As someone who's stood and sat this year, I can assure you it's the whole stadium that has issues. You can either hear the muffled sounds on the terraces and not catch a bloody word anyone says, or you can sit in the Provident Stand and be deafened by pre match music to the point you can't hear any announcements made later due to the ringing in your ears.



Pssst. It's not called Teenage Wasteland. It's Baba O'Riley

I don't want to knock the kids that are in the new dance team. They're doing their best. TBH I go for the main event anyway rather than the pre match and the dancing.

The only thing that's got on my nerves was the playing of music while play is going on. That should not happen at all. By all means play it after a try is scored if you must but playing it after a big hit or during a lull in play "to get the crowd going" will only annoy and embarrass supporters.

I think it's because he seems to think he has to eat the microphone whilst shouting into it for it to work.

Like a few years ago and we had the charge trumpet playing as the oppo kicked off, classy.

The other question about the cheerleaders they where from panache dance academy and i believe the person who runs is is Robin Morrison who is married to Glenn, makes it pretty likely that they are at dewsbury and im sure we will get an announcement on sunday saying the same.

Heh, I'd forgotten the Morrison connection.

So now that we've sacked his wife...

Robyn runs the Panache Dance school which is where the Bullettes trained and, so far as I know, so do the Rebels.

The new group seem much younger and less experienced, so I guess don't ask as much to perform...and clearly feel the cold more than the Bullettes, but are still trained by Robyn....

as far as I know panache are doing cheerleading for bradford city this year. Pretty certain they've been doing dewsbury too for a couple of years. Cant help but wonder if it will affect morrisons thoughts if we do get rid of lowes and try to bring him in, having not renewed one of his wifes companies main contracts.

Yeah, just had a look at their website. Says City and Dewsbury Rams. Doesn't mention us.

Were the Bullettes ever paid for their time?

Green seems a little tight fisted to me so I wouldn't be surprised if the current troop are voluntary.

Good point that, depends on how much she earnt from the club, I dont really pay attention to the pre-game but the Bullettes were miles better than the Rebulls (groan) if they are voluntary then let them have at it but if we are funding I dont see what they add to the game.

It is comical on a windy day when the flags they have blow and wrap them up, they cant seem to figure it out.

I'd prefer entertainment during the game.

All I will say is that against Sheffield, when we finally scored, and they played the music, that was one of the most embarrassing things ever.

The most embarrassing part is when we get a penalty and they play the Queen track We will Knock on.

At least we don't get a loud click and then piped in crowd noise like we used to.

Oh, absolutely - last thing you want when you're getting tanked is a burst of celebratory music. Embarrassing, yeah, dead right, toe curling.
