Pre match build up music

We played right into Ipswich’s hands on Tuesday night. 15 minutes before kick off the away stand was full, & they were in party mood loving the music, whilst our stands were barely full, it didn’t feel like a home game, they were loud. Especially when the “Hey Jude” song came on, they were louder, & the players were in the tunnel! Bet it felt like an away game! It was the same against Wednesday as well.

I think we should play sombre music right up until the players are in the tunnel, then do the whole Timerider thing, but LOUDER, especially in the away end to drown out the away fans chanting.

 

Something like this?

 

Or maybe our fans turn up to the ground and replicate the atmosphere the away fans create rather than turning it back into a depressing experience? Just a thought.

The club have done a great job ramping up the atmosphere before games, it's up to the fans to turn up.

 

I don't think hey jude is the right song pre-match in all honesty. It's very easy to turn it into a chant about pretty much any team in the football league. At full time after we win, then fair enough.

 

If people want sombre music just play a Lana Del Ray album pre game.

 

'You, you it's all for you, everything you do...'

Whatsthagorron?

 

Ilkley Moor baht 'at would confuse all but fellow Yorkshiremen.

 

Leeds certainly used to sing that. Not sure if they do any more.

 

We need a proper anthem, Birmingham have ‘keep right on’ Coventry have one along similar lines., Blunts have Greasy Chip Butty song. Right folks get writing, Nothing too long perhaps 4 line verse and chorus. Nothing that can be sung too fast as the words become slurred (or is that the beer)Oh and must have the word Tarn in it.

 

Part of the problem Tuesday night was the huge queues to get in, we often rock up 5mins before kick off, in time for the build up, set off at the usual time on Tuesday and we got in just as hey Jude was ending seconds before KO. The queues outside caused by the enhanced security checks must have been hundreds long for each turnstile of the ponty just prior to kick off, the club needs to be communicating that people turn up earlier than usual due to these checks

We go in at the ponty turnstiles nearest the east stand, just before we got to the front I checked the queue and for that entrance alone it spanned all the way back past the front of the ponty ending just were the queues for the other corner are, must have been a few hundred in it. There were people trying to jump queue, some lads got into a bust up, it was all avoidable had it been run better and communicated.

Big fan of the cute sniffer dogs though

 

No checks or sniffer dogs for the East Stand......are we considered low risk or summat?

 

The acoustics in the away stand are brilliant and it's a big stand, so when it's full it will sound very loud. The best thing the club can do is put some sound deadening material in the roof to deaden the sound waves. Job done.

 

Get some Leonard Cohen on. Or how about 'Girlfriend in a coma' by the smiths? Should get everybody bouncing

 

And bit of Nick Cave thrown in

 

Time rider for me everytime, always associate it with our premier promotion season.

 

I would agree, but whoever is in charge of it for us needs to go on a choreography course because once again the timing was well out. It went on and on and the players were nowhere to be seen. Timing, timing, timing, it does mi chuffing head in.

 

Why not "You are my sunshine?". No one else sings it that I'm aware of but is often sung in the ponty?
