I assumed it was only me being a miserable old man but, I go to the game to watch rugby everything else is a distraction. Please go back to the ref out then the away team. Make them wait & then the home side come out to hopefully a bit of noise. I would prefer them to warm up out of site as well. But I suppose the sponsors want their piece of the limelight. Coming out together for internationals & finals are different as it highlights that it is something special.

Quote: meast "might be a bit gimmicky, but that's exactly the kind of thing that's missing in the modern, sterile, game.'"

Not for me. It had a bit of theatre about it for the first few players. Then after five or six you'd be thinking 'okay, let's get on with it'. By the time the subs from the second team out were being introduced everyone was cringing to death.

Personally I'm a believer in letting the rugby speak for itself. Some games are naturally more low key than others, and that's fine with me. They can't all be big matches. When there's a lot at stake and there's anxiety and tension about what's about to take place, you get a big game atmosphere. Trying to manufacture one with American-style hype and dramatic anticipation music just comes across as desperate to me.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this but on the subject of livelier build ups to games, hull tonight we are having a lightshow and they are handing out glow sticks and playing music so loud tour eardrums burst. Did it last home match minus the glow sticks so maybe its becoming a thing, dunno, any how it is a bit more exciting.

Isn't it always at night in hull? Haha will be chaos tomorrow when KR and City are playing as well as it being an average Friday night. Rugby fighting football, football fighting each other, rugby and rugby stood around not understanding why football fight so much, normal average bogans getting involved, PARTY!! icon_biggrin.gif

Officials come out
Away team runs out
Home team runs out
Rugby game is played.

Simple as that.

No slow walk out with teams together, no line of kids, no line up that serves no purpose at all, no daft lights out/flashing lights gimmick, and while we're at it can every ground turn the ridiculously loud music down n'all?!

I'm not a boring old sod. I enjoy being off my face and having my head in the speakers at the front of the dance floor at 3am whilst watching a DJ set. but not at the rugby. At the rugby the music being so loud so you can't hear the bloke next to you does nothing. It doesn't build an atmosphere, it's just daft.

KILL THE CHEESE! I'm there to watch the rugby!

That last time should be Super League's tag line.

Officially RLFAN's most Doe-eyed Happy Clapper. Big Steve wrote: The Internet has provided some wonderful creativity, opportunities and knowledge sharing but it has also given a worldwide forum for people you would leave a full pint behind in the pub to avoid having to listen to them. aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg

well said, Wigan is especially bad with the loud music, it it any wonder the atmosphere is dead at Wigan home games, most people just probably want to get some peace and quiet after that!
apparently it's what the "new fans" want so we have to go with it.
don't get the lights thing either, Hull City did it last night at the football....why??

It would appear to be the RFL as it's at both televised and non-televised games.

Seems a bit silly to me. Not entirely sure what they're lining up for.
