[Football] The Cardboard Cut Out Fan- Albion & Newcastle United Said To Be In Favour.

[Insel affe]

It’s for season tickets or members only, and to ask for £20 is a bit steep in my eyes.

Will they allow flags to be laid out in the north stand, like in Germany.

If someone had said to me in January that we'd be playing Arsenal at 3pm on a Saturday at home in June with cardboard cutouts
in my seat in WSU and muffled crowd noises, I'd have expected men in white coats to arrive very quickly and take them
away. As for cardboard cutouts per se, what a ******g waste of time and energy.

 

[Driver8]

No, I'm still none the wiser. Enlighten me?

I assume because cardboard and rain don’t mix well.

So are they seriously proposing to fill the upper tiers, which barely feature in TV coverage, and leave the lower tiers, which DO feature, empty?

WTAF?

No.

Seats in the lower tiers, as with all other Premier League grounds in the next couple of months, will be covered and feature league-wide branding.

What is the difference between cardboard cutout, tinpot and plastics?

 

[bhafc99]

No.

Ah. Didn't know that. Now it makes sense. Thanks!

 

[Birdie Boy]

It doesn't make sense really, as TV does not show the upper tiers during the match very often. What's the point?

Environmentally unfriendly and a prime example of excessive waste in a cash-rich business where money always has the overriding emphasis.

It's a [big fat] "no" from me ....

 

[sparkie]

What a waste of money !

B-Leverkusen are by the sounds of it pumping in muffled crowd noise, it kinda works.
Far better than the silence and feel of a training session.

BT are going to do this and Sky set to do it also. Certainly makes it so much more watchable.

The cut outs , looks better than seats but no point if upper tier only

Well it's an interesting cut-away (no pun intended) for the cameras.

 

[Lethargic]

It a no from me just maintains the circus that is the premier league, the only way I'm in is if all cutouts are Hiney art.

Ask yourself how many times a ball gets whacked into the crowd in a normal game?

 

[SeagullinExile]

Or footballs constantly knocking them over?

Good point, especially with our strikers.

 

[AlbionBro]

This idea just seems to Peter Crouch to me!

Not many in the upper tiers.

This, and crowd noise on TV, has already been happening in Rugby League here. Much better than expected. The fans and noise that is, the sport was still shit.

I watched Dortmund versus Hertha BSC this afternoon....the crowd noise was much much better than expected. They even had whistles in the 3rd minute of extra time when it was 1-0.

Let’s hope our fake sound feed isn’t managed by the teenage girl that seems to look after the twitter account (judging by the emojis etc) then.........
