You know, where they do the cameras across fans and get them to wave with the music on. Used to be called fanzone. Not sure if it still is, didn’t hear the announcement today as I was chatting.

Whatever it’s called, bin it off. Tacky as f***.

And while we’re at it - WTF is the point of that ‘light show’. It is so unbelievably pointless and shite.

The ‘light show’ at evening matches at The Goldstone was when they left the lights on in the West stand roof girders for the first five minutes after kick off.

As a nipper on the East terrace, I was mesmerised - watching the bobbing orange glow from cigar tips, followed by plumes of blue smoke drifting in the wind across silhouetted heads.

Simpler times

It's for children. They like it.

If it bothers you that much, stay in the concourse and have another pint.

I'll add to your memory...
The smell of the matchday programs and listening to the match reports on someone's transistor radio, on way back home by train :)

Unfortunately it’s a sign of the times, care less and less about the fans in the ground and more for how it looks on the TV.

I think we should have cheerleaders.

1990s tacky displays by dancing girls seems to still work for that lot up the road.
