There may be some people who can see merit in the "music" we were subjected to at half time yesterday, but Nom de Plume and I drew the conclusion that, if it was a showcase for local talent, then that commodity is in very short supply.
It might have been less appalling had it not been deemed necessary to "pump up the volume" to a level that made conversation difficult, and which more or less constituted noise pollution.
If Trafford Council showed their ugly faces unexpectedly, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see further sanctions against the club on that basis.

It did seem louder than usual at ht, but the music was ok. I hadn't heard it before, I'd give it another go.
-
Tell.someone your old and dull without telling someone you're dull and old.
I love the playlists.
-
Being the member of a local musical outfit and long standing Alty fan, I was wondering who it might be I need to contact to investigate the possibility of some half time airplay? Any idea who I speak to?
I don’t imagine this will be an improvement on yesterday however…

With you on this.
Call me old fashioned, but HT music should be about light entertainment for us punters and not somewhere to showcase unsigned bands....there are other places for that
Too loud also
-
Put that music on in the fan zone when it's up and running and leave us old codgers with the light entertainment?! 📢🏟️😁😁

Without getting into an interminable argument regarding musical taste, surely the compromise here is just to turn the volume down a bit? It's not Bowlers in 1995. ;D
-
Nothing wrong with the music but it was to loud. That combined with the school kids who on this occasion could’ve done with their responsible adults/teachers having them under a little more control at times did send me home with a headache. Fortunately, this is the first time I’ve experienced this with any schools attending.

To quote Pete, it's not a tea dance.

Let me take you back just a few years when you could hardly hear what was being said over the tannoy system.
Nowadays it practically make your ears bleed
I’m sure there is a happy medium somewhere with the volume knob.

Feral kids making a din seems the norm nowadays, give em a bag of chips and a fizzy drink and watch them go….

It's not The Prodigy live at G-Mex either, though, is it?
It's unlikely to impact upon me any time soon, but if it's loud enough that you can't hear someone who's stood next to you (in this kind of setting) then it's probably too loud.
For what it's worth, I really like the initiative.

You've beaten me to it.
I was just going to post something along those lines! 😂😂
Having said that, it's better to be going on like this whilst the performances of the team speak for themselves.. 😎

And that is EXACTLY the point I'm trying to make.
-
Should tune in to Radio Robins at HT instead. Usually some great tunes as witnessed Saturday, when we were treated to some Undertones for example!!
-
Agreed, where else can you hear Rush??!!
-
Just play Emerson, Lake and Palmer Fanfare for the Common Man, that's not far short of ten minutes, just time for Ashley Mowers adverts. Lovely.
-
As someone who suffers badly from anxiety I find loud music highly stressful (one disadvantage of success at ML is bigger crowds - not good for me!)
-

What about the stoppers?

Well for those who were getting a bit worried about results, a song for Parky and Sorves. Oasis Stand by me! SBL:

If we turn this marketing experiment on its head and ask “where can I play original new music on a sound system which is completely wrong for the full frequency spectrum so the nuances of the music is completely lost; to a demographic audience which is largely disinterested and which is attempting to undertake an objective which is at odds with playing of said music, and made even more difficult the louder and more distorted the music is. I want this to have the desired effect of alienating the audience to my music.”
Bingo! Half-time at Moss Lane fits the bill perfectly.

I'd rather have local up and coming bands than crappy chart music

God, there's some miserable buggers on here.

You could always have Simon Cowell's playlists????
EG greatest HIT of the x factor show.

can we have stoppers in the eagerly awaited fan zone ?

Not at all. However, when I go to a football match it's about football first and foremost. I used to enjoy the half-time penalty competitions, the crossbar challenge, the kids games we sometimes saw. Music is a LONG way down the desirability list, and certainly when it's cranked up so loud that conversation is difficult. The three showcased musical offerings on Saturday ? The first one wasn't all that bad, the last one would have been better if the singer interpreted the song better - but the one in the middle was utter sh*te, and if I heard it ever again it would be too soon.
Meanwhile, I might contact the Manchester Arena and ask if they fancy staging sport related entertainment in the gap between the support act and the headliners. Then again, maybe not - I can guess the answer.

If you enjoy watching kids kick a ball about at half time rather than listen to some bands that's definitely something a bit fishy

Explain please.

Not really bothered whether or not music is played over the PA at HT, and I think it was OTT on Saturday. I'd be dead against the introduction of other non-football entertainment though, particularly at HT. If punters need something other than the football to get them to come along, then its likely that football is simply not for them.

Think you're tiptoeing over the line there.
-
Can we all just agree that we should never, under any circumstances, start playing music when a goal is scored. Of all the ills in the modern game that is one of the worst!!

Yeah. Time to sink this thread.
I love thrash metal, but would never expect to be played at ML. We all have different tastes in music.
And to watch kids on the pitch at HT having fun in front of the crowd is better than any Megadeth gig (but only just)...cos we are a family club and this is the next generation which is important. And my son played football (kinda badly) at Hale United, but one of my pleasures in life was watching him try with his mates to achieve something great.
Anyway that's my opinion. Others may differ :)

Unless its Tournado of Souls by Megadeth, in which case its Game On :)))

WTF......how disrespectful to one of our loyal fans.....as orhers have said best kill this thread and just turn the volume down so we can discus what we have just watched

How do you stand on drums?

Playing music after goals is bad sportsmanship, our club would never sink that low.
Especially Tom Hark by the Piranhas.

I don't think it's bad sportsmanship, I just find it tacky.

Just catching up with the forum so apologies for bringing this thread back up, but my two pence - the initiative to showcase local music at half time is fantastic and it's based on a longstanding synergy between football and indie music. I love it, the music in recent months has been much improved and it's definitely part of my match day experience.
That said, please can we turn the volume down a few notches? It was painfully loud at the last couple of home games, particularly at half time. Everyone's a winner then.
-
Absoluely agree that the volume needs to be less.

Pump it right up to 11.

Anything from the Beswick Prize Band will do.

No complaints from me tonight. The volume was better, and the music was a step up from last weekend. I've not quite turned into my dad yet.

I used to be at maine Road too! 😂😂

I couldn't hear the music tonight, but did we attempt. To play the Ukrainian national anthem?

I was humming it all the way home. Catchy.

Volume much better.

The fact I couldn't hear what was playing other than a brass band suggests otherwise.

Don't think it helps that the sound varies depending where you're standing. It was very loud on the popular side for example.

What I assume was the Ukrainian National Anthem was indeed quiet - most likely due to the source being recorded at a low level and then played back without adjusting the amplifier volume. The rest of the output from the sound system was plenty loud enough.
We were able to hold a converstion at half-time without resorting to lip-reading and sign language. We even conversed about the 45 minutes football we’d just watched. What a novelty.
However, if you want to turn it down another notch on the Pop Side for CB, that’s fine by me.
