If we are going to have bagpipes can we have them playing "Marching on Together". I sort of feel they deserve each other. Double down on the cringe you mean Edit: Just to say I'm joking before you Irish and Scottish guys jump on me. I quite like WELL PLAYED bagpipes, Scots Dragoons guys used to play some right marching music.

My first suggestion to the club would be to turn the shite music they blast out down, not turn down a little but lower it a lot, As others have said,, get a marching band on, local brass bands, a choir etc etc anything but the loud inane white noise drivel they seem to play before the game starts,

For all we know they could be playing some absolutely banging music. But we can't tell because of the volume. And that's coming from someone who's seen Slipknot, Exodus, Motorhead, Lamb Of God, Trivium and many other "obnoxiously loud"** bands! ** How my mam described Slipknot and Lamb of God

I’m in Riverside Lower and the music is not too loud there - the music selection is dire though.

I’m in Riverside Lower and the music is not too loud there - the music selection is dire though. Kilner usually, sometimes South Stand. It's terrible in Kilner. I like loud music, but not when it's so loud you can't make out what the song is, but from what you're saying maybe that's a plus

It's terrible in Kilner. I like loud music, but not when it's so loud you can't make out what the song is, but from what you're saying maybe that's a plus So it’s definitely not an issue in all parts of the ground. If it’s so loud that it distorts the music they need to look at it surely. The music selection is strange - it’s like they only have a library of 5 songs. I really don’t get what they are trying to achieve. In the PL era and because in those days the ground was near full by 2.45pm they used to ramp up the music to get the crowd up for it. Now the music serves no purpose at all.

Stop selling white rose tickets to away fans, who are almost always tossers goading home fans from behind the safety of a 3 foot fence. It cant possibly bring in enough income to be worth it.

Volume of the music must depend where you are in the stadium. Back of the kilner its never been anything thats occurred to me ( it being particularly loud )

My regular ST seat was right on the back row under the gantry and it was atrocious. I've only been in Kilner half a dozen times this season and mostly in the corner(s) near the front and it's not AS bad there, the music seems to get "blown away" when you're sat in the corners. TBH though, usually I'm chatting with mates so the music's background stuff anyway.

The PA system was abysmal when it went in, never mind 30 years later.

The boro game was very enjoyable though, the looks on their faces when our fourth went in Always pays not to over celebrate and show some restraint, especially if you're in the away end, even if you're one up against what you consider to be the league's whipping boys!

Pretty sure one of the ATT meeting minutes revealed that they'd rebalanced the sound levels all around the ground, at some point after the year 2020...WHILST THERE WAS NO CROWD IN THE GROUND, like what an idiot would do 🤷♂️ As a result, the sound levels from the PA and the (separate) emergency sound system are totally different depending on where you are - for me (2/3rd of the way up the South Stand), it just means a blare of noise when music is played, and not having been able to hear a single word that Tog has spoken since we returned to football stadiums after the closed-doors season.

Double down on the cringe you mean Edit: Just to say I'm joking before you Irish and Scottish guys jump on me. I quite like WELL PLAYED bagpipes, Scots Dragoons guys used to play some right marching music. The Scottish and Irish pipes are fantastic instruments. They can sound a bit harsh on the ear to people who are only used to listening to the musical simplicities of most pop and rock, but the ear/brain can adjust to them given a bit of time.

I'm glad you put most pop and rock. When Metallica did the S&M shows with the full orchestra, the classically trained players couldn't get over how complex the arrangements, chord changes, etc were. A few of them became metal fans after those shows. It's the same with the Sax to me. Well played ANY instrument sounds great, but if it's played badly it's REALLY bad. Unless you're Les Dawson playing the piano badly on purpose of course

It was the CL14 who raised it, a few times. The speakers at the front of the south stand used to be so loud that you had to shout at your mate stood next to you, it was deafening. They did turn it down and alter the sound to allow fans to build the atmosphere themselves but it seems to change on a game by game basis. My personal preference and the Cowshed Loyals preference for pre KO music and sound will differ to yours and a lot of others I imagine but I’d pick a song that gets everyone buzzing, stick with it and turn it down slowly as fans join in/we get closer to KO. Other clubs manage it yet we seem to tinker with it all the time. Smile awhile is now religiously sung just as the players KO, the fan base engrained that part into the routine, it’s just the bit before then.

Watching most of the recent play off games it occurred to me how well most clubs build the atmosphere brilliantly just before kick off. We should be able to do much better.

Smile awhile is now religiously sung just as the players KO, the fan base engrained that part into the routine, it’s just the bit before then. it was good briefly a few years back when we had that bombastic music (no idea what the tune was) that built up the tension ahead of the teams then emerging…every song before it was forgotten and irrelevan. This may have been 10 years ago 🤷♂️ It’s just been utterly shit for the last few years…an endless stream of repeated bland tunes from a small selection of bland tunes in the 25 mins to kick off…nothing I can even remember as the teams come out (think it’s mainly a man on a mic shouting stuff that can’t be heard..possibly telling us the team line up that we knew an hour ago and can see with our eyes)…and then finally they cut it out so you can hear yourself think and Smile Awhile happens and all is good.

At Headingley today, I noticed four E Bars - machines selling beer. You told the guy how many plastic glasses you wanted, placed it under the respective tap, scanned your credit card, and voila. Can’t imagine there were more than 9k there, few of whom would be drinking so early in the day. Might be worth a punt.
Of course, you would miss the character and joviality of the bar staff, but that’s the price of progress.
