No to the goal music. I agree it's American sounding. trying to create some sort of sensationalism where there is none.

I always liked passing the flags along the kop in the early-mid 90's though. but can see why it's a pain too.

The band goes both ways. sometimes they drum up an atmosphere where there is none. More often though, they just piss everyone off with the same..song.. for 90 minutes

Pies are 3 quid?! I think last time I bought one they were 1.30

Regarding Thurny's incident with the Cashier and Madsteve's experience.This is the problem with a state where education is so heavily underfunded, that even basic math is amiss among the common man. Also, a computer can only be as smart as the program its running, so if it fails. It generally means a monkey programmed it incorrectly.

They should be running an advanced POS system. It should have a little picture of a pie, or if basic just text saying what it is (so a grasp of basic English may be necessary) on the touchscreen and all the workers need to do is press the correlating pictures, then hit 'Total'

And please, for the love of god. paint the stadium it has looked dingy for years.

By flags, I believe they mean either flag wavers providing a guard of honour as the teams come out, giant flag wavers at the side of the pitch like at Wolves or flag wavers for when a goal is scored like at Arsenal. I don't mind the giant flags passed around before the match.

Maths is funded sufficiently to a basic standard. It is just that so many don't value maths and use a calculator as a crutch. If calculators were banned for all under 14s then people might learn how to add up. I add my whole supermarket bill up in my head & if I am overcharged then I will argue that it is wrong. One bar code came out as £4.10 instead of £1.40 but without adding up the items in my head, I wouldn't have noticed.

An electronic POS system is basic these days but we are 25 years behind the times.
