Halftime Entertainment?
We've had:
- Hit The Crossbar
- Disability Football
- Put The Ball In The Net
- Blue Flames
It all seems to have gone quiet. With winter here what could we have at half-time to make
the time pass quickly and keep the young 'uns interested?

I've had a suggestion from an unnamed source! Give everyone a gardening fork!  |

It seems like perfect weather to bring back the ice bucket challenge.

Not likely. A basket and a warm blanket for me.

Did someone say blanket??
I can offer a guess what's under the blanket competition in the South Stand every game if anyone is interested.

I remember volunteering for an American style penalty shoot out(Where you had to run from the half way line and try to score) at Shrewsbury about 25 years ago.
They picked 5 young Shrewsbury fans and then 5 young Rovers fans from the away end.
I was about 10/11 at the time and was a cocky little kid, and without blowing my own trumpet was a very good young footballer for my age.
I thought here's my chance to show everyone how good I was, in front of 5,000 odd Football fans.
They decided to do it at the end in front of the travelling Gas fans, I thought could this get any better? I think I was about 5th to go, and the kids before me had all scored, the bloke blew the whistle for my turn, I ran through and the keeper came rushing out, this was my chance, I tried to do about 4 stepovers and managed to trip myself up and landed flat on my face straight in front of the Rovers fans, then a massive shout of "Whhhhhhaaaaaayyyyyy" from the whole ground, and then a chorus of "What the Dam hell was that?" I just wished the ground would open up. I was tbe inly kid to miss and Shrewsbury won 5-4.Then to make matters worse we had to do a lap of honour. I don't know whether everybody was pointing and laughing, but it sure felt like it.
I'll never live that moment down.

I thought it was about "the likely lads"
you know
"oh what happened to me whatever happened to you?"
"what became of the people we used to be?"

"what became of the people we used to be?"If you look very carefully, bluebutterfly, you may spot that you missed out on a rather obvious rhyme there. |

Gasfactor - 3 gasheads do karaoke and winner is determined by loudest cheer! Do quarters, semis and finals etc. Winner of each round gets free scarf and then other prizes going up and the overall winner from the 3 finalists gets a free season ticket and a song played on BBC Bristol via Geoff’s show and no doubt the local media would cover it - maybe even national.

Or have a board of four judges. We could have nice Darrell who emotes constantly and sheds a tear at the most emotional bits, 'Listen, yeah, no, yeah, for me you've done great, but every song's a project and you need to dust yourself down and go again, with the next song'. We could have a Steve who talks bollocks about every act, 'Certainly, of course, that's what it's all about. I see no reason, give or take, that in a year or so, you can't have your own record deal. I would say, probably by about July next year.' An enthusiastic Wael, 'I love that song, and I love the way you sing it. I'm very proud that you've sung it to me. I used to be a fan of the original, but if you were to sing against Mariah Carey, I'd definitely be cheering for you. I think Mariah can lose one song per season.' And, obviously, a nasty Simon Hani. |

To be fair a lot of the half-time entertainment is derided by those attending, only the disability group to my mind was actually supported wholely.
We are also saying the pitch is sh*te so why would the club put on something that is of minimal interest to the bulk of the fans and put further pressure on the playing surface?
Not slagging off the OP, just playing the devils advocate UTG
