    Joanne has passed your email to me and I must tell you that we are still
    experimenting with the tune. We were hoping that the tune "the battle hymn
    of the republic" would be useful in that the concept was merely to let
    people know that the players were in the tunnel. We then needed another,
    more rousing tune, for the players to march down the tunnel to.
    Unfortunately it is the referee who decides when the march down the tunnel
    will commence and therefore we have been forced into playing the trumpet
    solo for too long. We do understand and we do agree.

    At the moment we are looking at marching down the tunnel to "we will rock
    you" but if you could tell us what the old Barnsley tune was then we would
    be very happy to try that one again. I can assure you we have tried several
    combinations midweek but without the atmosphere it is much more difficult to
    judge.

    There was a suggestion that to get people's attention when the players
    assemble in the tunnel, we should play the prelude to Beethoven's 5th
    Symphony which as I am sure you will know, is . . . ______ which is of
    course morse code.It has a tradition because it was the code used during the
    Second World War for broadcating on the radio to our spy network in France
    and Germany and the reason was that it was morse code for V which stood for
    Victory which would seem rather appropriate. Unfortunately I suspect that
    the majority of fans would not appreciate the message and indeed some would
    even construe it that we were putting two fingers up to them (as if I would
    ever do that!!!!) Anyway, let me have your suggestions. We are looking and
    we are experimenting. We can but try.

    Well done Gordy, you've really done it now

    Just a point on when to start the song. Ever thought of having someone in the tunnel to phone the bloke who presses "play" on the CD?

    Whatever tune is decided upon could you request that the club do one thing please?

    Let the teams run out to a themetune, let the fans get some atmosphere and let the tune actually get playing the proper tune before the team is announced? or announce the team before the tune starts please?

    there is nothing that ruins the atmosphere more than playing 2 or 3 bars of a song and then turning it off and reading out the team of the opposition.

    It's also the world's biggest cliche

    A genuine embarrassment if we resort to that.

    Can you let us know what the old song was?

    I'm sorry, I didn't know any staff who were still around from when we were any good had been given a lobotamy.

    Just a small point JT.....

    The opening bars to Beethoven's fifth were a representation of the hand of death knocking at ones door. This was to do with the Black Death that was very popular in Europe during the late 18th century.

    It's three G's and a long E flat.

    Smiths - That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

    Park the car at the side of the road
    You should know
    Time’s tide will smother you
    And I will too
    When you laugh about people who feel so
    Very lonely
    Their only desire is to die
    Well, I’m afraid
    It doesn’t make me smile
    I wish I could laugh

    But that joke isn’t funny anymore
    It’s too close to home
    And it’s too near the bone
    It’s too close to home
    And it’s too near the bone
    More than you’ll ever know ...

    Kick them when they fall down
    Kick them when they fall down
    You kick them when they fall down
    Kick them when they fall down
    You kick them when they fall down
    Kick them when they fall down
    You kick them when they fall down
    Kick them when they fall down

    It was dark as I drove the point home
    And on cold leather seats
    Well, it suddenly struck me
    I just might die with a smile on my
    Face after all

    I’ve seen this happen in other people’s
    Lives
    And now it’s happening in mine

    I’ve seen this happen in other people’s
    Lives
    And now it’s happening in mine

    I’ve seen this happen in other people’s
    Lives
    And now it’s happening in mine

    I’ve seen this happen in other people’s
    Lives
    And now it’s happening in mine
    Oh ...

    I’ve seen this happen in other people’s
    Lives
    Oh ...
    And now it’s happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine

    I’ve seen this happen in other people’s
    Lives
    Oh ...
    And now, now, now it’s happening in mine
    (I’ve seen this happen)
    Happening in mine
    Oh... now, now

    I’ve seen this happen in other people’s
    Lives
    Oh ...
    And now it’s happening in mine
    (happen)
    Happening in mine
    Oh ...
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine

    I’ve seen this happen in other people’s
    Lives
    Oh ...
    And now, now, now it’s happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Mine, mine
    Happening in mine

    Everyone's taste is different. Finding a theme tune that suits everyone is almost impossible. The timerider thing we used to have is not my favourite tune, but I think it worked in getting people off their feet and clapping, creating an atmosphere. We could do a hell of a lot worse than going back to that.

    Maybe he was referring to that other clapping thing from a few years ago.

    Anyone know what that was called (not that I am suggesting it mind)?

    Why not...

    Find out how long the music has to be, and then sent samples to the club of the songs you like. They can listen and see what they think.
