I've not been there for a while, but from the highlights, sounds like we have a new goal buzzer/music combo which (via youtube at least) sounds terrible? Am I just picking that up wrong? - Also, do we have an end of period buzzer yet?

I was disappointed on Saturday just after Broony pulled off a great save and the crowd were cheering. A Broony Broony chant started up and was immediately silenced by Its a kind of magic played full belt. This chanting would have really boosted Broonys confidence ( we are always being told how important this is !!) But stopped in its tracks. This has been the problem ever since this guy took over as DJ/ Announcer! This clown is part of 'The Flyers Clique', so I don't believe for one second that neither him or someone he knows reads this forum. So either he is refusing to make any changes because his ego is too big or because he is too f*****G stupid. Todd always goes on about players not following instruction etc. Probably because they can’t hear anything on the bench lol Surely something can be done about this. Isn’t right that one man’s stupidity can ruin the night for so many others

Sadly I think we all know that he won't change no matter how many people mention it he's either clueless or doesn't care what paying fans say I'm going with a bit of both the man thinks he's more important than the on ice product

I think that there shouldn't be any music played at all during game time. Period breaks only and maybe if there's a big hold up on the ice for whatever reason.
Let the atmosphere in the rink build naturally without all of this make some noise nonsense. There would be a better atmosphere without a DJ I think.

Completely agree that there is too much music and it is mostly way too loud but now that the atmosphere has been ruined. As others are saying, it's not just music that's the problem, this announcer is constantly yelling drivel over the mike at a volume that's impossible to ignore. I have only been to one match this season, mainly due to coaching/tactics, but this is also a big part of staying away. It is mind numbingly boring having to sit during breaks with cr@p music playing so loud that you can't talk to the people around you. The social side of the night out has gone for me.

Can I put a different slant on it??
Perhaps he is just following instruction? Has been told what messages to say/read out? Are they trying to emulate what is done at Clan?? Common denominator -Kirsty??
For what its worth, I think the match night experience has deteriorated in the last few seasons. I agree with everything that's been said previously. I think that alot of the drivel he says is orchestrated though.

Anyone want to bet against the drivel level increasing this week since we're on the TV?

This chanting would have really boosted Broonys confidence ( we are always being told how important this is !!) But stopped in its tracks. Also when the team are skating round at the end on their lap of honour, they dont need a song played to them, they need cheers and shouts from the crowd to give them that feel good factor. Its mentioned nearly every week by Todd or the players, so sadly we cant compete with the Music or announcements through our cheers. So true. Broony was about to get a massive ovation and he would have loved it. The music at the end is horrific - it works well at the START of Scottish rugby games but is not an ice hockey tune. While I'm at it- I hate that 'you know what to do Flyers fans' and then Runrig song. Brutal.

How many times will he have the volume turned up full and play a song for it to bellow out and make everyone keek their pants before turning it down a few notches seconds later!!

He said on Twitter he has no control over points 1,2 and 4..... Aye right He probably is doing what he is told to. Presumably TM enjoys the match night experience, as he is not changing it, and he is the only one with the power to make changes. As I have said before the Fife Flyers is his toy and he'll play with it in whichever way he chooses, and to hell with the mugs (sorry I meant to say customers) who pay their entry fee week in week out.

I've signed this although I have reservations over the rather personal nature of the wording. I won't be back until I hear reports that it's a bit quieter. I don't mind what is said as long as it's quieter.
