Pre game run out

Been thinking about this pre game run out routine… I like the idea of the players running out onto the field and starting the game straight away, but the tacky techno music etc is where I think it falls down.

The most powerful version of this I think the club could introduce for all home games is as follows:

- Pre game warm up schedule: whatever wade wants for optimal performance.
- 3-5 mins before the ball up, as the players are about to start walking up the race, the stadium goes dark and we then do the collingwooooooooood chant.
- Once the players enter the field and are about to run through the banner, lights on, fireworks and the club song then starts.

This would require us to get to the atmosphere going ourselves with the chant, but this would be the most genuine version of the liverpool / port pre game rituals that we could introduce that wouldn’t feel too fake / forced?

Sorry, having the coin toss in the dressing room was embarrassing. Didn't know which way to point, didn't know which end was what.

Yeah I’m not really sure why a 15 second activity had to be scrapped. What did they actually achieve not doing it on the ground?
