Edstar101 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Please stop this running with the ball from the half way line rubbish. Listening to the inane countdown over the loudspeakers is just annoying, and the whole thing is pointless. I, personally, don't give a jot about half time entertainment and rarely pay any attention to it whatsoever. However, if it is about kids getting a buzz from being involved and getting on the pitch at half time, I like what Hearts do...just quickly set up a couple of pitches and let the kids have a kickabout for 10 minutes.....something to watch, kids enjoy it, no annoying "10...9...8...7....etc etc" followed by ironic cheers Baiggers, andrew, PauloPerth and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Cheerleaders before ko and at half time. Gives Bev, Hayley, Hazel, Gerty, Betty & Co something to do ! Or maybe at the end so the ground clears quicker allowing the staff to get home earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintie Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 To capitalise on the Cup win how about a one off pre-match celebration. For the first home game of the season (on a Saturday), how about Saints put up marquee showing the cup final in full starting at 12pm?Refreshments available (chance for Inveralmond Brewery to do some more blue pints). Charge a £5 a ticket and imagine the buzz of going into McD memories fully refreshed of that great day, and what a way to get the crowd in the mood for the game ahead. ejksjfc, Aitchy, perthandproud and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think saints should get a boxing ring an anybody who has issues with anyone else on here has the right to have a "square go" with them... Only way to win is by knock out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templar Saint Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Let the manager know his budget so he can sign the 3 more players he wants. Fine any player howfin the ball up the park instead of playing to feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids doing it are far too young and can barely kick the ball the length of themsleves, the keeper tries to let it in, the constant countdown etc has been pissing me off for years. Kids would have much more fun, like you say, playing a game of 7 a side or whatever whilst some music is played over the tannoy.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 The kids could do a 'who can collect a through ball from Gary MacDonald' competition instead. *hides* franco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldPoster Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Why not have some of the Junior Saints who go to the training sessions on a Saturday morning play a 4 v 4 game on the pitch with the pop up goals for 10 minutes at half time? Its easy to set up 6 cones as a boundary and the pop ups. It would have the young lands being able to say they have played a game on the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupy76 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 It's even more cringeworthy when they get the Dads involved. Cringeworthy yes!! But the kids love it. The super j's should get a runaround at half time. Not much room to swing a cat in the gym. If this was promoted as part of super j package it could add to value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy76 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Sorry . The countdown is cringeworthy. So is watching the dad's breath out their arse after running the length of themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Having a decent sound system with some charisma behind it would be an idea. Most of what comes across is unintelligible, and the bits that I can work out or monotonous crap. No more playing bloody Avicii records either. Christ. I'm old enough to remember when the scoreboard worked. Why not get that working again and hook it up to social media like they do at festivals? Get some banter on the go etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some banter on the go etc. I'm not sure about the idea of the scoreboard linked to Social media. Can you imagine stuff going up there like " you're rubbish MacDonald" "Millar, you're a waste of a shirt" or mothers putting up stuff about how much they love their kids.
