Isn't it about time that PNE moved into the new century with the half time entertainment.

Before people start blasting me for attacking the starlights (is it starlights or starlets?) , I'm not. In fact, they bring joy to people and entertainment to others.

It was actually the starlights who made me think of this! Why? well, everytime they are mentioned we group ourselves into two corners. Those who want them, and those who don't. The two sides then battle it out until the thread dissapears. So why can't we have our cake and eat it?

"What!", you ask. Well, entertainment for everyone.

Why can't Preston show, during the half time interval, highlights of the 1st half.

Hell, if a lad with a phone can post all the action, within 5 minutes of getting home on yourtube. I'm sure Preston, could manage a video edit of the first 40 minutes for those Queueing up.

This way..people can have the starlights and people can have a more football oriantated first half.
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

Good point, it is true that it should be possible to cater for everyones tastes.

I can only assume that there are certain copyright issues with broadcasting match highlights at half time, or that there are rules governing what incidents can be shown. Where clubs have big screens they replay during the game, but they suffer limitations. Some grounds do offer highlights at half time, Derby I think is one of them. If it is cheap and legal to do then I would be in favour.

However, there is already congestion in the concourse areas due to the massive refreshment queues and I am not sure we should be encouraging people to go down there to further swell the numbers.

I would like to see more crowd interaction entertainments, using more than the AKTE, purely because it is nice to feel involved. However, coming up with ideas is not my strong point.

Junior football was suggested, as they do at many other clubs, as it allows us to reach out into areas where PNE would not be so well attended, e.g. North Lancs, and get people to Deepdale and feel a part of the day (Hopefully then returning when they see how good it is)
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

yeah i think we should get more north end fans on the pitch taking penalties and have a bit of a competition! maybe take a few pens at lonergan or at the duck. sorry but having a few kids dancing around at half time doesnt entertain anyone.
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

Why is it that when you go down for your Pie/Pint at H.T. - al you see on the tellies is the Bog-ordinary Sky Sports stuff - which apart from flashing the HT results repetitivly, only bangs-on about future sports stuff that's going to come-on later-on.

I want to see the goals-so-far OR action from a previous game. The screens are wasted.

Re: Half Time entertainment

Remember that brass band marching round the pitch,probably going back 10 years or so.They were ace!
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

Dont know if theres any legal reason,but why not put 5 live or similar through
the tannoy.Listening to the match reports will do for me.
 
Re: Half Time entertainment


Maybe you could get 1 local young lads team every week to come on and shoot the penalties against Lonners, give them a thrill at being on the pitch and might just encourage them to burn those Manure shirts. just a thought 🙂
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

Leave the players on the pitch, bring on a tray of oranges for each team then get on with the game. 5 minutes max.
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

Wots wrong with playing catchy 'tunes' that old & young alike can sing along to (if they wish, none of that compulsory joining in like a Sunderland game last week......ugggh), reading out half time scores & birthday messages, all at a decebel level which allows us to pontificate to your mate/bloke behind me/ etc etc about the first half.
I do NOT want to see some 70's sexist performing bimbos prance around the centre circle for no-ones benefit except perhaps Perfect 10s profits?!
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

I think no matter what north end do at half time not everyone is going to be happy ! The people who seem to complain the most about the cheerleaders are also the people who complain about queuing at half time for their pies/pints! well you cant be in two places at once so if your waitin for your pie then you arent suffering the cheerleaders imo ! we pay our money to watch 90mins of football lets all whinge or celebrate about those 90 minuites instead of making the 15 minuites in between seem like anything more than a refreshment break !
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

You are only there for about an hour & Hhalf, why do people need pies/beer/piss etc etc.
When I am at home on a Sunday afternoon I can go ages without a pee............is it the excitement or just incontenence of football fans................

Probably depends on whos been for a few pints before hand as 2 wheather they need a toilet break and a pie !

I personaly like to read my programe at half time so dont really pay much attention to whats going on on the pitch !
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

Bring back the half time scoreboards situated at each side of the ground and ther football league review in the match programme - those where the days
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

Plus sell silk scarves again - now they were brilliant - think I will follow this one up.
 
Re: Half Time entertainment

bollox to half time entertainment.

who needs more than an ashworths pie, a bovril and a chat with your mate about the margin of victory

you can keep that glitzy premier league nonsense as far as i am concerned

if you want a proper debate start campaigning for balti pies and extra sediment in the bovril
