[Football] What did you make of the Southampton pre-game light show?

[NorthLainer]

I thought I'd turn up to a revamped open air recording of Gladiators or something similar, instead of a football match. And how come Southampton didn't come out to "When the Saints..."? Missed a trick I felt.

I thought this sort of thing only happened at Boxing Match

Different times different views . Kids would of loved it ,if it adds to the excitement of going to a game for them then I guess it’s good . There was a lot of adults around me that were filming it so maybe to ashamed to admit they liked it . It’s a global show these days and what us dinosaurs would like at a game are long gone

Not as good as the Sheff Wed in-game light show.

What I saw of it I liked. Consider our 'Fanzone'. For a stylish preamble before kick off, Liverpool is good, and right here right now/GOSBTS is also good, but Fanzone is icky. I think we could do with some tweaks in the final 5 before KO....but the passion should come from the game, not the Ferry Corsten style pre-match mind scaping.

I was there. Where's the "meh" option. Didn't have a problem with it, but not burning to see it all again.

 

[Invicta]

Maybe it's to put off the opposition...did the job on us for 45 mins

Migraine inducing nonsense...

Genuinely think the threat of this and other conditions triggered by could stop this sort of shit happening in its tracks at football grounds. We just need to raise the possibility of legal action because of health implications and bingo, we can stop these frustrated wannabe djs from ruining the match. It’s bloody Brighton, not the Balearics!

The Southampton PA chap gave a warning about that, instructing those susceptible to take precautions.

There was an audio warning ahead of the light show that if you suffered from light induced epilepsy or similar to take appropriate actions to avoid the light show. Personally I don't think this is enough and there should be a warning on all tickets to the event and in all advertising material for the match.

In terms of the light show I thought it was awful and tinpot, but at least we now know where the flame burners from the televised T20 games go for the winter months.

Interesting...could that go down the human rights path I wonder? Love it if so, H&S helping the situation for a change!

Exactly. We come to watch a football match. Not some tin pot Jean M Jarre impersonator doing his Equinox with a few lightbulbs.

They must have a hell of dimmer switch to do all that!

 

[Taybha]

I loved it , the sheer joy and wonderment on the faces of the home fans was lovely to see , ,particularly the lady who managed to make her false teeth dance on her chin to the music whilst eating a burger , well played .

 

[Brovion]

I wasn't there, I didn't see it on TV, but I've still voted for the brass band. **** all this 'enhanced spectator experience' bollocks.

 

[Bozza]

Well, it looks like a positive enough response to give it a go at the Amex. Bring it on.

 

[Crennis]

Don't really get how they do all this flashy light business anyway; when the lights died at the Amex a few seasons back the story was they couldn't be switched back on until they'd cooled down. Unless the new Ultra HD compatible bulbs are less temperamental.

 

[RandyWanger]

Light show, clackers and a drum. They're tin pot.

 

[Official Old Man]

Best light show EVER was the 30 minute lights out at the Amex and the extra pints that went down nicely.
For me Saints show was good but please never at the Amex. GOSBTS forever.

 

[BNthree]

Pretty much everyone around me in the away end was laughing at it incredulously. There seemed to be a general sense of disbelief it was actually happening.
