About as annoying as when the announcer gives each of them a nickname to go with it. And then the name of the sponsor. The nicknames tend to get dropped when a team starts losing more than winning.

Ooh, saucy!

T' Steam Pigs had at least one season when the players came out individually to their own self chosen music. It took forever and exposed an incredibly terrible taste in music.

Can you imagine if Jean Crapdoze was the announcer, we'd be here till Xmas

I think the nicknames would get better after a run of defeats, 'butterfingers', 'turnstile' and ' for brains' would make a decent front row of nicknames! Bring it back!!

But I agree, bring the teams out one at a time, no music, just the crowd noise. That would intimidate a few, especially at the grounds like Cas where you're right on top of the pitch!

Indeed. It was painful. Only lasted a few games, if I remember rightly. The margin meter of its day.

Interestingly enough, that's the same smell I experienced walking through the Wheldon Road End 2 weeks ago.

I hate the modern way, it totally ruins the pre match atmosphere and build up etc.

there was nothing better than booing the opposition onto the field and cheering your boys onto it, the atmosphere built up from that. these days most people are just sat down waiting for the game to start by the time all the standing around looking bored and confused is done.
i appreciate it's for the kids etc etc but it's e!

Perhaps a bit disrespectful but a few years back I remember Trinity playing music to suit the away team when they ran out. eg Salford ran out to the Coronation Street theme.
I'm sure someone could have a bit of fun with that concept.

Yeh I think the build up to the teams coming out should be more dramatic. I would like 'hungry like the wolf' played at some point for wire games.

Good topic. Running out one team at a time is a great little earmark for our game and should return. Great during big derby games particularly.

Christmas

Can't the players be made to lead more kids onto the field? The current total of 34 adds very little to the spectacle.
