David Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Pre-match music was briefly discussed at last nights Fan Forum, the club said that they are looking for feedback from fans so I've created this poll with the same questions which were asked. Get voting and drop your thoughts into this thread. If you haven't seen yet, pre match music/atmosphere discussion starts roughly 1hr 40mins in.

JoetheRam Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 No music for 10 minutes or so beforehand then after the players emerge Steve Bloomer would be my choice (or a better anthem, but being realistic that's not going to happen). General volume level is way too high. Tunes should be a mix of Motown/60's/indie/punk/post punk/ska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I would go the whole hog and shut the concourse bar 15 minutes before kick off. If there's not enough time to get beers in you, leave earlier! We need to have the fans, in the stand, getting into audible exchanges with the oppo. This should not be drowned out by music and the tannoy announcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 a couple of minuties ( and I mean 2 or 3 ) Just before and as the players come out is fine and fun, part of the ramp up to the main event as is Steve Bloomer, the 10-15 mins before people are meeting their friends, talking about the upcoming game, catching up. .. we don't need to be deafened to the point that you cant speak to the person next to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You're never going to please everyone with the music style, so there's not a lot of point trying to ask for suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I don't have issues with what's played, just the volume. Any efforts at starting chants before the match starts are utterly drowned out. I do wonder if the volume changes from place to place in the stadium? I would suggest some of the team who feed into those decisions come into the stands and experience it to see what it's like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only get there a couple of mins before the teams come out so I don't really care. Of far more importance to me is that Chiquitos employ some more bar staff so we're not 5-deep at the bar. Especially when some stupid woman orders a cocktail which takes 20 minutes to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobram Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I see commentw about It preventing an atmosphere from building but whats the excuse for the dull atmosphere when the music stops and the game kicks off ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 First question is really misleading. Do you like no music? I personally don't want music so I answered yes but I think people will ready that in a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WharfedaleRam Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Play Slayer or Metallica throughout the game to drown out the moaners in the East Stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachmyster Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 An idea for night matches to get the crowd going is the light show that hull do with the flood lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I would try stopping the music,15 mins before kick off,just to see. Players come out to an anthem,try dance,rock,metal etc.(I loved ThunderStruck) Personally I’m not keen on disrespecting Steve Bloomer and moving it. I think the club should try a range of options,it’s going to be difficult to sort out. Can we get any good ideas from abroad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when some stupid woman orders a cocktail which takes 20 minutes to make. You are quite right of course but regardless of taste or duration it seems to me that the volume is a real issue for a lot of people. there is no doubt in my mind that the volume exceeds reasonable limits to the point that it hurts ! That isn't right and my ears aren't even the best given my age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the current song they do just before the players arrive is the right one (sorry @Carl Sagan - I know it's your tune.) A bit more generally well-known anthem would be better. I like Steve Bloomer and around me in North Stand most sing it, when they don't join in with anything else (miserable gits - including my husband!) I agree that the volume needs sorting but maybe it's just louder further up in the stands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilsonram12 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The killers/guns n roses mix is good, the Steve bloomers watching on speed before the kick off is good, I wouldn’t change anything! The loud music is needed as the quiet fans don’t add to it.... ive been impressed with the fireworks before kick off vs Burton and Ipswich and the flags vs forest really built the atmosphere All in all can’t grumble, compare it to some away fixtures then grumble... we’re the black n white army!!!

David Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just to throw a suggestion out there, let the players decide the music. You will never find a signature song that a large percentage of fans agree on, it's impossible. Each game a player creates a set list of songs for the build up and walk out (maybe the last 10 songs), include a page in the match day programme with the list of tracks chosen, maybe a side interview, favourite bands, first gig, first CD bought etc. might even be able to squeeze a 2 minute RamsTV video out of it. That way not only can we boo the players performances on the pitch but song choices as well. I know what you're thinking, I'm not just a pretty face right? I know, I know.

Can they have different volumes/music in different areas. Louder more modern in the South Stand etc,play re runs of the Archers in the East Stand(I’m joking)! Do you get what I mean?
