiring displays from blokes who appear to not give a flying **** about their fans at all.
Until these blokes get it through their heads that this is important then no amount of fan interaction at post game functions will do shit
Biggest issue I have here is the NEWY Boys in the squad. They are the ones who are the longest serving at the club as we rid ourselves of half a squad every season and they are the ones who should GET what it is that we feel. They are not driving the culture at the club strongly enough so the rest of the non Newy born and bred players GET IT.
Hell get this sorted and we may actually have 11 blokes inspired enough to win a game Versus the Gypos FFS
Asking employees to have the same passion for their jobs as fans do for their respective clubs is going too far.
It's this sort of thing that will drive an even bigger wedge between the players and the fans.
