Ockery and urns?

One question for the first meeting.

The pregame music. If NTUA is ever going to get traction, it needs to be when the players walk on the pitch, not a few minutes before when nothing is happening.

So many people in our area Bay 55 were openly questioning what the Jets were trying to achieve with the music they were playing when the players walked on, up until kick off. That stuff needs to go, replace it with NTUA.

I'll send that to the Jets as well.

I think the 'hype guy' on the mic should talk over it a bit more. There was a bit there where you could actually hear the song.

The whole pre match experience went downhill when they stopped playing Nero.

Whoever the person was who hired the Hype Guy needs firing cause they have NFI at all. Whoever hired the kids to try and dance should also be fired cause they have No ****ing idea.

The only thing that should be played in the last 20 mins pre kick off is NTUA. Other than that this period should be complete quiet from the PA bloke and allow the fans fire themselves up. Let the silence make the noise grow

[GazFish35]

let the silence make the noise grow

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.

Precisely. Works elsewhere in the world quite well.

The shit blasting out of the speakers is a ****ing disgrace.
NTUA had just finished Bay 60 started up something else and was drowned out by complete shit noise that no **** wants to hear anyway.
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.

[sammydog]

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.

Email away I reckon.
It's how the club has asked for initial submissions, and that "game day" atmosphere is one thing they want feedback on.

It's been an issue since that "eggo" dude from nxfm (I think) used to do it too.

[furns]

be assured that any issues raised here will be raised by us if they arent already on the agenda

[MFKS]

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

[GazFish35]

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.

[sammydog]

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?

[GazFish35]

Might ask them to raise the height of the ticket scanners to solve the lanyard issue.

[Thomas477]

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.
Expect a letter in the mail.

We can have a range of heights on the turnstiles. Line up tallest to shortest etc etc.

Oops!

Then next week smallest to shortest.

Maybe it matches the cocktail sauce on the prawn sandwiches.

But I take your point, there shouldn't be any yellow anywhere.
I've heard that WSW office staff won't let people in the front door if they are wearing sky blue.

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.




Actually Mr Fish I have been stockpiling my lanyards in a draw at home so should be able to dig them out and do some research on this pressing issue before anyone dies and measure the length

[GazFish35]

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.

[sammydog]

Here is a photo to illustrate MFKS point.
