Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

The band should be band.

My suggestions for making a better atmosphere:

Win some games.
Score some goals.

Quoted from barralad


They couldn't provide what was needed to get songs going which after all is pretty basic but they could certainly play their instruments. If for example they'd been playing at half time only I'd have enjoyed it.


The other drum/samba outfits that have appeared previously have all received a complimentary round of applause during their half time performances, nothing more than that....the one band that had an actual full on traditional drum kit/ drummer set up on the stairway probably got the biggest cheer/applause out of all to date...but i just dont understand how or  know why/who thought it would be a good idea to slap them in the Ponny during a game ?!?
They either completely drowned out any chanting killing off any attempts from the crowd or just started randomly playing samba beats at weird times.
Maybe the "club" thought cos we had a mariachi band this would be a welcome addition....looks to have gone down universally like a sh!t sandwich.  

I also hope they all had to pay for their seats and werent given freebies.

Quoted from KingstonMariner
The band at Barnet sprung out of a spontaneous reaction. It came from the fans. That’s why it was successful. Top down ‘atmosphere ‘ doesn’t work.

If you like that sort of thing you’d be watching American ‘football’.


Where do you think furry dressed up mascots come from? Hardened fans may not like imposed entertainment but it draws in new and occasional supporters and it's popular with families. When we eventually move to a new ground hopefully we will attract thousands of new supporters, partly with better facilitiities, partly with more entertainment. We might as well start now in a small way, like we have done with the new scorebaord. You may scoff at all this stuff, but more bums on seats means more money to pay for players.

That’s a bit radical isn’t it!
