The old ones are the best...

BUT

Just watched the start of the Man City/Liverpool game and they dimmed the stadium lights and put a blue moon on the big screen, which triggered(ish) the fans singing the City anthem. The players then came out to Right Here, Right Now and even though the stadium isn't full the atmosphere sounded great.

Set me thinking about FC coming out for matches this season. I know most matches will be during the day, but how about showing some FC legends on the screen and start off Old Faithful over the speakers, then let us fans carry it on before the teams come out to something as bouncing as Right Here, Right Now. With the hoped for increase in crowds, it could bring a fantastic atmosphere to our home games and hopefully inspire the team.

Just a thought...

Instead of the blue moon (I can't listen to that song now without thinking of An American Werewolf in London), how about thishttp://www.alisal.com/data/slideshow/web_Cowboy_silhouette.jpg" >

"False Dawn" by Drudke.

I'd love to hear old faithful belted out by everyone just before the team runs out.
It's the one downside to the KC though & the fact it's all seater, people who would normally sing are sat next to people who maybe don't bother. Unlike the traditional grounds that used to have area that was always very vocal, threepenny stand for us.
With the new regime really pushing this fresh start I would love it if we could all do our bit in the stands & create a fantastic & intimidating atmosphere.
I'm not a football fan but have always liked watching the Liverpool fans before kick off singing they're anthem & all holding up they're scarves, be fantastic if we could recreate that with old faithful.

And our neighbours could have Hercules showing on their screenhttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y1X4qB74ZEo/SljR9oFZOtI/AAAAAAAAAHs/Vg9q4Vl5NIw/s320/_40505139_steptoe270.jpg" >

While the PA plays rlTHISrl

Like it, good work

Another problem is tha fact that once one person or section of the crowd start to sing, by the time it reaches the other end of the stadium, the originals are half-way through the 2nd line.

We've had allsorts of pis[is[/ipotical "groups" making lame attempts at singing it, in varied tempos with atrocious backing. Surely it is not such an expensive exercise to record a half-decent singer, singing it in the tempo that it's usually sung at games, without any backing at all?

i always liked the team to run out to Thunderstruck by AC/DC (The FC version, instead of thunder it was replaced by FC!!) always got the players and fans pumped up.

When i was in Oz the nrl teams players each had their own song and each player entered the field individually which i liked

Dim the lights for Sunday afternoon games, cracking idea mate

Wot if they give a pair of shades to everyone as u walk in a bit like when you goto watch a 3D film at the cinema?

So, image of a big pair of shades on big screen
We all put shades on
Then a picture of the cowboy
We all sing old faithful

Easy, job done

They should come out to thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v

Bonus points if they copy how he does it!

How very Bradford Bulls
