The singer we had a few weeks back, the one with the cracking pins. I want her back, every week.

Didn;t see her, but a decent singer is the one thing that is well appreciated, whether it is a tenor or the girl from the talent comp.

If they had a very good singer on each week (not somebody singing their own song which nobody has heard) then people may make the effort a little early to watch it.

It's one of the reasons I moved to the MD Stand this year, so I could go in at the last minute and not have to put up with the dross inside.

We need to get some local bands/talent in to cover well know songs that will get the crowd singing along. Something that everyone knows, not just the old folks, or just the kids.

The young lass I mentioned looked so good through binoculars (not my binoculars before anyone starts)

I don't even want to be entertained though. From the moment I get in there, I watch the players warm up, when I see them go in pre-match, in my head that's 5 mins to go. Then at HT, I stand there, think about a few things that have happened, talk about who's been good, moments etc, then they run back out. That's it.

Any singing & stuff, just means that I have to speak louder to the person next to me.

I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that, but the odd time when they have had a decent act on, they have gone down really well, and it is good.

Watching the warm up is quite stressful at the moment, as you have to keep an eye out for the ball coming towards your pint. Can't they sod off and do their kicking practice at the other end!!!

I used to like watching the junior rugby at half time. I don't know why they stopped doing it. The kids must get a massive boost from playing on the haliwell pitch.

Shame idiots like RL Lover can't see that aswell, and just pass off Junior Rugby as boring.

We need music over the tanoy, just music, no singers. What happened to the old kill bill style music we used to have pre-game, we used to play better if we played that before the game
