Themed matches

[Eksman]

Can I suggest wet flannel day ?

Maybe not

We would all have to dress up as that mod edna krabappel then

 

[withdeanwombat]

How about a" play it on the advertised night" night, so that those who bothered to buy tickets in advance could actually attend ?

Sky and Barber out !

Following on from the Spanish Day and now Fright Night, do you like the idea of themed matches? Poll to follow.

And also if so what other themes would you like to see?

I would like to see England Day on 21st or 26th of April, the closest home matches to St Georges Day. Bet they won't be brave enough to do it though.

This. Petition to the club?

 

[Gazwag]

Themed matches are so "new football" it makes me want to puke.

I would rather vomit up my own intestines and hang myself with them, than turn up in fancy dress every game.

That's the perfect look for fright night

 

[BN9 BHA]

Wait, Fright Night is real? I thought it was an ENREST spoof.

So did i

So did i

Me too!

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

Indeed that is why they won't be brave enough to do it, BUT they really should. We are English and we should be proud of it. Now thinking of Hugh Grant's speech in Love Actually......

I think we should just turn up half cut, gobble a couple of pies, shout random abuse at the ref, queue politely for the bus, then go home and have a ruby. That would be a good English Day.

Oh wait...

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Me too!

And me!

 

[Hillian1]

And me!

Add another to the "I thought this was an Ernest wind up" gang.

What, the ones who pay about a hundred quid (?) for a season?

They're hardly being ripped off, are they?

Would probably cost you more than that to take them swimming or the cinema twenty three times.

No but those over tens who have to pay up to £315 per season could be a little upset.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Spanish Day was fantastic, let's do another one of those next season.


Not sure we need too many in a year but perhaps a Polish day for TK, where they can supply loads of Zywiec for us to enjoy.

This!

After Fright Night...

how about Gay Day?

 

[Eksman]

After Fright Night...

how about Gay Day?

Yes but if anyone says "gay" then we have to report it instantly to the stewards

My over ten (under when I renewed, but over by the first match so not sat in a cheap seat!) doesn't give a sh*t about how much his ticket or anyone else's cost. But then he's 10 years old and pays for f*ck all on match days, the tight wad!

 

[Randsta]

I dont get involved but I like it ...FFS it adds a bit of fun, and we need that the way the team has been playing

I do understand this and there must be many kids just like your son who get everything paid for, but I am sure there must be youngsters out there who do paper rounds or other jobs either to pay for their ticket in full or at least subsidise it to the tune of up to £315 per season. How do they feel about youngsters getting in for around £13 less? Perhaps the club should give those youngsters vouchers for the balance to spend in the club shop.

 

[Quinney]

quite right.

Really guys?? Why not?

Nobody says you have to and I'm sure 99% of the N stand will dress exactly as they would for any other match, but engaging youngsters means long term income for the club and if that means that 1% of people in the stand (and 100% of those appearing on fanzone) are dressed up, who the f*ck cares (but the 1%).

Anyone who brings their kids to matches knows that things like this, fanzone, gully's girls (may they rest in peace), etc all contribute to the experience for them. The bragging rights at school on monday after appearing on fanzone on sat are not to be ignored amongst the pre-teens. And if all they talk about on monday morning is BHA and the Amex, then their friends learn that Chelski and ManU are not the teams to follow and a little pester-power later and little johnny and his dad are spending money at the Amex on a saturday.

Don't want to dress up, then don't. But don't begrudge the club for trying to ensure that you have a home on a saturday afternoon for many more years to come and that the dark days are long behind us.

Beer Festival Day. Massive marque on the field next to the stadium (those playing fields) with a full beer festival underway in there before and after the game.

Jesus christ, 71% of people SERIOUSLY are incredibly precious.

Its for KIDS. Maybe they should tailor it to kids a bit more though as idiots clearly dont know this

On the subject of embarrassing things, that gay "rainbow" flag (or whatever the PC name for it is) held up in the East Stand the last few games is incredibly embarrassing. Sure were in a city which promotes equality, but plenty of other cities do that - cant see them with a gay flag, just a target for the abuse which people just scream for a policeman over.

This. Completely unnecessary.

joking aside... to be honest, I'm not that concerned. I pay a certain price to be guaranteed a seat (and the same seats) week in week out. Were circumstances different and attending matches an ad hoc type of thing, then I'd be very happy to be paying a £1 to bring him with me but missing out on a crucial cup tie or a sold play off game because I'd opted for cheap seats during the season wouldn't be worth it!
