Goal Music 10:54 - Aug 3 with 3142 viewsgingerranger

So I've just been pondering the subject of goal music at Loftus Road. I've always thought it was needless and naff, but I was wondering if there is anyone who actually is in favour of it? I'm sure most of us are fans of pigbag, (but I'm not trying to debate that), but do we actually need it blared out every time a goal is scored to dictate to us how we should celebrate? If we score away from home and pigbag suits the mood, then we manage just fine on our own without a PA system pumping it out. Why can't we decide on and make the atmosphere at HQ?

I'd be interested to see if anyone likes it. But I suspect almost all of us think it's dumb. And if my suspicions are correct, surely we can do something about it? Ie. a bunch of us write to club, or bring it up at the next appropriate meeting with the club. I appreciate it's not as important as the water pressure in the ladies pissers though.

Maybe we should only play the music when the away side scores. That would confuse them.

I'm with you. We can sing it ourselves if we want to, without the need for forced plastic atmosphere.

It is true that the only time we don't need help to get an atmosphere is when we've just scored a goal but I think it serves two purposes:-

1. It extends the goal celebration noise by a good 20 seconds.
2. It annoys the away fans more than just a standard cheer.

I vote remain. (Not Pigbrexit.)

Instead of music, the club should encourage everyone to blog about their feelings at that moment. It's the future, I tell you.

I used to really love the Emerson Lake and Palmer track ' Fanfare of the Common Man' , which used to blare out when the players ran on to the pitch , for a spell under the Richard Thompson Era .

The melodious Prog and art house Rock sounds of a band that had broken up 15 years previously really captured the zeitgeist of the times, 1994, and won the hearts and minds of our younger fans who were on the cusp of britpop and furthermore, was in no way at all patronising to the QPR fans being common. I dont know what the club were fackin well thinking with that one.

I can just about handle 'pigbag' i suppose, but i just find music at football a bit crap.

What about score cards (1-10) a la Strictly?

What you're talking about with the blog is a kind of 'rate your experience' thing, or is it a bit deeper than that? - more to the point, are we allowed to make our feelings know (score card / blog / otherwise) if a player misses an open goal?

To this day the tunes of Mott the Hoople ring in my ears, a lasting memory of walking across the Loft terracing in the 79's.
