Please can you get rid of the camera going around the crowd before the game? I would hate to be on it as would most of the rest of the crowd

That camera link gets beamed around the world.
I doubt most local fans realise but in Australia all games usually go out live 10 minutes before kick off. I assume this is to iron out any immediate problems.
The opening 10 minutes is usually filled with the commentators introductions together with images of supporters around the ground tucking into pies or chatting on their phones.
It is quite amusing as I sit in shorts with the air conditioning on watching my fellow Stokies in their wooly hats and scarves drinking a steaming hot bovril on the tv whilst listening to the inane commentators (who have obviously drawn the short straw) predictably informing everyone how the Bet 365 stadium is one of the coldest stadiums they have to visit.
I once saw my ex girlfriends father and a friend of the family in the crowd during these random crowd scans, but I always get ready to watch this part and to seek out a familiar face.
I think most of my mates are still in the pub until 5 minutes after kick off so rarely see anyone I know these days.
Perhaps more importantly it is sense of nostalgia being so far away and yet seeing my people in my home town getting ready for the game ahead. It is part of my pre match build up and I really enjoy this part for home games.
When the players are ready we divert to the tunnel cam and wait for the players to line up.

More importantly than that... why do they read out the teams really early now? There’s nobody in the stadium to cheer the players names when they’re read out so early. They used to do it almost immediately before kick off. It makes us look quite small-time.

They should read the teams when they're in the tunnel before they come out. It'd gee them up to hear the crowd cheering their names before they walk out onto the pitch. |

Slightly off topic, but it reminded me of one summer whilst working as a flight dispatcher at Manchester Airport. The era of the 'fly on the wall' documentary was well and truly 'booming', you could'nt step foot anywhere in the terminal for fear of one of these idiot cameramen shoving his camera in, whilst trying placate 180 folk whose flight to Alicante had another two hour's added to an inevitable 'creeping delay' during the height of the summer. I'd had enough when they started filming me being berated by some guy fuelled by booze and the obvious coaching of the production team, pointing to a freight aircraft across the apron and saying, 'there's a plane, it's free, why can't you get that one for us..
After that whenever they appeared, I just went up to the 'viz' like character, running the shoot, saying I withdrew my 'consent' to be filmed. I remember once being asked for a reason, by some bint whose ID allowed me to say 'but Cressida, what if someone from the DHSS should see this, what kind of trouble, would I be in then.....' She just stared at me blankly and said through teeth that Shergar might have had, 'whats the DHSS?
Whenever I was asked by anyone who the presenter if the sorry affair was, I'd say 'its that fat bird off of Emmerdale'
Cool story eh, brothers?
Oh I forgot....the best bit. The series it was due to be aired on a Wednesday night in September, one day before it was 9/11. They binned it for obvious reasons, never got to see the light of day...😂

No one cares who you are unless you are sitting next to some woman who isn't your wife (whom you told you're just going for a hike). Yeah, you've been made you poor bastard.
