Thoughts?

cant knock the club for trying to create a better atmosphere



not the best game to get it going though, not even scoring a try!

will take some getting used too and maybe they need to sit closer to the singers? could work well going forward but need to learn some of our songs too

What dose think were giants Fans turnout today?

About 6k?

If they are there for the season I'm moving stands!!!

Thoughts ? honestly ? NO NO NO NO NO .....get rid !! simple as. as soon as people saw them in the stand you could hear the 'oh no's' straight away....pointless having them IMO, they were just playing what they hear on the TV, playing songs our fans don't even sing to, at inappropriate times etc....sorry it's not for me it sounded like the south stand at Headingley today with the random tunes been blurted out.

Hope to god this isn't going to become a permanent feature, the fans on that sides haven't requested a band and myself and those around me as well as others i chatted to certainly don't want a band there !!!

Was it you in the toilets at half time saying that ? heard someone voicing a rather displeasing opinion of them being there and saying exactly same thing.

someone else said 3 games max till they go too !

It's a no from me. Just never been a big fan. Can work sporadically, but i find that it can steamroller atmosphere rather than build it.

No, so sounds like I'm not the only one.

It's bad enough having to listen to some of the plonkers in the stand, never mind a brass band as well.

Not for me either, fair enough having them joining in with songs that the fans start to keep it going but like daz said they just played random tunes at random times.. If they have to stay and I hope it was a trial game.. Then they are fine as long as they just play along with the songs being sung otherwise its a no for me too

Agree with what Meast is saying, at times it worked and it got the stand going rather than the people at the back but sometimes they played completely irrelevant bits!

Seems a lot of people were saying they will move if they stay.. Where has this come from? Was it something to do with the fanzine Eddie? If not it seems strange that the club just decided this is whats needed

Nothing to do with the fanzine! We created an article with suggestions of how to inprove crowds and I can assure you a band featured no where with in that!

Oh good god - are you telling others what they want and what they should like again? How they should support, what they should smd should not do.
Last week - Moan "there's no atmosphere" moan "no one joins in the songs" moan "why can't we be like Leeds"
This week - moan the band is the wrong atmosphere" moan "they play the wrong songs" moan "we are like leeds"

At least it will drown out the childish drivel and foul language for those on that side of the stadium. And at least it means those of us in the other side can actually hear something from the Kilner bank instead of the usual silence heard.

It was the only sign of an atmosphere in the whole stadium ---- apart from the away end....

the thread asked for thoughts, we offered them.

Apart from sounding terrible the band did not create an atmosphere at all ,what next Les Dawson playing his piano off key.


Personally i can,t stand bands at games and judging by the reaction of people around me neither could they

Not keen at all.

Great idea. Several times they got the crowd singing when doom and gloom had set it.

Agreed with the point about them the choices - maybe a bit of research into what songs we sing. I was expecting 'Marching On Together'

Miserable ers the lot of you.

I sometimes think most of the moaners on here are only interested in one thing their own personal experience of the game and then coming on here and moaning about anything.

Anything to try something different by the club is knocked down," I don't like it, it's too noisy, I don't like the songs".

Try to think about things outside of your own body space.

One of the real issues at The ground is the lack of atmosphere..

Most of those criticising the band's only contribution to the atmosphere is,
Come and join us at the back of the stand where the singers are".

I am not a great lover of bands but for a few minutes each half to liven things up it is no bad thing.

It is like BIg G. if it was non stop druim it would be tedious. Every now and then it helps.

Can't believe what I have been reading on social media

Only 3792 Giants fans compared to 3945 from Hull


Wow

I liked the band! Seven nation army in the build up to kick off worked well a lot of sgocked faces as no one expected it!
On a day when we offered nothing in attack it is easy to see why our fans were not in the mood to sing or chant so the effectiveness of the band was always going to be up against it!
Something different for us and will work to get us a better atmosphere especially if people decide to stop moaning and join in!
Players want us to back them be vocal and show our support in the stands but any idea of something to boost our vocality and it's put down!

No way were there that many, that stand holds 4000, there were about 200 empty seats along with both ends cordoned off, my estimate 2800/2900, still a very good turn out by Hull though.

By the way, no problem with the band, as said they just need to learn the songs that Huddersfield sing out to thats all, i was sat right in the middle as usual and i never heard any disparaging comments from anyone.

I quite liked the band idea. Unfortunately our chants, like the team never really got going.

Bit of a mixed response, as expected really

like i have said you cant knock the club for trying, not the best game to get the atmosphere going with what was dished up on the field

the band i think do need to follow what the fans are chanting though which could come in time

think it will be quite good on a friday night on sky with everyone getting involved!

lets face it the atmosphere before this band was rubbish so cant be much worse, give it a chance... the usual singers seem to have their noses put out just because it wasnt their idea and been overshadowed by the band.

dont believe all you see on social media

2500 is a more true figure of the hull fc, which was very good.

sure someone on here will have the exact figure in the away end.
