Hi mate.

Is it possible to have the pre-game music turned off with 5 minutes until kick off and no entrance music? Would much rather hear 5 thousand people chanting 'Maaaariners' than not be able to hear anything over Thin Lizzy.

Ta,
Chris

If the club can't even delegate and trust its stadium announcer to pick a playlist without having to micromanage them with "strict orders" on the granular detail of the pre-match playlist, how can we expect people at the top to trust the rest of their staff to use their initiative to make decisions?

On the subject of the music itself:

1)  Why are we playing the Chelsea song?

2)  In answer to...

This song has been used by the Boston Red Sox for about 20 years, and according to urban myth, was requested as an homage to the newborn daughter of a long-time RedSox employee.

It was then used more throughout the US by college teams (my wife's college have been using it for years) and at some point made its way over to Europe, with Northern Ireland fans singing Sweet Norn Iron, then loads of other clubs jumping on the bandwagon, including it now seems, the unimaginative dullards at the top of ours.

Considering Sweet Caroline is now Lincoln’s song, it would have been nice not to play that one too. Can’t we just be different for once, in a good way?

We did do "Always look on the bright side of life" in the late 1980s for a couple of games. I did have to supply the audio cassette for it though to the club!


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

There is still a control freak in charge although he has gone silent on the public front,

Pick your own songs to play or resign Rob.

As an aside, my speakers were made in Nailsworth.

So now the club are dictating what is played and when, jeez just leave it to the PA announcer, why does the club need to have a say in what is being played, typical board.

Sweet Caroline is absolute dogshite. That’s usually my cue to top the drinks and snacks up when I’m watching the boxing. I won’t say anything about Lloyd Griffith so I’m not accused of jealousy.

I 'm 67 and although most wouldn't expect Orphan Boy to be my music, I can't understand why it isn't given more prominence near to the game. I hate hearing other teams songs  and chants.

Yeah I agree, to a point. I juwt feel the crowd should be allowed to the generate the noise kkso close to kick off, especially after the players are out.

Isn't Michael Jolley's theme tune "Fix You by Coldplay" after that amazing Tweet?

Not the most upbeat song until near the end, but the final few moments could be intimidating if everyone joined in.

Bring back - 'Do what you do do well boys'.

At least, there's some sort of motivational instruction to the players as they come out of the tunnel on to the pitch.

Nice one Ginny lol What an epic day mate. I'm knackered, been up since 3am had to go to work early to get time off for the game my voice has gone but I don't care. Jolley and the boys have restored my faith in all things GTFC.
