    Unbelievably shocking. Like something from Phoenix nights! Do lindleys provide the entertainment as a way of forcing people into the stands to then buy their produce? It's the only reason I can think of for it being so bad.

    Scoreboard\big screen wIth sky sports news or final score on or something would be ideal.

    It completely drowned out the commentary HT analysis, sounded horrid. I'd rather have a bit of quiet to chat about the match, moan etc.

    Well based on about 6000 estimate season ticket holders that roughly 8000 12.50 paying fans so that's 100k. I know there's outlays for fireworks and clowns and stuff but today would have gone to at least half the scoreboard.

    We had a brass band playing 15ft in front of us. Was looking forward to it as well. But couldn't hear a thing for the bloody Crazy Frog song etc.. Wtf were they playing music over the PA system for at half time. And why so loud?
    **** up in a brewery sprang to mind.

    Completely agree, we are totally inept at times. Let's have a brass band and play Euro techno rave over the top and prat around so much that we have to announce the half time draw winner 10 minutes in to the second half. Luckily we're better at playing football this season than providing a match day experience

    Felt really sorry for the brass band, they must have been fairly peeved.

    Never understood why they blare out Justin Bieber and One Direction crap, and Crazy Frog took the biscuit today. A football match is a gathering of thousands of middle-aged men, not a 9 year-old girls' birthday party!
