Boycie Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 What would you like to see the club do more of, or less of before, at halftime and after the game? Some say lose the music. Some say close the bars earlier, maybe keep the bars open afterwards? Have displays at halftime? Live music in the fans tent? What do you think would enhance the match day experience? What about a flags amnesty day, where you bring all the flags you’ve nicked over the years back and wave them at the match? ? No doubt the club will see this, so fire away.

uttoxram75 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Stop the tannoy chap trying to big up the atmosphere and turn the sound down 5 mins before the players come out. Its killing the chance of songs starting up pre-match. Its enough to make you stay in the pub as late as possible...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree it's up to the fans to make the noise as the players run out onto the pitch not a bloody p.a system, also think if we had a happy hour between 1.15 and 2.15 before the game started , at 2 pound a pint it would encourage fans to come to the ground early, and get to there seats 15 minutes before the game, and start to get the atmosphere going before the team's came out onto the pitch.

It depends what your looking for really, i get to the match just before kick off, I go outside for a pint at half time, I get to my seat just before the second half starts or sometimes after so I miss all of the flag waving, half time shows, ball boys being booed onto the pitch. So the only thing I could ask for more of is more Derby goals in the first half and more in the second, if anybody can make that happen that would be great. Cheers.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I thought the stewarding in the north stand on Saturday needed seriously looking at. There was a Sheff Weds fan in the stand literally punching older Derby fans, it happened on two separate occasions and at no point was a steward anywhere to be seen (except by the pitch protecting the players). The Sheff Wednesday fan remained in the stand for the whole game. I have emailed DCFC fans liaison as I would like to be sure taking my new son to the match is a wise idea and not heard anything since Sunday.

Gritstone Ram Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I just want to watch a good game of football and hopefully we win. Have a couple of decent pints before the game and go home with at least something to talk about. I suppose the club could look at what technology is available and have some kind of thing that your mobile phone can link to via Bluetooth when in the ground which could give you team news a few stats etc. Everyone has their head in a phone before the game. Stick a few adverts in for a bit of revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dozen of 18 year olds with less enthusiasm than Chris Martin when he sees a long ball. It was crap. Almost depressing.

Angry Ram Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I know, we can stop playing the same old teams week in, week out (I am so bored of this league), play some big clubs.. Be mildly competitived let fans be fans. We don't have to manufacture anything apart from a decent team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I like a bit of half time entertainment - like those big puppets we had a few years ago. Also like silly competitions like shooting from half way line, those guys racing in the big plastic globes - best if a Derby fan v opposition. At Bristol away they had a 'Play your cards right' game on the big screen at half time "Higher! Lower!" that got the crowd involved. I thought the walking football was ok too with the jokey commentary. Pre match music is too loud but I am not convinced we would get any noise from elsewhere if it wasn't on. South Stand is very sparsely populated until 5 minutes before kick off. Personally think the club needs to work with a small group of fans (not the usual foul mouthed gobbies) to create a short play list with lyrics that are actually in support of the team. That Brightside song is catchy but the lyrics have nothing to do with football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Surely the answer is to stop the bars serving drinks 15 minutes before kick off to get fans to go seats earlier? But that would be a loss of revenue and can you imagine being told you're not going to get served a pint at 14.46. Fights would break out in the concourses!

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 The speaker volume needs cranking down somewhat...I appreciate we have a new speaker system but it's turned up to 11 and so distorts badly and I can't even hear what's being said as a result.... The bar areas need extending and more staff would help too...plus it might be useful if some of them had any comprehension of English and had some training . More toilets. Everything else is pretty much spot on as far as I'm concerned...I love my match day experience!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doodle Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Pre match , I dislike being told to sing/ wave a flag etc at 140 decibels. It sounds a bit lame too. Atmosphere should be a organic, spontaneous affair and not orchestrated. Half time is for a wee, catch up with scores and grab a beer if time. Personally not fussed about HT entertainment. If you want people back on time after HT then get more people serving ( the people with beer back packs speed things up), also stop serving tea and coffee, not needed at football and takes server too long to deliver ( stop being selfish and drink beer ?) After match a brief mutual appreciation between players and fans is enough for me. If we get 90 mins of good entertainment during the match I’m happy with that, don’t need to enhance it further.

Alph Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 And @Duracell is spot on with his "c'mon guys, keep those flags waving" rant. The motivational speech makes me cringe and not want to take part. Feel embarrassed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
