Beware! one day it starts with recoerded trumpet calls, next thing you know it's "who's the winker with the drum." And that is one particular matchday experience we really dont want.

Is there enough room along the front of the east stand to fit a decent marching band?

Great, we could be like Leeds, bloody hour and half of The Great Escape theme every home game. I must dig out my sponge poity finger things before we're next at home.
When will these people realise, we go to watch Rovers, noy to enjoy ourselves.

I seen some proper fit cheer leaders down there at our last home games of the past two season.

Just to point out that the music being played before the teams come out is called "The Game" sang by Motorhead and goes like this -

It's time to play the game.....
TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!!
Hahahaha
Muahaha
It's all about the game, and how you play it
All about control, and if you can take it
All about your debt, and if you can pay it
It's all about pain, and who's gonna make it
I am the game, you don't wanna play me
I am control, no way you can shake me
I am heavy debts, no way you can pay me
I am the pain, and I know you can't take me
Look over your shoulder, ready to run
Like a good little bitch from a smoking gun!
I am the game and I make the rules
So move on out or you can die like a fool
Try to figure out what my move's gonna be
Come on over, sucker, why don't you ask me?
Don't you forget there's a price you can pay
Cause I am the game and I want to play
It's time to play the game
Huahaha
TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!!!
It's all about the game, and how you play it
It's all about control, and if you can take it
It's all about your debt, and if you can pay it
It's all about the pain, and who's gonna make it
I am the game, you don't wanna play me
I am control, there's no way you can shake me
I am your debt, and you know you can't pay me
I am your pain, and I know you can't tame me
Play the game
You're gonna be the same
You're gonna change your name
You're gonna die in flames
Muahahahaha
TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!!!
It's time to play the game
It's time to play the game
It's time to play the game
Muahahahahahaha
TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!!!!

I too dislike the trumpets but watching the game back on the two occasions it was played it got a good rallying cheer which IMO shows it did its job. I don't think we need gimmicks but with the atmosphere dropping over the past few years the club maybe thought it needed a bit of influence.

As has been pointed out before there are new chants that people are trying to learn and the Kris Welham song took a fair number of games before it got going. The old songs are still being sung and hopefully the team will give the fans something to shout about so we can get the whole crowd vocal!

The Kris Welham chant is the best one to come out in years.
