Oldham Community Trust Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) I am keen to hear peoples ideas on how we could improve the matchday experience at games. Whilst we certainly cant do everything and some things are beyond our control what would you like to see or do that would improve it.

Give us summat to gawp at, and summat to cheer. We used to always have kiddies playing at the break then it stopped. Bring it back I say. Oh and naked half-time scores reading would be a winner!

Crossbar challenge, penalty shootout between some kids, 7-aside for local schools in a small tournament that lasts about 2 home games, (2 games at ht each game), something along those lines, Oh, and more pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookers_Carl Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Would be great if we could get a response that doesnt start with "We can't do that because...." I personally think the attention to the little things help a bit. Some suggestions for me would be Pre game and half time entertainment I personally think the crossbar challenge was always fun to watch. The prize doesn't have to be huge, something like a 50 quid voucher for the club shop? Goal music I remember my first season as a ST holder, 1995/1996. James Brown "I feel good" was played every time Latics scored, and definitely got the crowd going a bit. The reintroduction of goal music would be a welcome addition in my opinion.

Macca Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 A supply of pies that last past half-time! The Community Trust can't do much about pies. What is the Community Trust's role at the club? What does it do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKI1234 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Goal music? There is no excuses there! Wasnt it another cost cutting excersise because we have to pay for the music. We done so much cost cutting from big (knocking down lookers) to small like this one and scoreboard etc that it might have saved the club a few pounds on the end of year speadsheets but has had a negatiive effect on fans attending or returning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laticsmad Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) I've not had any personal experience of this myself but I hear the stewards over-zelous approach to crowd control is having a negative effect in some parts of BP! They do seem to be over the top! Anybody care to comment? Edited October 18, 2010 by laticsmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus mate, if that one area bothers you then, I hasten to add, perhaps you should move seats. Edited October 18, 2010 by laticsmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it Macca, if the young supporters want to try and raise the roof with chanting and a little verbal sparing wirh the away supporters what exactly is the problem? I for one think that it is great and should be embraced, not subdued by the stewards!! Edited October 18, 2010 by laticsmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
