Title: Pre match entertainment on big screen/concourses.
Post by: D.boy on November 02, 2010, 02:58:48 PM
The club are interested to hear what fans would like to see on the various screens around the stadium so put your suggestions (sensible) here. It's for pre match entertainment.

Sky Sports News or live match if there is one beforehand.

Either of those would be sensible, anything that doesn't require volume to watch it.

Agreed. There's plenty of space for it to fit nicely back in place. Just where the hell is it?

They could do with playing some decent music just after the players have finished warming up until they come out for kick off to build an atmosphere. This year so far has been terrible. And could they please stop playing that song for the evening kick off by the black eyed peas, it's shit!

In the corner of MON's living room probably

I would like to see highlights games from 70's / 80's and not just the goals

The other big screen back and completely agree with the music situation - playing the Black Eyed Peas, who I hate, suggests we're all there for a party. We're not, we're here to win a fucking football match. Play a song that gets the blood pumping, not one that gets a load of seven year olds running around with their arms outstretched.

I dunno. Maybe we could have Gabby's Twitter feed, followed by close-ups of the Brigada 1874 routines.

highlights of youth and reserve matches + preview of match including up to date team news esp. if any late fitness tests. Highlights + analysis of 1st team performances over previous weeks, again esp. if away the week before. In general, Villa related stuff.

The Eye of the Tiger on repeat whilst showing re-runs of Rocky on the big screen.

I agree, but whole soundtrack to Rocky IV, Joe Esposito class....ahem.
On another note, has anyone seen the painting in the lower Holte of Tony Barton and Dennis Mortimer? I don't think it was there vs Chelsea, but saw it on Sun. It looks like something from the side of a house in Belfast.

Here here.  Turn the TVs off 5 mins before KO and let the crowd create some noise.

I would agree on the music being turned off and the crowd creating atmosphere but we don't tend to do it.

The Ajax fans singing to 3 little birds is very impressive.

On the televisions, what about ticket and travel info for forthcoming matches, etc?

How about suggesting some songs that would get the same reaction from us then as a singalong, just a thought.

That's been there about 5/6 years.

How about a live CCTV feed from the road where I park my car so I can see if the lad who has money off me really does stand there and guard it while I'm in the ground.
You know, I'm not convinced he does.

"Why don't you turn off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?"

I agree with those who say turn it off. Turn it all off and take it all out
I know it wont happen but I would like to go back to the good old days where the crowd did or did not create any atmosphere, and without someone shouting down the tannoy trying to tell us how to support the team.
Big games you can have a marching band on the pitch, Arsenal used to have a singing policeman accompanying a police band.
And while we are at, put the old alphabet boards up for the half times. Tell the club it will increase programme sales because you need the programme for the alphabet key.
And stop wearing replica shirts, why do you need a shirt? your not playing today are you ?
A woolen claret and blue square scarf and a bobble hat is all you need to show your allegiance.

Aston Villa are one of the founding members of the oldest league in the world and a traditional club.
Get back to traditonal values and presentation, and win lose or draw we will all enjoy ourselves a lot more.
