Goal music and clap banners

[Guest Fox99]

It's clear to me and a sizeable amount of the fanbase that the current goal music and use of clap banners has negatively impacted the reputation of LCFC. This is why I recently sent an email to the club with detailed feedback on these two subjects, in which I urged them to reconsider their current matchday experience offering. I also suggested a survey on goal music, which is an effective way of gauging the overall opinion of the fans and is something other clubs have done in the past.

 

Like many others, I'm of the opinion there needs to be a reset off the pitch especially as we head into next season in the league below. It goes without saying that for the best chance of any changes being made on home match days, there has to be enough people lobbying the club who strongly oppose goal music and clappers like myself. As I understand it, there hasn't been a definite decision on the latter going into the next campaign but the close season provides an ideal time for the club to make adjustments.

Waste of time.

Club doesn't listen to fans and too many people will clap and sing to whatever they play. 

A few moaning they don't like it won't change anything.

Against both but if they insist on clappers they should have collect your own, if only because of the ridiculous amount of waste.

Which by the way is the argument against them they may actually pay attention to. Someone should write a sting article on the environmental impact of clappers.

Just another example of how far out of touch the club has drifted from the fans. Can only hope someone at the club stubbles across these sort of poles.

"Ooh but how are we meant to celebrate a goal if we can't be directed how to clap along"

More likely to have a large 'pole' stuck up their arris than stubble across these polls.

who the fuch said yes to goal music

[Mickyblueeyes]

West Ham fans mocking the goal music was so funny.

I don’t really care. It’s just people getting annoyed because of how they think it makes us look. It’s just music at the end of the day.

[themightyfin]

Much bigger things to worry about in life 

[urban.spaceman]

In recent times I've become a lot more in favour of whatever winds up the most people at the same time, however in this case I've always really hated goal music (except for maybe the Radio Leicester siren I grew up with, I can cope with that) and am not a fan of the clappers.

 

Time for the club to stop them both IMO.

[Nod.E]

Not too arsed about clappers either way. 

 

The goal music, however, is worse than just a personal dislike for the song. It is self evidently an embarrassment. Every opposition team rightly mocks us for it. 

 

I've said it before but if us scoring a goal is 10/10 euphoria, the goal music knocks me down to a 7 or a 6. Difficult to be in the moment when you're actively p*ssed off about sh*te music being blasted at you at deafening levels. 

 

Aside from that, I genuinely think there's a psychological drawback and impact on team performance. It'd be difficult to test and prove, but I'm sure we'd do better on the pitch if fans were allowed to build momentum and 'get up' following a goal. The goal music stops that. We fall silent after goals, almost a collective moment of recovery as we fiddle with our ears to see if they still work.

I give up worrying about what other people thought when I was about 12. 

 

I don't care either way.

The fact it makes us look idiotic is an afterthought. It is thoroughly painful to endure, and that's the primary motivation for wanting it stopped.

So you won't mind if I pipe Benny Hill into your room every time you and Mrs Dusty get it on, then? It's just music.

[Simoken]

We actually had clappers for my local Village Team on Saturday night…. Did the trick though as they won the game and are Champions.  

[The Doctor]

Dislike goal music, clappers I can take or leave, but should be a collection point if you want one

[StanSP]

Get rid of goal music. 

 

If we're gonna have anything (apart from natural raw fan celebrations), have the announcer say the first name and the crowd say the surname of the goalscorer. Happens naturally sometimes with Vardy but that's about it. 

 

Hear it all the time in European grounds. Would be much better than music. 

 

 

 

As for clappers, meh. I don't use them and would rather they give them out to those that actually want them at specific points in the ground. 

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Nothing saps the energy from a goal celebration like the looming threat of VAR or goal music, or both as a duo. (Oddly I didn't feel as much this way when we had "Fire", maybe it just seemed less opposed to the flow of a goal celebration). 

 

Also while I was "meh" regarding other fans having clappers so long as they're kept out of the singing section, the amount they drowned out the singing towards the tail end of this season really started to grate on me.

 

So yeah I'd get rid of both tomorrow now.

[Devonfox1884]

Goal music - depends on the song. Never minded ‘Fire’ but don’t like the current dross.

 

Clappers - don’t personally use them but don’t mind them generally as it gets more people involved in the atmosphere at times.

[Fox92]

I voted no to both but tend to agree with @Devonfox1884 post.

 

[Leicesterpool]

Only make clap banners available from the club shop

 

Get rid of "when your smiling" or make alternative version... not the current crap one.
