East Rider 548 Posted June 12, 2019 Now we are back in the big time. Should we be wishing for a more appropriate half time entertainment package. Perhaps a band or a clown even? What would YOU like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East Rider 548 Posted June 12, 2019 I did wonder if each section of the ground could have a game each where during HT they had to come up with a skit or song related to their area of the stand or ground. For example:- the River End upper tier, middle section, first few rows could do a rendition of On the Ball City by tuttering, with the occasional 'Stiepermann, you're fuc&in$ sh1t ' shouted out very loudly as a chorus?

Felixfan 53 Posted June 13, 2019 Why do we need entertaining at half time. By the time I have queued for the gents and returned it is probably over anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted June 13, 2019 My preferences: Marching bands - who refuse to divert around subs having a kick about. Schoolkids relay race - one in each corner / half way line. Or aren't kids allowed to be competitive now? Police Dog show - I'm sure I remember that from when I was a kid in the 70s/80s. Crossbar challenge / skill game - especially when the participants are wearing leather soled brogues and have been in the hospitality suites for a few hours. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Ryans Express 32 Posted June 13, 2019 Another vote here for the police dog show...There used to be a staged scuffle in the old river end penalty box and a bloke with a heavily padded right arm would leg it down the pitch to be brought down by a slavering alsation before the Barclay in front of an indifferent crowd . In my shoddy memory it used to be every other home game alternating with a marching band of various kinds.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you saying that entertainment in the gents at half time, is more satisfying than watching the marching band ruin the half time run out for the subs? It is certainly an option I hadn't considered, but we can add it as a possible if you wish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
