The Barberettes / Gully girls

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I find the whole notion of Gully's Girls a little bit seedy to be honest. You have girls who look as young as 16 being seen as a sex object by a load of middle aged men. If that's not seedy I don't know what is. Not withstanding the fact that most are over weight and can't dance. Its just all a bit amateurish

I wonder if it has got anything to do with recent news events and a football stadium filled with middle aged men isn't the right place for teenagers to be ogled at ?

This is what we need

The Ohio State University Marching Band - TBDBITL Halftime 10-6-12 Video games Nebraska - YouTube

If you gonna go all americanised with bloody cheerleaders etc... might as well go the whole hog!!!

The problem with street dancing is that it needs the right scale of arena to have its impact - and, maybe, decent lighting effects. Ideally, it needs a street.

It may be called street dancing but no-one dances like that in the street. Its natural home is in a dance studio with mirrors.

to be honest i would rather see them sack it off all together. its embarrassing and out dated. do we even need half time entertainment? i would rather see them do a few more of those player interview videos they've played pre-match on the big screens.

Gullys girls have supported our fund raising events in the past I think they should get help to improve the standards of cheer leading and build on what they been achiving.

 

[PsychoPaul]

Do they charge for it like they do when they're working?

lol

I remember being up in Brum, for a cricket cup-final, and finding a superb group of street dancers from Leeds who had been commissioned by the Bull Ring to put on performances in the street. Roz took a load of photos, but I can't find them. In the street, surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd of shoppers, was exactly the right place for the performance - far better than in a dance studio, surrounded by dance enthusiasts.

Bring Back Gully's Girls.....please

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Watching cheerleaders really isn't my thing, much prefer watching the TV and drinking in the bar - but I guess this is disappointing for those that like them.

It sounds like the new lot are poor, but time will tell.

I'm sure I remember the marching band at the Goldstone when I was a kid, could do a lot worse than get them back.

PLEASE do not SLAG the male DANCERS off as I am one of THEM

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I missed it, but I think the whole concept of dancers is shite unless they're bloody good.

My vote. DRUM CORE. That way they could play along with fanzone and add to the experience.

Is 'Ernest' appearing tonight in his extra tight leather shorts

Ridiculous to suddenly change things with no care to the youngsters in the crowd , no warnings , no announcement just the usual ' f~*k ' what the terrace fodder think !!!........ get ready for even more changes no doubt on the way. I am not a fan of cheerleaders at the footy but this has been handled badly for those who do and for those involved in Gully's Girls.

It was done BY those involved in Gully's Girls.

It was done BY those involved in Gully's Girls.

For that part I stand corrected.

 

[The Large One]

So... has no-one has sought to ascertain WHY this was done?

Well, I have. But has anyone else?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

The old boy beside me in the family stand looked very disappointed at the new offering from the dance troop. Gully's Girls were the highlight of his Amex visits.

 

[AZ Gull]

Has anyone asked anyone at the club as to the reason(s) behind all this change, and who had to implement them?

Just curious, like.

So... has no-one has sought to ascertain WHY this was done?

Well, I have. But has anyone else?

You're dying to tell us something TLO so why don't you just spill the beans?
