I understand that the band were brought in to bring some more atmosphere to the game and encourage the crowd but it was just a racket which extinguished any kind of atmosphere.

Had they done the drum beats to 'black and white army' or the 'fish' song or trumpeted to songs for fans to sing to this would help more rather than drown out the little atmosphere us fams are providing at the moment.

With little to cheer about on the pitch we need to provide something to get fans back on side

Utm


i dont think its fair to say it was a racket....it was just unwelcome.

Of course you can. It is whether you want to join in or not. Everybody I was with or next to in the pontoon seemed to be enjoying it - especially the kids.

The club can't win really - do nothing and it is like a library and try something and people don't like it. Yes we do get atmosphere when everything is going well and we are scoring goals for fun but we are not - hence the band was a good idea.


Ok then, i will re-phrase. You can manufacture an atmosphere, but it will be just that- manufactured.

A proper spontaneous atmosphere will only come about if there is a buzz about the club and team. You cannot manufacture that and you never will, even with all the drums and trumpets you can muster. The football is lifeless and the crowd reflect that. Even the near full house against Lincoln was tepid.

The band at the Lincoln game would have been a good idea then.

The supporters paid for a band at Barnet. The club do it for nothing and get vilified. Anything which drums up a bit of atmosphere can't be bad!

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 aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

The band at Barnet was an actual "band" rather than just a load of drummers.

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’.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Ignore Rob. He’s doing his best David Burns impression in order to stir up debate on here.

The real issue should be why we had to endure the drag act at half time. We get it - there are gay and trans people. We don’t need educating on it because they are all over our tellys and papers. It’s normal. Stop forcing inclusion on us. They felt so included they copulated off once they were done ffs!
