So we are back to the same old same old after an improvement last week. What about a "dj shut up, dj shutup" chant. If there is enough of a crowd to make enough noise there is no way he can just ignore it! thought at last we were slowly starting to build a bit of atmosphere, then at the stop in play the DJ plays his crappy music and it all goes flat again, total waste of space

Last night was one of the first times I really got totally fed up with the music and the volume (I sit in section A)it was so bad I couldn't even talk to my dad who was sitting 2 seats from me, we actually gave up trying to talk at one point as we were having to shout to each other. That and some of the music was just bloody awful.

In section G last night actually found the volume level acceptable and was able to hold a conversation OK. Must have been section A's turn. Panthers fans actually got it right. We only sing when we are winning but that's because we have been worn down by lacklustre team and not being able to compete with the dj.

No. Section c was horrendous as well. This "dj" needs to tone it down a few notches.. Let the fans dictate the atmosphere please

Anyone got any idea why he played The Birdie Dance (also known as The Chicken Song) when Fitzgerald and Lee first squared off?
Fitzy went straight after Jeff as soon as they both got back on so I wouldn't like to think that it was a contributing factor. Mocking one of the leagues tough guys over the tannoy maybe isn't the smartest move though?

Instead of a long winded letter to the owners, why don't we have a simple yes or no vote to get rid of the DJ? Then send the results to the owners. Then if it's a majority yes, replace his children's play party songs with a modern up to date play list and the Kestrels DJ who would have little comments or needless input over the tannoy.

Apologies that was meant to say get rid of the current DJ and replace with the Kestrels DJ .

I'm staying at home and watching NHL instead, though they seem to be mucking around with fixtures too, limiting my Saturday night viewing further. I'll take the odd Flyers game, maybe one a month until it changes or I win the euro millions quadruple roll-over and i'll start my own team, you will all be welcome to attend of course

I will start by saying that I'm not a fan of the dj either however this forum seems to be a tad obsessed by slagging the guy off. He is obviously employed by the flyers and has a script to follow so is only doing his job. Not sure some of you guys would like to have your job scrutinised and personally ridiculed over a forum? Just saying.

When you are in the front line trenches and you stick your head up the snipers are waiting, i have no time for the guy regards his match night activities as imo he really loves the sound of his own voice which apart from at KIA i have heard him in an Ice Rink queue and on a supporters bus, he wants to command whatever situation he is in and its to be all about him, nothing against him personally mind you as i have never spoken to or had dealings with the man but he just has a negative effect on my Saturday night out and i wished he wasn't there.

Just saying. he's part of the organisation, just like the players, the coaches, the owners and all rink staff including ice-techs, catering, office staff, security, supporters club staff, all of whom have had it in the neck at some point on here.

Just saying. Don't think it's all a set script- plenty scope for stamping his personality on match-night. Only PA I've ever heard trying to start chants for the fans over the mic for instance. Swings and roundabouts- every bit of praise on the Twitter account will be retweeted, so he'll need to take the rough with the smooth. Also disagree anyone is 'obsessed'. It's part of the match night experience. Many Flyers fans think the heart is being ripped out of the club by people who don't 'get' the club and what makes the fans tick.

I think there are a handful of very vocal fans who dislike the DJ to the point of obsession. Tje rest of us are more tolerant. I think he is SLOWLY learning that when the fans get going, he shuts up and that is to his credit.
What is more important, in my opinion, is why was Geordie Munro not given any musical backing on his very welcome return last night. Thank goodness for the brilliant Section C who gave him a heroes welcome and sang the song. This section and their opposite section G fans are miles ahead of the other section despie being occupied by a healthy number of happy clappers. they all sing from the same hymn sheet - Oh Come All Ye Flyers."

One thing that really bugs me is that he announces during the game. Its off putting. I can accept finishing of a goal announcement, but roaring down the mic while the game is in progress "Lady in section H turn your camera flash off!!" is a no go!!
Im actually pretty sure its in the rule book that game night announcements should only be made during a stoppage in play or between periods but feel free to correct me.
