Is it really the biggest terrace in Europe? Yep it is. I went there two years ago for a Schalke game. Completely blew my head off!

It was turned of 10 mins before ko once , Dont know who we were playing but the only thing packed was the fuckin bars. In fact when it went off it was dead, So why dont the fans get in there seats 15 mins before ko then we would have a point.

I had a thread on the old rivals board about 6 or 7 years ago asking for George Berry to be installed as our announcer. If anyone can get the crowd going without being an annoying cockrag George can, not that our crowd need much getting going but to have a legend like Oooh Georgie Berry starting the proceedings , it would be the ultimate touch for me.

Now that we no longer have terracing there is no need for people to have to get into the ground particularly early to claim their spot and most people nowadays have it timed down to perfection to get into the Brit as late as possible. As long as people are guaranteed their view there will be little point in turning the music off anymore than five minutes before kick off and even then this wont leave enough time for any real atmosphere to build. Still think we could do without all the American sports hullabaloo from the announcer though.

By the way, I'm afraid Premier League rules mean that we have to play that awful generic song that is apparently the 'official Premier League anthem'. Liverpool complain it stops them singing along to their piped song.

What a load of shit! Yes we do need the music loud and banging before the game. 'All' home fans don't start singing until the match starts, simple as that. This was proved when they turned off the music the other week and you could hear a pin drop in the stoke stands, all you could hear was man city! Like when we go away from home we never stop singing for half an hour before the teams come out.
I also like the announcer giving it some on the mic. 'To the loudest supporters in the land' and ' the mighty, mighty potters'!!
Fucking great!!

Agree with this, it was a good idea, but it backfired a bit and we should probably stick with pre match music .

When i was a young 'un at the Vic, i used to love the music pumping out of the speakers. Loads of youngsters do, it's part of the pre match atmosphere to have all their favourite songs pumping out of the speakers like a night club. We have to look after the young 'uns and make it something that they enjoy as part of the day. We don't just have to think of all you fosils in the crowd who bring your flask and library book to enjoy!!
