[Albion] Keep Ring of Fire as the pre kick off music or not?

[LlcoolJ]

As posted on another thread, my choice would be this (40 seconds in)

Unfortunately Steve Parish has already bought the rights for this pre match stuff. He did an amazing deal with Wisconsin to ensure Premier League exclusivity for CPFC2010 Ltd, only £25m.

Ah, no. He got the on screen "Letters Race" and the mascot.

I prefer the crowd noise idea, if we can make any.

 

[Algernon]

No idea what happened there.A protracted double post somehow.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

We had a bit of an extended one the other day didn't we .. some problem with the ref delayed kick off I think..

 

[father_and_son]

Something from Fatboy Slim?

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Johnny Cash is a bit of a hero, so I personally love the song, but can see why others may not.

I’d stick to nostalgia though and propose this foot stomper....

I've always thought of ring of fire as a particularly challenging post-curry experience.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The intermezzo from the Karelia Suite by Sibelius.

Sounds too much like Sussex By The Sea.

 

[BN41Albion]

It's really shyte.

 

[Drumstick]

Can’t say it bothers me and some seem to enjoy it.

My biggest pre match issue is GOSBTS lyrics on the screens. Why? Everyone knows the words and it just looks like no one knows the words. It’s not very often I say the word cringe but that is definitely a cringe moment for me.

"Sure the kids love it, and a woman near me swings her scarf and everything else "

This post still was saying 'No' he didn't like it but I say the fact that the crowd get behind it is reason enough to keep it . I like it anyway.

Please please PLEASE no pre-match music for 30 seconds before kick off. Let the fans generate the atmosphere, stop trying to manufacture it. I'm certain it would then translate into a better atmosphere during the game, as the fans would already be in voice.

Also, the fact they often kick off while Ring of Fire is still going leads to the kick off - one of the best bits of a Saturday afternoon - feeling shoddy and a bit "oh, we've started?"

Bin it.

But also this. The one exception still needs to be GOSBTS when the teams come out but we ALL KNOW THE WORDS NOW PAUL.

.............and relax

Loud music at sport is ****ing shit. It's not why you're there and only detracts from the atmosphere.

Attila playing a few punk/new wave ditties on a dansette, even Slade/Flying Lizzards playing live on the pitch is a different matter.

I reckon I've nailed this issue.

My original thought was my customary dis at us fans:-

'With 10% participation of RoF what makes you think they'll be 100% participation to Jump Around?'
(In the interests of full disclosure I don't wear a scarf and wouldn't wave it if I did)

Then it struck me.

Familiarity breeds contempt.


What if the club had 4 or 5 options available and just randomly chose one.

Jump Around.
Ring of Fire.
The criminally not used Fatboy.
Baby Shark - ok I'm reaching already.

But you know what I mean.
If we had no idea what was coming Shirley it follows we're more likely to respond when it arrives, no?

 

[Albion my Albion]

Why did you pick Mrs. Cash's sister?

 

[jonny.rainbow]

This the the only ramp up song I would be in favour of using:

 

[Pavilionaire]

I've not been one for criticising unless I can suggest an improvement.

Many fans are on the concourses literally right up to the point of kick off. The Jam could reform and play Ring Of Fire and there will still be hundreds not arsed to take to their seats.

My suggestion would be to commission Fat Boy Slim to create a bespoke Albion tune to fulfiil this purpose.

Whilst I agree, a majority of the current generation of 'lads' haven't got a bloody clue who the Jam are. Or anything they stood for for that matter.

This! "Ring of Fire" only reminds me of the morning after a particularly scorching Madras and a few beers...

Whatever happened to the FBSlim music? Used to play Right Here before GOSBTS and Praise You post match.
Also, Sweet Caroline was huge at the Hove lawns promotion party and yet it also never gets played.
Jump gets my vote for next season, but it wont happen as it would encourages people to stand up.

With you, apart from the dire Sweet Caroline which has nothing to do with the club.
