[Football] Do football clubs not do carol singers anymore?

[Giraffe]

Not so long ago all the Christmas games would see carol singers present on the pitch before or at half time. I thought we would have had some in the bandstand maybe but no. We had none at Chelsea either.

I missed them. Are clubs too afraid to allow Christians to celebrate? Or is it just a case of not wanting anything that distracts from us buying food and drink?

Attrition of tradition.

Didn't get so many Christmas cards either. Younger family less likely to bother (apart from SSE Jr). But still feel I should send them anyway.

I can't remember ever seeing carol singers at football matches. Salvation Army playing carols but not singers.

Carole King, Carole Bayer Sayer ?

No, never seen either of these Carole singers at games

I think we stopped doing Carols when Seb left the club.

Yep remember quite a few years at the goldstone there was Carol singers and I was asked to join a choir at white heart lane 10 years ish ago. Which was fun.

FFS, football is for getting away from that stuff

There were carol singers at Swindon in one of the pre-Christmas games 7 or 8 years ago. Those are the last ones that I saw.
