Has anyone else noticed that the club announces the starting lineups whilst the players are in the tunnel now, rather than when the players are on the pitch like previous seasons...surely that used to helped pump the players up before kick off and build the atmosphere?

Can't build any kind of atmosphere before the game anyway. Can't even hear the bloke next to you.

I have noticed the change though, I assumed it was just because there was potential to run over into kick-off when announcing the teams as they're shaking hands.

To be honest there isn't a huge cheer when the names are read out. People seem to lose interest after the 3rd name is read out so if anything it's a bit of a mood dampener for each player's name to be read out to a ripple of applause, especially when there is a big cheer for someone like Carey straight after you.

It`s a little weird when the announcer says let`s welcome so and so to HP and there is no player to applaud, noticeable with Toums and Remi.

Can’t hear a bleddy thing! That person in the DJ hut just blasts his noise so loud no one can communicate for about 3-5 minutes!!

Totally ridiculous and uneccesary.

Build up the atmosphere? He kills it dead every time.

Is there anyone you know who could potentially do something about it?

Agree entirely.

What is that latest funereal dirge that's played just before Semper?

I thought it was inappropriate to blast out the loud music immediately after the minute silence.

I complained to the club and the reply in brief stated that it was not the intention to stifle the atmosphere... How on earth can you get an atmosphere going with such loud carp music.
Ian... Could we start some sort of poll and/or speak to someone in an official capacity. I cannot speak to the person sat next to me, how can that be right?!

I too find the new way of announcing the team whilst they are nowhere to be seen as a totally stupid idea,particularly when there is a debutant to applaud,why change the way it used to be? and as for the "music"played before the game,we should be able to talk to one another in relative quiet before Semper fills the ground,that is all that is required,Semper,also not that terrible version played for the second half,utter tripe.

It would have a much better effect if the players were announced and then sprinted onto the pitch with purpose, as they used to before the silly slow walk and handshake routine that we've seen in the last 10 years or so.

I hate the forced handshake anyway, much like the poppy situation these gestures are pointless when they're an obligation rather than a choice.

Probably shouldn't have nudged that particular hornets nest, but every public figure and sportsmen now being effectively forced to wear a poppy clearly undermines the idea that it is a personal display of remembrance.

The same is true of the pre match handshake, it's hardly representing sportsmanship if you're forced to do it. And back to the original point, deprives us of the adrenaline fuelled and atmosphere building sprinting out onto the pitch.

Poll please. I cannot believe that any thinking person finds the current state of affairs to be acceptable.

my only issue with reading out the names of the teams as the payers exchained handshakes was as argyle players ran towards the devonport end it sounded like we were applauding the away teams players names or is it just me :crazy:
