For me it was the best of the European trips. The Scottish drum bar in the video was bouncing. So good I've been on holiday over there since... Has anyone got the video of the fans chanting Michael Laudrups barmy army on the walk to the ground, it has been posted on here before and it was on the local news in Sweden?

I think you will now see the return of more posters to this site. My first post in nearly 7 years, I had no intention of ever posting on the old board again. |

They haven't. There was a brief period when they played the france 1998 dario g song I believe. And when trundle scored they played a queen snippit. The majority of time nothing was played. It was never regular,
look back at the hull game and check?
Anyway I'm off to work now as I do have a life! Lol
Whether you agree with my point or not, it highlights the trusts need to engage with their fanbase more effectively. If this was done I'm sure the vast majority would want the music stopped or changed. A large scale survey highlighting not just this but many other issues is needed. |

I think its the trust's role to make sure it effectively engages with the fans not only trust members and those that attend forum meetings not mine.
I don't wish any apathy, but know fans hurt be the season ticket fiasco, which lost faith.
Anyway we aren't going to agree.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. heres to many goals on Saturday. Jack Army! |

Why I'm bothering to respond I don't know. 72? Your point being?
I tell you what go and read a book on social research theory and methods then get back to me.
German teams have a history of goal songs in recent years we don't in EPL.
Munich are a world wide brand.
They have taken ownership of their song.
They haven't stolen it off Wigan.
Its not a terrible 70's ska song.
They are not an upcomming club performing in the most watched league in world. |

I would question how representative a vote in a trust meeting is of our fanbase. A poll on this site in the summer overwhelmingly voted to ditch the music. Anyone that has a knowledge of social research will know that because numbers may have been slightly higher in your meeting it doesn't mean its more representative.
I feel confident that any proper sampled and administered survey would highlight that fans do not want the music.
As mentioned it would be worth undertaking proper research to discuss not just the music, but other issues that affect our club at the same time.
Not just a case of whoever can turn up to a meeting, without knowing what the agenda is and sticking their hands up in the air to vote.
The apathy to the trust stems from the complete shambles with the season ticket arrangements after we got promoted, as I mentioned previously. Nothing to do with the goal music
Although as I mentioned I feel you have not addressed the issue effectively and tried to belittle the issue. It does have an impact on the way we present ourselves to a worldwide audience after we score. Currently its a bunch of fans that want to be like Wigan Athleric and would rather dance to a dodgy 70's ska record instead of celebrating and singing songs associate with our club! |

I’m glad you acknowledge that it is not representative. I would assume it’s roughly the same people that attend the trust meetings regularly? I would like to have seen how the question was presented and vote taken. I feel the issue hasn’t been adequately addressed.
Granted numbers were small (prob due to not having prominence on the site). However as mentioned by Morfa Same, the poll on here in August overwhelmingly voted to drop the goal celebration music. Similarly the debate on the forum was not in favour of the music and quite damming in fact. That should have been enough evidence to drop the music.
The debate this time hasn’t been as constructive. However when you have certain posters continually hijacking threads and abusing other posters, it is hardly surprising that people don’t visit the site and contribute in the numbers as previously. The amount of good posters that have left this site is startling.
As I stated if the trust published an agenda prior to their meetings and I had realised it was due to be discussed beforehand, I may have even attended. Similarly other fans I know that feel fed up with the embarrassing goal music and in the Liberty in general.
That’s why it would be beneficial to have the announcer as a guest for fans to address him with our grievances. As I said he appears to have no accountability and do what he wants.
I feel he doesn’t enhance the match day experience and only detracts. We are a global brand now and the vast majority of our fans are watching all over the globe on TV. We want to convey the passionate Swansea Jack atmosphere to them into their living rooms. It is fantastic to hear our fans singing and creating a wall of sound and we want that to transcend through to fans worldwide and spread the Swansea City Sound.
Then at the key moment after we score, instead of hearing the Swans faithful shout for joy, what do you get some dodgy 70’s ska band from Brighton blasting through your airwaves.
The song is not relevant to the Swans whatsoever, so why play it? Just let the audience hear the Swans shout and cheer. Previously after a goal it would often lead to spontaneous chants almost directly afterwards such as:
Easy, easy, easy
Who are you, who are you?
Hyms and Arias… etc
The use of music kills all this.
I would like him to answer, why was the decision taking to introduce goal music in the first place when the overwhelming majority of clubs don’t use any? Also why pick the very unimaginative Tom Hark song? It has nothing to do with our club. Also it is being used by Wigan Athletic and do we really need to model ourselves on that great football institution.
As I mentioned there is a disillusionment and apathy to the Trust at present.
You may have bigger battles at present, but this is a quick win for the trust. All that is needed is for the trust to tell the bloke to stop playing the music.
As for the flippant comment, regarding standing in the rain asking every fan their opinion. I feel there is a genuine need for the Trust to find more effective means to consult with the fans.
Electronically perhaps using this site and possibly Jim’s to produce a more comprehensive survey/questionnaire to look at the match day/music /pre-match, half time entertainment to look at ways of improving it. Someone on an earlier thread mentioned some of the positives of Man City which we could incorporate.
This wouldn’t cost a fortune and it would show that the trust continues to listen to its fans and look for new and innovative ways to engage with all Swans fans not just trust members. |

So I now sit on the East? and I'm a big idiot, as I don't agree with your opinion or find your sarcastic humour hillarious. Wonder why people have left this forum |

You would like to hear the music, as it would signal a goal,
Therefore it's really a goal you would like to see.
As I am no longer a trust member after the season ticket fiasco, I am unlikely to attend a forum.
If the stadium announcer is present in future, goal/matchday music on the agenda and the forum open to non members I would attend.
On a positive with the team doing so well on the pitch, it can't be too bad if that's all I got moan about. |

Phil just cause a few hundred people in the meeting werent bothered, doesnt mean that is representative of the whole of our fanbase.
I know many people who lost complete faith in the Trust after the first season que for 2 days, it doesn't matter if you have never been to the Swans before Premier League season ticket fiasco.
The people that weren't bothered, won't mind if it's turned off? |

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
I think you have made your point, yet you continue to constantly post on this topic adding nothing to the debate, only abusing fellow Swans fans that dare express a different opinion to you! Well done |

My original point doesn't refer to match day music. That isn't my issue, it's goal music. This didn't occur in the Vetch, appart from when Trundle scored they played a brief rendition of Queen's 'It's a Kind of Magic', before announcing his name as the scorer. |

Tom Hark by The Piranhas.
In certain areas of the ground (where the PA works better than others) it blasts over the sound of the crowd when we score.
Paticularly watching on TV it's all you hear. Why was this piece of music used I do not know? Its so bland and has nothing to do with SCFC and is also used by clubs that cannot generate a sound like Wigan. So it's not even unique to SCFC. It spoils any songs or chants happening directly after we score also.
Goal music has no tradition in the English pyramid, no place and adds nothing to the atmosphere.
As I said the announcer seems to have no accountability and the trust appears to have no control, even tho it spoils the atmosphere, particularly if you watch on TV. |

Why was there a need to play it?
It doesnt matter how much beer you've had or how good the goal was you can hear the song drowning out the noise of the crowd. If you watch it on the tv you don't hear the crowd very much at all.
The stadium is full, we have vocal fans and we don't need music as it doesn't do anything to help the atmosphere.
Why not turn it off? As I said who gave the decision to allow it? |

Where did I mention anything about being devastated? But it does detract from the atmosphere when we score.
It would be easier to play nothing.
Makes us look small time and unable to create an atmosphere to those watching worldwide on TV. Also the song has nothing what to do with SCFC |

What for expressing an opinion?
It was highlighted on here last time I raised it that it's unpopular with fans, yet nothing has been done about it. Which unlike the problems with the advertising boards or the new screens blocking peoples view, would be simple to fix. |
