What are our feelings about the light show and music extravaganza last night?
I thought it took the momentum out of the build up and no one in my view apart from one 6yr old boy was enjoying it.
It felt like the crowd then struggled to get their levels back up for the kick off.
I’m a 45 yr old semi-grumpaholic so it may just not be for me. My daughter thought it was a pain in the Arras too though! It just seems totally pointless Americanisation of the match day and a waste of energy. We like to natter to the people around us, do the quiz and enjoy the build up.

I bloody hate it.
American money slowly turning it into the NFL.
British football culture being destroyed basically.
Late stage capitalism. Corporations don't even want you to create your own atmosphere. |  | | |

It's a big no from me. No one near us enjoyed it, in fact I'd say that almost everyone was taking the p1ss out of it.
The fireworks and flame throwers as the teams come out work, as it adds to the theatre of the entrance, but the light show is pointless and distracting. |  |

It's down to personal choice. I kind of liked it; that's me. |  |

Pointless and potentially dangerous.
They turned all of the lights out in the stands, just as the majority of people were trying to head up the stairs and take their seats. | |

As a football traditionalist I am not a great fan of the light show, but I dislike the pyrotechnics more due to the smoke and fumes, especially during daytime matches.
I would also prefer the announcer to read out both team sheets rather than shouting Blue army'. |  | | |

Can't stand it - lightshows, fireworks can do one. Come on pitch, shake hands and play football - simple as | | | |

The whole 'Blue Army'' is cringe at its best | | | |

My main issue with the light show and music is it just wasn't very good! It didn't do anything at all to build atmosphere or anticipation, it felt like they did it because they wanted to show off. If the choice of music was a hundred times better then it might be tolerable. [Post edited 5 Sep 20:25]

Lightshow, music choice for build up and dj mixing pretty dreadful in my humble opinion.
And please for the love of god stop with the annoucer led Blue Army at kick off.
Short light show when we win is fine by me. |  |

Same, the light show I didn’t mind. The pyrotechnics I love tbh really gets my adrenaline going as the players come out. | | | |

Ha. As a DJ myself I have winced at the lack of effort in the mixing of pre match medleys.
I know most people prob won't notice or care, but it bothers me! | |

Very much not a DJ but I have definitely noticed! | | | |

It was appalling wasn’t it? Just a mish mash of musical snippets. One of my kids armed with a DJ controller with sync activated could have done a better job . |  | | |

Absolute shïte, and it unfortunately sums up the people at the club that are making the decisions on ‘atmosphere’.
No to any organised supporter input, yes to all Americanised nonsense, just like almost every other club in this country.
There’s no idea or desire to actually improve anything, just crank up the speakers and hit ‘em with the smoke and strobe lights. That’ll do it. |  | | |

We range from 10 to 80 in the seats around us, no one had a good word for it. |  |

It does nothing for me, but I’m not bothered by it either. However, there seem to be a lot more families around us this season, with kids, and they seemed to be really into it and enjoying the hype.
Ultimate these are the next generation of fans, and if it’s what they like, who am I to stand in the way. They’ll be around supporting Town for much longer than I will now. | | | |

I bet you like the American cash when it’s saved the club though. [Post edited 5 Sep 21:43]

Our fanbase are quiet though, maybe they’re just trying to get everyone going. | |

We did a deal with the devil. We had to. But it's the devil.
They are doing a good job. But there's nothing altruistic about it.
It's exciting to see where we go but I get the feeling that when it's become sports entertainment slop, with even more part time fair weather 'fans' treating it like the cinema, and hyped NFL type crap and all the rest of the nonsense, we will be miss watching good, honest players like Jay Tabb play football as it was recognised in the 20th century... | | | |

Stoke have had a light show years before us and owned by a British family. Light shows at football are nothing to do with Americans to be honest. Didn’t Evan’s get us half time cheerleaders for a while ffs…
Unnecessary dig at Americans tbh, with a few 6th form favourites chucked in for good measure. | | | |
