36ers: roving MC is not needed

There was a blog about it here quoting many of you anonymous snipers posters.... but it has been taken down.

Who's choice to remove?

Pointing towards Skip, if you play the favourites buddy that involve hands clapping, you get that. But I guess throughtout the off-season, a few people have wanted new music. The older generation dont listen to anything but 1395 5AA, so they arent into that.

As for the roving MC, it didnt work but good work anyhow. Maybe its worth exploring at Lightning games.

So when you say you dont hold her responsible, you believe that Patronising the crowd is a way to get us involved???

I found it very hard to hear her, yes, but her attitude at that break was disgusting. Didn't win her any fans from that point on no doubt.

I loved seeing the players going into the stands after the game. Extremely good thing!

The kids (and ladies) loved it. Winder had a small posse of kids following him everywhere. The kids wont forget it in a hurry, might even be a good enough memory to play hoops, and not footy.

I agree with the harshness of comments stated by King James. at the end of the day she was only doing the job she has been paid and expected to do. It would not be easy doing what she did at all. I personally didnt really notice though as we just go to the standing section and up there we couldnt hear a thing from that speaker system.

i do agree the music needs to be louder and IMO it needs to be a bit more modern. more basketball styled songs. although im sure there are some licensing issues here where it costs money to have the music they have. i could be wrong?

ohhhhhh.....is that what that standing up thing at the beginning of the game was?? i seriously had no idea what was going on then. i thought the leagues scrapped the national anthem at the beginning of every game. So lost on that one. i do agree with ShaneD just because other states may or may not stand up until the first point, why should we? i dont see how it serves any purpose?

Yeah, sorry but I have to say that the Roving MC was just a bad idea.

That and the fact that this is another reminder how outdated the sound system is for the Dome; hopefully a stellar year of FTA basketball encourages the venue owners to buy an updated cube and speaker system.

Don't think Adelaide needs a hype man, we just need a team that can make the finals again. Performance will do the trick.

With regards to atmosphere, I went to a Miami Heat game in April and ithe atmosphere was roughly the same as yesterday. Fairly flat. My theory about yesterday was being the first game and not really knowing the players it took a while to get into the game. As for the roving mike she had a great voice for the print media and a condescending attitude that got on my goat, but not nearly as much as my son.

The Sixers organisation presentation of the game is as good as any I have seen. We, the crowd have always been reluctant to go away from the tried and true. The last successfull attempt at organising the crowd was the synchro intro by Paul Barton back in the Apollo days.

More Alleyoops to Winder = Loud Noises!

I played Moscow!

Like nails on a blackboard, that detracted from my game night experience.

Please stop yelling at me and telling me to do things.

Meh. i dont see what the big fuss is, we still did what we normally do anyway. I figure if your complaining about how annoying the roving MC was then you werent loud enough, because you wouldnt have heard her. but thats just me. Thankfully there is two weeks until the next game, my voice needs recovery time!
