Match Day Experience

[colne-claret]

Lots of change over the summer…

New PA system
New stadium layout
New access points
New big screen videos
New walk out music
Digital season tickets

What did we all think?

PA system was a good upgrade, arguably a bit too loud but I’m not going to be that pedantic

Layout hasn’t affected me as I’m in the upper tier of Jimmy Mac, it was busier coming out but nothing drastic for me. How was it for everyone in the JH?

I thought the final media they played before kick off was good, with the violin no nay never, I can’t understand why they didn’t play that as a walk out song or just before the game kicked off. The song they choose to play was bizarre.

Have they started saving pie mash and peas? Looked like a guy near me had that.

Perhaps they need to fix the floodlights before Tuesday night

Some positive stuff and I’m sure things that aren’t great for everyone. More importantly, a great win.

New PA system- much improved
New stadium layout- fine but really isolated CFS
New access points- seemed smooth enough
New big screen videos- hadn’t even noticed .
New walk out music- fine I suppose
Digital season tickets- few hiccups but will settle

[LincsWoldsClaret]

New PA system - too loud and bassy
New stadium layout - great for away fans
New access points - a complete shambles
New big screen video - v good esp. the fiddle version of NNN
New walk out music - excellent - although I did expect the Lone Ranger to appear
Digital season tickets - didn’t use them
Floodlights - might need to test them a little
Pies - have already complained to the club
Bag searches - we’re in the Longside stand - it’s too far from the pitch to throw anything.

Blasting out goal music, for the goal to be then disallowed was a personal highlight……along with the light show

[GetIntoEm]

Haffners pies were shite. Bring back the chicken balti

My only gripe. Not even got the peppered steak pie to fall back on.

Mid-match light shows are the future.

The pa was a nightmare far too loud

I agree. It's the soundtrack to one of the most iconic shoot outs in movie history.

[Aclaret]

We won 2-0 that'll do for my match day experience. UTC.

I couldn’t care a monkeys about the so called “Match Day Experience” . All I want to do is drive there, park up, have a leisurely walk to the ground down the route I’ve always taken before this latest fiasco, watch the game, walk back along the same route that I came in on, get to the car and have a safe journey home. Not a lot to ask really is it Mr Pace.

Exactly, why are football club owners obsessed with everything having to be an experience? Save experiences for day trippers and tourists and let regular match going fans attend games without hassle and being made to feel like they are second class citizens. Modern owners almost seem to be waging war against ‘legacy fans’ as we appear to be able to organise our own days without the need to buy tat or overpriced food.

You can do all of those things. You just have to take a different route. Hardly a massive issue

I’ve never really paid much attention to the ticket split in the CFS before, but what struck me today was that we now appear to have given away fans more tickets in there.

The home section in the CFS over the last few season has often had empty seats, even in the PL, and I wonder if all this change is really about is getting more ticket revenue into the club. The away section is going to be a sell out most games this season.

There was me thinking we'd be happy after today's win

We've had it before and it was always a favourite of mine, this needs to last now

[Garnerssoap]

Pie peas and gravy from the kiosk at the side of the park view - excellent
Jaidon Anthony rounding the keeper - belting
Pints of ‘tropical’ real ale in the cricket club after the game and watching leeds collapse - super
A good day

I’d wondered if we had to increase the away end due to premier league rules and we’ve just sold it as upgrading match day experience…probably wrong though

[Vintage Claret]

No problem with access to and rom the BL stand today., HP Way seemed busier but nothing that had any impact as we made our way towards the town centre after the final whistle.

Only negative 'matchday experience ' (apart from the unintentional disco light show mid match which due to my vision issues I had to shield from) was the blaring PA system /goal music -it really was deafeanly loud and I came away with a headache.

On a positive note the home support singing around the ground did sound better/louder and more widespread than before (though obviously the scoreline helped)

[Burnleyareback2]

Enjoyed the light show and enjoyed getting home 20mins earlier than normal.

[Clovius Boofus]

Played well and took all three points - that's the best 'match day experience'.

They got 2,200 ish which has been the standard allocation for a long while now.

[turfytopper]

The PA system from my seat was excruciatingly loud

[123EasyasBFC]

Have to say I were a big fan of the new western style player walkout music.

[Murger]

I could feel the vibrations from the PA system in the Jimmy Mc upper.
Plus, £5 for a pie, £7.65 for pie, mash, peas and gravy. Nah.

[Tufty]

Nothing stays the same ... things evolve. We've moved on from 10,000 fans all ******* up against a gents urinal built for 20 people. Well done Mr Pace for your bold move.

[Burnleyareback2]

The good:
No nay never on the violin- goose bumps and dare I say should be louder.
The bad
Kyle walker song- this lad plays for us FFS

And back home 20mins earlier

It will take days to get over my extra ling walks!
