I still can’t get my head round the idea of playing music at ear splitting volume just before the game kicks off when every time, the ref blows his whistle to start, the music is cut and the game starts in complete silence. It then takes a minute or so for the fans to start to get some atmosphere going themselves. Don’t see what the practice brings to the match day experience.

Agreed, it's counter productive.

It's always irritated me as well.
I've whinged about the lack of atmosphere on the other threads, but this really doesn't help.

Totally agree the music should be switched off 5mins before the start to allow fans to build the atmosphere, Sometimes the start is he noisiest. Noticed some games even have a countdown from 10.

Has this been brought to the fans reps attention? Seems like the kind of thing they're in a position to discuss with the club

I think the Hibs 'DJ', or whatever they're called nowadays, sometimes reads the comments on here.
Might be worth people making their thoughts known directly to the club, and they could pass it on. If enough of us did that, they might do something about it.

Same every week, ear splittingly loud in FF lower, fortunately in slightly late after over indulging in Greggs pre-match so missed out on the racket, stepped in during the 'silence'.

Happens at semi finals and finals at Hampden too, really grating as both sets of fans try to build an atmosphere only to be drowned out by the latest Radio 1 chart topper.

Bluetooth headphones are essential if you want to avoid the crap music played at Easter Road.
Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

it is all about the choice of song for me.
some songs work good, some not so good.
the songs that generate crowd participation are best.
I always think the teams should come out to GGTTH. surely none of you would moan about that :P

Wired headphones just won't cut it.

We should let the fans decide what music should be played each game.

Loud music in pubs is designed to make folk drink more.
Does it make us shout more at the match?
I don't think so.

Agree with the original post, the music does nothing for the , ahem, matchday experience.

The announcer dude gets everything wrong.
I completely agree that there should be a no music for a few mins before kick off, same at half time. In fact no music at half time would be pretty decent.
Likewise, after a game, give us a min or two before the music.
When we beat Hearts last year he played SoL as soon as the whistle went. No time to turn to your mates and celebrate the win, cheer or talk about it at all. Just bang, SoL. And it was crap cause everyone in the stadium was trying to cheer, sing and applaud the team.
I think he’s about 12 and just gets dead excited getting to play with the buttons.

Yes, the music at the start of the game is annoying.
But far worse, in my opinion, is making announcements about the size of the crowd and the man of the match when the game is still being played and can be at a critical point. That drives me demented. These announcements should be made straight after the final whistle.

Obviously living a bit of a sheltered life at Dickens, try Brewhemia on. Friday night, the volume is megaloud and the beer is twice the price too.Last edited by superfurryhibby; 16-09-2018 at 07:38 AM.

It’s also the fact he plays utter garbage from the charts that does my head in. Absolute dross.
