Just my thoughts...
Maybe reserve the flame-throwers for big night games.
Read out our team in the order of goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and strikers rather than squad number, and sync it with the screen.
Read out the away team too.
Retire the 'blue army' shouts.
At half time and full time read out the latest scores from the other games in our league. Many of us cannot get phone signals so are in the dark about what is happening. |  | | |  |

Just play Edward Ebenezer again like they did a few years ago.
Also why do we like all clubs have to succumb to the highlights of great moment's on the big screen with thunder drums hype? Its supposed to highlight individuality of the club but everyone doing it means it just feels like you're at an O2 concert with wristbands.
Finally bring back Rob Chandler [Post edited 26 May 1:05]

The home team should be read out by Nigel Havers
The away team should be read out by Pam Ferris
A brass band should play The World Rejoicing, by Edward Gregson - conducted by Norman Eshley | |

Get the local kids teams on at half time to take penalties in the goals like they used to. |  | | |

Bin the flames and fireworks forever, this is football not a circus
Stop soaking the pitch just before kickoff as it seems to be like an ice rink for 20-30 mins with players slipping up all over the place
Hey Jude seems to fire up both sets of fans so not sure it has the full desired effect
Totally agree on the rest. |  |

Presumably the flames are a premier league requirement so we can bin them for a year and get them back out next. [Post edited 26 May 8:47]

GET THE FLIPPING PA SORTED OUT!!!!
Awful in the SBR...either VERY loud or nothing at all.
If a need for an emergency announcement then we would not have a clue what was going on.
This is an important safety concern. [Post edited 26 May 8:57]

I think emergency announcements are made from the control room, where there's a better system set up. Could be wrong, though.
I actually posted elsewhere what changes need to be made. Let's see if I can remember them:
- Replace the announcer. Mark Murphy had his critics but he was far better.
- As said, ditch the flames and smoke
- Again, already mentioned, but read out both teams before kick off
- And, of course, sort out the PA system
- Bring back Singing the Blues for Hey Jude. Why are we not using that anymore?
- Definitely forget about the shrill "Blue Army" before every game
- Does relegation mean the end of the scanning outside the stadium? Please say yes
Oh, one more thing - if plans for the day, such as welcoming the coach or publishing Ed Sheeran stickers, means more programmes will be sold than usual ensure more are printed in the first place. | |

Bin the cardboard arch and shaking hands before a game when the only intention is to get the opponent sent off ASAP - bar captains at coin toss of course.
Get rid of silly fireworks, over loud ‘build up the atmosphere’ music, cones for footballs to sit on. Pre match shouty cringeworthy bloke: he can go.
Call linesmen by their proper name not ‘assistant referees’. The knobbly kneed little men bobbing up and down the touchline don’t assist in anything beyond getting stuff wrong.
Keep the mascots, though they could do with a re-fur and the flag thing as the teams walk out to.
Sorted. |  | | |

The blue army, and come on the Town, shouts are probably the worse part of a match day experience for me.
Completely utter sht and embarrassing |  |

Almost perfect suggestions, but announcing in squad number order is so much better and is done everywhere. Think announcing it by positions is grim.
Christ, day 1 of close season and I’m talking passionately about how to announce the team 🙄 | | | |

I agree with everything you have to say here other than the Assistant Referees.
As the parent of a female official, AR works just fine (although 'lino' also works but sells the role short) and they are there do exactly as the title says - assist the referee. With buzzer flags and microphones these days, they don't need to 'go big' with the flags and are often instructed not to by the one in the middle. That doesn't mean they're not constantly talking about what they're seeing from different angles - we just don't witness it as fans.
AR is a specialist role these days with the top level officials focussing on just that when they reach the upper levels of officiating.
I see much of this from the inside now and it's fascinating - but PGMOL, the EFL and EPL really could do a much better job of explaining how it all works. [Post edited 27 May 16:49]
