pedro111 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Literally the only thing missing now is a wall of noise for 90 minutes. If we can get a huge singing section then SJP will be up there with the best in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Yeah 100%. I kept thinking how class it would have been to see the scarves twirl spontaneously during the game like shearers testimonial, with a loud chant going off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kick the codgers out the gallowgate get the safe standing in and it will be class if enough like minded people get together there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, personally, tonight was one of our largest 'sucesses' Was good seeing you before the game. Guessing you had started early 🍻🙂 Bit of feedback for the lads. Thought the surfer got dispersed too early. Keep it up so players can see it walking out the tunnel. Loved the promoting of the scarfs. I gave my testimonial ticket away so was never there for Shearer game which I obviously regret whenever I see the footage 🙂 Made a great spectacle.

Thorpinho Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Watching on tv it was quite jarring going from the flags, scarves and the blaring music to kick off all sat down and so much quieter. Have said before think the PA system should stop or ease off a couple of minutes pre kick off for a big chant to build instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Yeah, the challenge is having the pre-match stuff without the big anti-climax when the game starts. Maybe we can think of some specific thing that starts at the first whistle, or builds up over the minute before and after. Scarves should be permanent, it was class.

NWMag Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Watching on TV I too noticed the drop off in noise from pre match to kick off, as the players were in position waiting for the referee to blow his whistle it felt like we had begun a minutes silence haha, it would be good if the noise carried into the match (nothing to do with Wor Flags btw, top work as always you guys) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Brilliant again, looked absolutely class. Loved seeing the old surfer. Definitely agree that we need a singing section. It should have the effect of getting people right next to it to sing a bit more as well. I'm convinced that half the reason the nights it's so loud you can't hear your own voice happen is exactly because people can’t hear their own voices.

Scoot Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 We need to start, as the players come out rather than whilst they're in the tunnel. Obviously I don't know the ins and outs of this from wor flags side of things and not sure if they're told they have to start at a specific time, so I'm certainly not having a go here.

Big River Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 feel like I'm always shitting on the PA bloke but he was rubbish again last night. started the scarf waving too early. poor timings and crap choice of music pre and post match. a half-time poem ffs. announcing the score before each scorer. it's criticism, but coming from a good place, we're so close to having something really really special. just don't think he ever helps our cause.

Still trying to work out what he was playing at full time and what he was thinking by playing it. It was like something you'd hear down the Phoenix Club.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) The tannoy guy is terrible. ‘Enjoy the game’ FFS? Not something motivational, not howay the lads, nothing like that. The timing of the scarf thing was totally wrong, albeit the fans managed to carry on long enough. Does anyone know what the poem is for? Second game in a row he’s read it out. Generally just odd and needs the bin. Edited January 11, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Just saw the Twitter clip from the club account, maybe it’s just me but I hate it when the announcer says ‘wave your flags, wave your scarves’ it’s just makes it seem manufactured if that’s the right word. To counter my own opinion I don’t know if there is any other way to inform the crowd but I would have thought it would happen naturally as kick off approaches anyway.

Tsunami Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I got the feeling it was linked to tv audiences. He was encouraging fans to twirl way before the players were due out. Have to say just about everyone brought a scarf. Impressive effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I wouldn’t say it was “about everyone” that brought a scarf, it was certainly more than enough to make it visually impactful, and a lot more than I was expecting. Think we may have reached the point where Wor Flags reach is hitting mainstream support rather than just social media/online. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
