Baldyboy 1 Posted November 5, 2017 I noticed after Tuesday a few people said that the atmosphere was very flat, which indeed it was.Maybe, someone within the Club could help improve the atmosphere by going back to the tradition of a rendition of “On the ball City” instead of that stupid Parklife song when the team comes out!Maybe that would help improve the atmosphere a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 547 Posted November 5, 2017 When you go to the cinema your admission fee entitles you only to see the film. Whether you are entertained or not is your subjective opinion and is nothing to do with your admission. The same is true for football. If you are consistently left feeling it was not value for money you have the freedom to not go again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted November 5, 2017 I disagree with the cinema analogy. A film is a constant, it doesn’t change from week to week. You know before you go if you will like it or not.It’s more like going to the theatre. You know the general gist of what will happen, but it’s variable. The show may be perfect, or the lead character may forget his line repeatedly, ruining the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 547 Posted November 5, 2017 Unless you have seen the film before how do you know you will be sure of enjoying it? Friends may have seen it and tell you it''s good but that'' their opinion not yours. However I do think your theatre analogy is probably a better one.

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted November 5, 2017 Who in their right mind would buy a season ticket to go to the theatre every other week regardless of what''s on. How on earth is that a good analogy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 547 Posted November 5, 2017 A typical contrary response from you. Just why do you bother? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps we could have someone with an organ behind the goal to play dramatic music ''when'' we attack, would add to the atmosphere wonderfully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted November 5, 2017 Many cinemas do have a monthly fee option where you can pay and watch as many films as you like. I personally wouldn’t compare the experience to the football though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,751 Posted November 6, 2017 There isn''t really any great analogies as football is pretty unique. Following a sports team is, by any sensible definition, irrational. I believe, however, this is what makes it so great.Trying to think about it too logically or rationally takes most of the fun out of it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
