Mark Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 For the love of God please scrap Hey Jude. It is ****ing atrocious and has absolutely nothing to do with the club or the city as a whole.Been calling for that for years, who makes these braindead decisions?The goals montage leading up to the players coming out was a great addition but can barely be heard this season, the volume actually goes up when Hey Jude comes on though
fleckneymike Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 Kick it 90's style: Republica and Robbie! Lest we forget darude sandstorm!
Stadt Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 release me - showaddywaddy reeled you in didn't I?
ADK Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 Yes it irks me. Although it's true we have the post horn gallop. Can't really stand "Hey Jude" it's so tin pot. You can't just create tradition though. We would have to pick something new.
Kitchandro Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 Thank you for pointing this out, for example Brighton are a good strong club, with a great fan base. Brighton are little lower league club who all of a sudden got a bunch of fans because of a new stadium and promotion. I expect their crowds to be like Blackpool's soon enough now they're struggling again and their stadium's novelty has worn out.
Dan Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 The Post Horn Gallop is something I really like as it's something genuinely unique to us. Name another club who come out to live music every game? Past that though I'm afraid we are pure and utter generic.
Nick Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 We should play Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You for one more decade or two. The club could put a free bit of piano wire on every seat in the stadium.
Manwell Pablo Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 The Post Horn Gallop is something I really like as it's something genuinely unique to us. Name another club who come out to live music every game? Past that though I'm afraid we are pure and utter generic. To be fair the post horn gallop puts us one up on most clubs when it comes to a proper historical pre match tradition. I realise those that feel the need to have something to sing along to might be a little frustrated by this as you can't sing along to it, but that's just the way it is. Too many people wanting to be like West Ham/Liverpool if you ask me. There are numerous problems with when your smiling, the way we sing it doesn't sound anything like any recorded version, it's too short, most of our fans don't even know the words and as a club anthem is nowhere near as deep seeded in the club as other anthems it is often compared too.
phg Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 When I first started going down in the early 80's the lads would run out of the tunnel, line up in the centre circle and then wave to all sides of the ground.This kind of routine is Scuppered these days by all the current Prem line up / handshakes palaver but made it look like a bit of personal appreciation from the team towards the (then) frequently long suffering faithful. Ditch Hey Jude anytime you like for me though. It was great when they ran out on their own to Post Horn Gallop. You're right, this nonsense of both teams walking out together under the cardboard arch has spoilt it. It's good we at least keep that music though. There was a move, I think it was under Mandaric, to replace it with something or another hopeless.
yorkie1999 Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 Walked into old Trafford and stone roses were blaring out on the tannoy. Suppose some of you lot think that's naff, I thought it was pretty cool playing a local band. Why can't we have a bit of kasabian.

I've never seen WYS as one of those songs where it would give you goosebumps. It just isn't that type of song and I don't think we've ever really had one of them. Most renditions of it are dreadful too sadly.

It just isn't that type of song and I don't think we've ever really had one of them. Most renditions of it are dreadful too sadly. I think if it was belted out properly, aka really slow with people knowing the words, in the way that Blue Moon/YNWA are then it would sound fantastic. I just don't think we have the capability as a fan base to arrange it and the club aren't bothered about making it 'our' song.
potter3 Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 +1 on getting back to tradition aka Robbie, Republica and Darude
Guest seanfox778 Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 I like the post horn gallop. I think It really is unique and we are lucky as some clubs just have crappy chart music.
Sooper Steve's shin Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 Playlist should be Showaddywaddy (Under the Moon of Love), Englebert (Please Release Me) and Kadabian (Underdog). All local connections, first two have good anthem potential and I like Underdog as a build-up tune with a little bit of a hidden meaning for us. Obviously a live PHG is the crescendo.
Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 You have to account that there is also time constraints, the team news was always done after the post horn gallop during handshakes but now they have to play that premier league music during handshakes, So by the time that's done all the players are lined up ready for kick off so it would probably have to be a fast paced song unfortunately
Dr The Singh Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 Loads of bhangra local artist we could play, no fecker does that do they?
