My problem isn't with Ricky himself, as I think its great that I can now hear most of whats being said (no offense Tannoy man I know this wasn't your fault), but with his choice of music.
I appreciate that the guy is into reggea, ska, soul type stuff but most of us aren't and it doesn't exactly lift you to a crescendo for when the teams run out. Also the music at half time should add to the atmosphere not be something similar to background music in a restaurant!!!
Like has been said we had an open and frank discussion about what we wanted to hear played, okay that cd was played to death after that, but it at least suited the atmosphere.
As far as 'Cart on' is concerned, no offense to zero but it is not going to be a massive countrywide success and not everyone is going to like it, but you should know you have to put personal feelings about a song aside when you 'DJ' Mr Kirby. ITS OUR SONG PLAY THE FRICKING THING!!!
Also running out to the rocky them tune is utter Camembert, cheese of the gooiest variety!!! As a player, I would be embarressed to be running out to it for that reason alone!!
The one bit of praise I do have on this subject is the use of 'The Great Escape' at the final whistle. This is a piece of music that epitomises us as a football club and I love it!!!
I also think its great a local radio staion are getting involved and showing their support by 'sponsoring' the tannoy on match days.
If you come on here Ricky please refer to these threads for inspiration, as this is what the fans wanted.
