Good riddance Collo you prick
Etihad has a new Stadium manager at last.
A Pommy dude who wants more razzledazzle at the footy.
At least it means Collo is not running the joint.
Can only be a good thing IMO.

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
Yes, Collo gone is a good thing, but did you see the jumper the new dude is wearing????
I think he shopped at AusKnits in the '80's.

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
One of the few things that annoys me at the footy is the blaring crap music pre game.
I actually enjoy sitting and relaxing after a week's work pre game.

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
This is terrifying…
He said the AFL, rival codes and Australia's stadium chiefs should look to the English Premier League and NBA basketball for inspiration.
"The whole experience of going to an NBA game blows your socks off because they make use of the arrival experience, the video boards, the monitors around the venue, the PA system," he said.
What AFL has over those two sports is that it is a thoroughly entertaining without any "razzle dazzle".
"Oh that was a brilliant nil all draw for the 3rd week in a row, but I felt that the deafening PA was even better."
freakin' spare us…

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
The game sells itself.
What will turn more people away will be overhyped ground announcers on over volumed PA's screaming so loud that you cant hear the person next to you.
So this pommy should get his facts right. It isn't soccer or NBA what is a boring substandard game compared to AFL.
As for Collo, does it mean we get cheaper food and dringk because he is gone? Cheaper gete entry? Cheaper parking? If not, who cares if he or some other spiv is running the joint?

I always find the beer to be full bodied and the chips a culinary delight. And I reckon they're cheap enough already!8856brother wrote:Will the beer and hot chips be any cheaper now ?

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
I did enjoy the remote control blimp they had last time I was there... I think they should get more creative with the blimp designs and have battles, or races, etc.
Apart from that (obviously genius idea) why fix what is not broken?... someone always wants to justify their pay/position, and leave their mark. What happened to stewardship, firm hand on the tiller, steady as she goes?! Only cringeworthy and annoying can come of this.

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
I don't know anything about how much 'razzle dazzle' there is at an NBA game but an EPL match consists of getting off a train, walking to the ground, the team walks out to their song, drink at halftime and go home at the end. Nobody yells anything at you - apart from reading out the teams before the match starts.
I wish that whoever runs ES would appreciate that we may be able to fill in the time before a game talking to each other. Why don't they just ask people wether they want to be squealed at and listen to 180dB irish jigs before the game?

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
Crap. I went to an NBA game last weekend. Double overtime, momentum swings, great plays - it's very hard to argue that NBA isn't a good contest to watch when it's good. (Or that AFL can be tedious when it's bad.)joffaboy wrote:It isn't soccer or NBA what is a boring substandard game compared to AFL.
But I agree that the pageantry and noise at NBA games is pretty close to ridiculous. Cheerleaders, T-shirt cannons, entertainers everywhere, half-time shows, celebrities on the big screen, music during the game, DJs during the breaks, the announcer telling you what just happened. Towards the end you almost forgot you were watching a basketball game - I swear they only played about twenty minutes of the entire last hour and a half.

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
Why do they always assume that more noise is better . 90% of it is gonna be ads played flat out or music that a 50 year old thinks will be appealing to everyone .
Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
I didn't mind the live bands before the game, maybe it's just me.
I never found them too loud, usually the music/adverts over the PA is much louder.

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
Expect all the same whingers to whinge when nothing changes. SP what will this new guy do that Collo didnt. My answer would be nothing. Sometimes its better the prick you know. At least Collo understood footy.

Re: Good riddance Collo you prick
Here's an idea, how about putting on the game that is being played before ours. At least that would be more entertaining than watching the same half dozen adds over and over again.
Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.
