JakeOTIB Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Leeds United play 'Marching on Together' at Elland Road and Chelsea and WBA play 'Liquidator'. I just wondered if anybody would like City doing it because it kind of gets the crowd going a little bit from what I've seen. Also if we did do it, what would we play? I know we sing our usual "Cooooome on you reeeeeds" before but just wondered what everyone thought about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 In a perfect world... Oasis - Columbia. Honestly though I'd rather not have music at all before the game, prevents any atmosphere from building. I'm not buzzing for the game after hearing 7 generic pop tunes and only one I've ever heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Don Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I think it's more a case of what can be done to build the atmosphere leading up to kick off as people are taking their seats. I went to Burnley in the Fa Cup last season and even though it was only a small crowd I was impressed with the way they used their screens to show memorable goals to a background of music to whip up the crowd. With slogans such as "WE ARE BURNLEY" and "COME ON YOU CLARETS". My description really doesn't do it justice but can imagine something similar down the gate with some memorable goals (Tinnion at Anfield, JET vs the gas, Tomlins special against Huddersfield) set to some dramatic music to get the juices flowing.

pongo88 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 What ever we have it must be better than some of the rubbish we had in the past. In the 60s there were occasionally live local groups before the match including Pete Budd and the Rebels. Dire.

Given our current state of flux I think the Adge classic When the Common Market Comes to Stanton Drew would be in order. Anybody who has heard of neither the song or the place go immediately to the back of the class. Folks say nowadays we've got to change our ways, The papers say so, so I s'pose 'tis true, We've got to take a chance, with Germany and France, And live like all they foreign people do. Now, I wonder if they'll build the Eiffel Tower on 'arptree 'ill, Put gondolas down on the River Chew, Shall us all drive on the right, and drink up all the night- When the Common Market comes to Stanton Drew?

If it gets really quiet I will happily oblige, being a former East Ender herded into the Williams, then the Atyeo and now the South Stand, facetiousness is second nature.

I know we sing our usual "Cooooome on you reeeeeds" before but just wondered what everyone thought about it. I don't like our music at games. It's an entirely subjective thing so probably plenty think the opposite to me. I find it all a bit uninspiring and personally I find songs like that Elbow track we used to play and the 'flying home' one after half time rather pretentious for football. In my opinion it's pretty easy to create a mixed playlist of some popular older rock music from the 60s-80s, then some 90s bands like Oasis and Blur.. some more modern bands like Muse and Kasabian.. some dance tracks to build the tempo like Faithless, Fatboy Slim, Pendulum and of course some Wurzels. Would be something for everyone and build the right mood. There's no need to have random pop songs at half time like Little Mix and Olly Murs - always found that a bit odd considering the demographic.
