Plastic Clappers at Turf Moor

joey13 · Post by **joey13** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 8:21 am

The atmosphere at the Walkers stadium was very impressive surely it's just what we need at Turf Moor or maybe just for exclusive use in the Bob Lord , what do other posters think ?

I think we should bring Goal Music back. If it's good enough for the Champions of England....

We could also give out Jeff Hendrick masks to protest against his sending off.

I think dogs or Chico at half time would be better

Or a skydiver to land on the roof of the cricket field end!

Wow guys, all of these sound awesome improvements on what we have. Thanks to the original poster for opening such a serious discussion.

Flags. We definitely need massive flags behind the goal to wave in the air each time we score.

I'd prefer giant foam hands personally, if that's an option for the future?

Gladiator esc
We will, we will, rock you!
Could be sang at the start and at the end of each half, and we could even change the rock you, for beat you!
With easy storage under each seat.

Give Lee who's or Mike Baldwin an email.

How about a giant Balloon with a director tied on the end soaring above T' Turf!

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 9:42 am

It's all well and good joking about it but one director was pushing for those clappy things earlier this season.

No happy clappers or drums from me and certainly no return of the goal music thank you.

Jimscho · Post by **Jimscho** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 10:13 am

I think Vuvuzelas need bringing back.One free for every kid at the match.Perhaps also music like they do at cricket when a boundary is scored,for every time there is a corner or goal kick.

Didn't a Burnley rattle appear on Coronation Street a while ago.Roy Cropper I think was having problems with bats.He was using it to scare them off.

Seriously, I think we should have a live Tinned Food Count, performed on a table in the centre circle and with a close-up view on the big screen.

Just imagine the tension and excitement as each food-unit is Counted and the total number is approached!

Besides, how about we have the odd Rovers fan among us at every game just to take the p!ss, like sometimes we have on every thread on here?

It's a few years ago and Fred Elliott, I say Fred Elliott, loaned him the rattle. David Neilson, the actor who plays Roy Cropper was not happy about it apparently, he wanted a blue and white rattle because he's a big Leicester fan.

Just say no to:
happy clappers
those giant inflatable things they had at Rovers
crap rappers
bubble people
performing dogs
sky divers
Turfy Topper
The man in the golden suit
pie and peas / crossbar challenge
(Have I missed any?????)

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 10:34 am

Nothing wrong with peas, Mike.

Though garden ones are trickier than marrowfats.

I got the answer the wrong way round - it was Roy who loaned the rattle to Fred. Not sure now what wildlife was in Fred's loft but I don't think it was bats.

Get a drummer.
Then we also need to play crowd noise through the speakers at TM to make the atmosphere sound better then it is.

Reading are known for doing this with the speakers, it's also heavily rumoured Liverpool do it too.
Boro used to have a drummer I think, same as Bolton.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 10:58 am

Stoke are the most famous for the speakers in the crowd.

iluva64 · Post by **iluva64** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 11:15 am

I still have my rattle I made in woodwork, painted claret and blue.

We could get the schools to reintroduce them in to the curriculum

Harrythomsonscap · Post by **Harrythomsonscap** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 11:21 am

Can we have a bloke dressed up like a pie?

Top Claret · Post by **Top Claret** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 11:27 am

Do they still have the drummer bummer at Deadwood? or has he deserted them, like the rest of their plastic fans

Harrythomsonscap · Post by **Harrythomsonscap** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 11:56 am

I thought that Rodger The Dog was the half time mascot / entertainment @ Deadwood

Guitargeorge · Post by **Guitargeorge** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 1:24 pm

I had my grandmas air raid bell in the sixties. People would offer money for me to move to the other end!

Those of us that have been labelled 'Happy Clappers' would object stringently to having to contend with Plastic Clappers who will probably disappear if we were relegated -- unless we put a retainer on them.

Walking to the Bristol City game I thought I'd run a few rhetorical questions at my Son (he's 17).

"How about bringing back the goal music" - "NO!"
"How about getting a drummer in" "NO!"
"How about some of those plastic blow-up things you bang together" "NO!"
"How about bringing back that 'Burnley Football Club' song they used to play at the end of the promotion season in 2009" "NO!"
"How about bringing back the Pie and Chips Challenge" "YES!"

We both agreed that 'Pie and Chips' should be reinstated! Top drawer half-time entertainment - totally baffling to away fans born south of Watford Gap!

I thought this thread was going to be about people clapping who were only on the Turf because we're in the Premier League.

You managed to pull them out then ?

Picture this, two St John's Ambulance men carrying a stretcher with a fan led face down with a plastic clapper half protruding out of his bottom.

Provided by and paid for by the club of course and waved in unison for a regulation one minute after the goal is scored - not some crappy, non-corporate, spontaneous, energetic, heartfelt flag waver in the grubby crowd. That wouldn't do would it.

I'd love to know if there have been any complaints about the lack of goal music, this season. I'm yet to see an unhappy child who "loved the goal music", when we score.

Slightly biased perhaps but it seems to have been a resounding success.

Brooky · Post by **Brooky** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 6:55 pm

How about scantily clad cheerleaders, 18 year old plus, entertaining the troops throughout the match on on the three sides of the ground that they won't risk causing heart failures. Bob Lorders can have the happy clapper things to entertain themselves.

. thinks at half time there should be kids playing those 5-a-side games across half the pitch. He remembers the excitement in the school the full week leading up to the Saturday when the school team or a local team a few of the lads or lasses played for were going to be playing on The Turf. He recalls even those not playing we're excited for it. He thinks it could perhaps even get a few more coming along to watch.

. appreciates the 5-a-side game would not be brilliant to watch but it gives those kids playing great joy about their 15 minutes of fame.

A bell or better yet a brass band is the way forward...
