It is the modern world
Organisers of sports event seem to think that people are
incapable of watching sport without loud music at every break
This has now crept in at the Stoop
It totally kills the atmosphere
Was at Brentford game when at the end they played Hey Jude
(which is a song I detest) and some hideous rap song and
incredible loud levels.
Fans were not cheering their team but singing along - just had
nothing to do with sport
It was impossible to chat to my mates just behind me
When I go to sport I want to enjoy the atmosphere of live sport
otherwise I amy as well sit at home and watch on TV or in the
pub, not listen to loud music which may not be my personal
choice.
I assume that the people who decide that this is what punters
desire are youg kids who have done a marketing course and spend
their life on a phone and cannot enjoy the moment.

The after game party at Brentford is enjoyed by a huge majority
of the supporters who stay behind to celebrate the teams win.
The players and Thomas do a lap and the crowd sing along to the
usual three songs that are played. I like it when I’m there and
you don’t get the rapid departure of the stands and emptying of
the ground like at the Stoop. The loud music they play before
the game and at half time at Quins and Twickenham means you
can’t talk to your friends. Nobody near me likes it but we are
all old, in fact I haven’t found anybody that thinks the loud
music is good .

That was a quote from Jamie George talking with DC on a BBC pod.
It was (IMO) a little tongue in cheek

The more rugby goes in this direction, the sooner it will become
7’s , in so much the rugby is just a sideline for a “ Day out”
We even had at The Stoop open day “ We are entertainers” nope we
are a rugby club

Very annoying when they play music during breaks in play at the
stoop
The rubbish product on the pitch at Twickenham is the problem
Then the piped in noise kills any organic atmosphere

Back in the old days it was quite good when a fight broke out
the PA played Give peace a Chance.
However that was when humour was allowed and now we should all
clutch our pearls and tut from our safe space that violence has
no place in the game, bad example to children, would be sent to
prison if it happened off the pitch etc. etc

Used to like “ Goodbye” for a yellow card, but again stopped so
as not to offend

I didn't find the music for fights, yellow cards, etc offensive,
just a bit lame. Especially as we obviously only did it for the
away team. Made us look a bit silly when we lost. It's the sort
of thing people would hammer sarries for, especially the music
when the other team ran on, like coronation street, brand new
harvester
Having said that, those tunes beat "riiiise, riiiise,
riiiiiiise"

Apparently the “alcohol free”’rule was announced after tickets
had been bought. While this is a good idea it was badly
implemented.

Yes, fix the product on the pitch and the rest will begin to
look after itself. I think the big game production is far
slicker but Quins as a club lends itself to colour and
razzmatazz so it all feels a lot less forced. You’re also in the
position that England don’t need to try to sell out Twickenham
whereas Quins do.
One thing is for sure, you’ll not be able to please everyone and
one person’s joy is another’s nightmare.
