I see it's been mentioned on another thread but does anyone know exactly what's gone on with the pre match build up this season?! It was never the greatest compared to other rinks (partly understandable) but it's like we're actually trying to make it as farcical as possible at the moment. Do they want to start every game with the crowd sitting in stunned silence? It's so we don't get too excited so that when our depleted squad are on the end of a battering, we don't leave too disappointed!

The bounty still stands. Even a wee nudge on the stairs. We could have a new DJ in no time. It's sooooo tempting.

Brilliant on Saturday with 2 teams skating out at the same time, how thick can these people be. I'm not confident that we'll have this co-ordinated for the weekend either. Some of the behind the scenes staff don't seem to be sure about what day the game is on. Below has been on the official facebook page for the past 4 hours despite numerous comments from fans...

The clubs social media output is by far the worst in the league, spelling mistakes and nonsense like today's post from our official Facebook page, it should have been removed immediately, and unbelieveably, was there for some time, even as Finchy says, fans were pointing out the error. I despair.
On the entrance music, I don't mind Hysteria, but I've long tried to compile a match-night playlist for the club, but may well be shot to pieces over taste. Here goes anyway...
A Typical match-night at FIA
Doors open-Ice cut: Music (old/new mix) (strictly no 'Gangnam Style') Line Ups, Other fixtures that night etc
Ice cut ends: Lights down, Siren/Thunderbird countdown etc
Referees & mascot enter the ice: Rob Dougan-Clubbed To Death
Minimal announcement for visiting team (it does happen elsewhere in the league, see Belfast) no need for any fan-fare.
Flyers enter the ice: Hysteria/Whatever the chosen entrance music is. I must admit, I've never been a fan of the long walk the Flyers have onto the ice, seems to sook any momentum that would be built up a bit, I much preferred the BNL entrance out of the timekeepers tunnel IMO, got the desired effect. Not a lot that can be done about that at present.
National Anthem: Simply a better version than what we have now.
During the game: Music only played through a lengthy break in play, no need to have 10 second blasts IMO.
Goal Horn: Simply a better actual horn, we have adopted Buffalos music 'Let Me Clear My Throat' which sounds ok, just a better sounding fog horn needed.
End of periods: An actual buzzer that signals the end of periods clearly.
During period breaks, I'd like to hear latest scores from around the league. I just don't see a problem with that.
End of the game: MOM and some special presentations, and have the guys skate off to Heroes by Bowie.
This is all just my opinion of course, I don't know what tools the DJ has for the job and what he's allowed or not, I just feel we should have a proper MC, decked out in club tie etc. Similar to Craig Stephen in the BNL days. The DJ should be completely separate from announcer to me. I have no axe to grind with the guys that volunteer at our club, but we should be operating a hell of a lot sharper IMO.

The bit in slapshot. Where the organ player takes a puck to the heed. Every time he says fife flyyyyyyeeeeeerrrss , I imagine that happening to him. We can but dream. . Dj flubbeeeeeer Needs released back to the seal sanctuary at deep sea world . Next on ma list is the ice crew. How hard is it to get a decent fixing. Ohhhh and Todd Out.

I missed the point about scrapping the numerous snippets of Loch Lomond. I'd also make it policy to play 'The Good Old Hockey Game' 😎

Could this Sunday's game be a great opportunity to try and "lift" the game night experience? Matching up against our main rival, the return of Hainsey and hopefully a full quota (injury dependant)on the ice? I'm hoping decent crowd numbers so the potential for a noisy rink so why not use this to our advantage, understand that we need a little drama before our team comes out, too many occasions the team are about on the ice with no build up at all. Hopefully we do see some of this and the "game night experience" does start improving.

Lights off, let the drummer do his business, a bit chanting, then a decent tune to skate out too, it's not rocket science, the players have said numerous time they like hearing the fans chanting before they come out

I'd love to know the reason behind the lights staying on etc. because a flat crowd at the start isn't what the players need. As you say it doesn't need to be anything special, but we were doing better intro's during the Heineken days. It's bizarre.

Iv always thought there's something special before they come out when the lights go off and it's just left to the drum and the fans to build it, unfortunately we've now got these weirdos up in that still unpainted wooden box that don't want to seem to let the crowd do anything unless they're prompted, so Mr DJ man and Kirsty of you read this, what you are trying to do is not how it works here, turn the f%*#%#g lights off and let the crowd create the atmosphere!!!

Everyone misses the old build-up, espcially the lights going off. Get it sorted this week and just watch and listen to the crowd reaction.
Lets start a chant "Lights out" "Lights out" amd mebbe it will get a result..
