As a Quins fan you should want the business to be viable, and
that means being able to attract and grow the crowds. We will
inevitably have some Friday night games, because the TV
schedules demand it. If it takes a slightly different style of
entertainment to draw a Friday night crowd, then that's the
price of keeping the club growing.

I think this is probably fair. Where I sit it's pretty much the
same people week in week out with the usual STHs. Whatever the
club is doing it does seem to be working with sell outs for
pretty much every league game.
I don't like the music at the breaks in play but would object
less if it was something that actually got the crowd singing
along a bit. Not Sweet Caroline though... dear lord no...

Good point “ It’s not just for us”
Also sit in gold but looked like a good few had sold on last
night, great for the club
Regulars I spoke to not one said they liked all the new tunes
etc, but would like to hear London Calling again
My point is that whilst I agree it’s not just for us, what harm
would playing some of the old tunes that many of us like have “
Joker and the thief’ always knew the team about to come out,
it’s hasn’t hurt Tigers to have the same tune has it

Not sure if you can argue that lights and a couple of different
songs have made a positive difference as that was our lowest
Premiership match attendance of the season with 11,007 as
officially attending, although it didn't feel that empty,
The previous Friday premiership game was 14,750 against Bristol
- who may have brought more fans but then again that was back in
the dark ages of October so it may have been effected by poor
songs and no fireworks...

I’m 50, been going for a decade - it’s infinitely better than it
used to be, the music, the fireworks, the lights, club is being
transformed and it’s a very good thing.

I’m not saying some of the changes are obviously a good think
Just don’t understand why there is a need to eradicate some of
the other things

A great moment before kick off and with the players ready to go,
that being asked to take a moment to think about the situationn
of the Ukrainian people, that the crowd almost as one rose and
applauded to demonstrate their support. Personally I found it
quite moving.

I know I’m oldish but I find the very loud music tedious as I
like to have a chat with my seat neighbours before the game and
at half time. I don’t mind it just before the teams run out.
I’ve expressed my opinion about overly loud music in the match
experience feedback but just to annoy me and my seat mates they
seem to make it louder.

Have to say, I was happy with the build up to the team coming
out. Very show biz! Still don't understand why at each break in
play we get a loud slice of a different song. It's as if there's
a solution looking for a problem to solve there. All the loud
music totally screwed up any applause for Mike Brown coming on
the pitch (which I thought was rather bad mannered of us). It's
almost as if the people doing the announcing and the music have
never been in the stands at a rugby club, they don't understand
people actually talk to each other and discuss the game - or
would do if there wasn't this annoyingly loud music meaning that
every second response to a comment is "WHAT?" [emoji4]

Well it is certainly not very green to keep doing it. At some
point Quins will wake up to this.
