As for the cheerleaders. I am old enough to remember the marching bands at half time.Now that would be my preference. We've done it for Whinos and Shudds no reason why we couldn't do Wakey. The club would just need to get in touch http://www.thefireband.co.uk/home

Cas' cheerleaders showed ours up because they're obviously a proper group who've been together much longer. (And were better than the Dolls were anyway.)

Personally, if you're going to have dancers, have proper ones who are 18+ or don't bother. Is it entertaining to watch a bunch of kids dance out of tune, other than to their parents?

Not sure of your understanding of what the cheerleaders are about. For me, they are a way to engage young people in the club and if along the way they provide entertainment before kick off and at half time, then that is a bonus.

Nah, they are all boring IMHO but if we must at least make it look professional - I know what the aim is but I don't believe it works.

By using the word Proffesional on your reply Vastman you are obviously implying we pay someone to come in and dance. Haven't we been down this route once before. It's a sad indictment of where we are as a bunch of fans when we are sticking the boot in to a bunch of kids.

The dancers will only get better by performing a bit like players, you don't play, you don't get better.

Try reading Jason before pontificating.

I said I don't like Cheerleaders full stop - however if we must the professionals please.

I have no issue with the kids dancing but that's not cheerleading is it and should be separate IMO.

What the OP said was that it all looked wrong and a bit of a mess and I agree. If you don't like that opinion, tough.

Go on then. What in your opinion would be suitable, cost effective pre match entertainment?
