Who's getting the timing wrong ?

[mickybha]

Fan zone and the history build up on the big screens does a great job of lifting the atmosphere just before the players emerge , we used to get this spot on but recently the timing has been off , we get this great lift and surge of anticipation and then ........................................ a four or five minute gap and the moment is lost, sort it someone

Plus vs Burton they didn't even read the subs out!

Now many people moan that the fans should be the ones who ramp up the atmosphere, isn't it therefore the fans fault its lost?

You are right, I can remember in the Goldstone years with no big screens and whatever, the east terrace would be the first to get a glimpse of the players in the tunnel and they would star the chant of "bring on the champions" this would spread around the ground and the players would emerge to a wall of noise
Now the club have taken that spontaneity away with fan zone and this history build up on the big screens ok so be it, all I'm saying is please get the timing right or you just end up with this void and its wasted

Got to get those pesky adverts in somewhere!!! Strangely last Saturday they never showed the fans in Fan Zone, but played the music with adverts on the screen. Bah!!!

I used to love that! You always knew when the players were coming out because the fans on the bit of the East Terrace that faced the tunnel would start to cheer and clap, that was the signal for the rest of us to get ready. As much a part of the matchday experience as Ron Pavey's halftime draws.

I got my timing wrong with trying to pace myself beers-wise on Saturday. I can't get my head around what time to start drinking or what to have to even things out.

Not the last few seasons at the Goldstone, the east terrace looked more like my old Dads cabbage patch

Couldn't even finish GOSBTS at half-time on Saturday.

I don't think we ever have FanZone when we are on Sky, not sure why.
