and thank fcuk for that, even though I'm sure the club will want to do that to increase their pie selling time.WAZZOCK timings wise it's not like American Football where you get a full hour to fill on occasions.

Sutekh ^ Just goes to show how ridiculous the club can be sometimes. What is the point in arranging a band like that as half time entertainment unless you let them make use of the pitch itself and keep the pa system quiet for 5 minutes.

Quite. There are a lot of unpleasant things I would be prepared to watch in exchange for a few minutes respite from that twat

Nameless It's for all fans. - Fulham too.
I think it is another excellent move by the club. Going a little bit further in the direction of the fans than they are obliged to is very welcome.
I doubt it will actually cost them much extra.
For me the likely result of charging would have been hardly anyone turning up, so very little revenue.
By making it free they will win a lot of goodwill, get a decent crowd and possibly some add on sales.
The cost of staging the game is the same either way, but they have a lot of happier fans.

Believe TTE are touting an interview soon with someone who they term as being DJ Megaparty so be interesting to hear the other side of things.
Overall though, and for those that remember please consider the days of Elm Park, what/who/when was the best experience at half time or has it always been utter dump that the club has never got right?
Personally I always think less is more and the days of Elm Park were much simpler with a few informational items and birthdays plus the half time scores being about the limit while the rest of the time it was the latest chart smashes (when people actually gave a toss about the charts) being literally squawked at you (you never had bass lines on the Elm Park tannoy).
Moving to the new stadium we got better technology but either you couldn't hear anything or it was like being inside one of the loudspeakers at a Motorhead gig. Now they seemed to have worked out the volume but just cant get anything right vocally and generally being so OTT and cringeworthy like a load of 15 yearold club mascots. One thing that gets me as well is the utter contempt and embarrassment of not giving out the opponent's team before kick off.

Glad it's away fans too.
It'll cost them a fair amount, they're essentially getting one game's-worth of gate receipts but paying for staffing/police/utilities twice. Sure this is partly offset by secondary sales but it'll still not come cheap.
Fulham fans are split between agreeing it's a decent move and complaining that those who can't attend don't get a refund. If it were Huddersfield I could understand, but it's not exactly a treck for them.
