I used to like that Woo-hoo (5 to 6 seconds from a Blur song I think) straight after a Boro goal - played in the late 1990s. Can someone help me out.

For the big games in particular, just let the atmosphere build organically.
More than once the crowd noise/singing has been killed off in the build up prior to kickoff by very loud playlists.

That seems to be nature in the entertainment/service industry these days. Everyone has an idea. Bad recruitment, nothing else

I'd rather have an unenthusiastic bloke than an enthusiastic sex trafficker

I think I would rather have every sex trafficker be less enthusiastic about their trade also.

Personally i don't like the light show. It's far too Americanized and a departure from traditional English football atmosphere. When it's done with music it prevents the natural atmosphere from building particularly immediately before the game. If a light show has to be shown can it be done 20 minutes before kick off, so a natural atmosphere can build in the stands?

I'd also add that it's great to see the club responding to suggestions and becoming a bit more adaptable. That hasn't always been the case.

John has been sent this thread to read.
He found some interesting ideas here - though we should point out it is several years and never in John's time that "goal music" has been played,

The Big Screen will be utilised much more this season - one of the tasks of the new marketing manager/
Gary P will be coming inside as well as outside the stadium - but he wants to strike a balance and they do not want to drown out the fans and want to work with us.
Big matches - it has now become accepted for the fans to build the atmosphere without PA build up/
12th man as well as Red Faction have plans for Saturday - there will be flags available to use in North Stand - contact Red Faction for details.

Different kick off times - should mean different routines, if that is possible - but maybe more call for people staying behind in the stadium/fanzone after a 12.30 kick off.
Idea that each match needs a fresh approach depending on opposition, kick off time, day of the week, prevailing weather and the result (for after match).

The PA will be adjusted from Saturday;s quiet show.

To encourage fans to stay in fan zone, both before and after the game, is it possible to get a big screen up showing the early KO’s outside the ground rather than in the concourse, and show the scores coming through on Soccer Saturday / BBC after the game?

I have seen this at other grounds, notably Reading, and encourages supporters to relax and have a drink / bite to eat while the majority of the crowd disperse.

reading the teams out helps fans with a visual impairment.

The game doesn't
