PA System

[Phoenix]

Can't believe we had nowt better than Cheeky Girls to play as it got towards kick-off time. Something to tell us Mark?

[shrimper]

The lead at the back of the PC slipped and the system went down for a while so, while Mark got it working again, Midds just popped in the first CD to hand. That's it.

[Paul Mac]

Loved the helicopter mix but did we have to have it on every track?

[Bls Shrimp]

But how is the cheeky girls supposed to get everyone motivated for the game ahead!? Doesn't exactly help create an atmosphere does it. Its not just this week but other weeks where the most inappropriate music has come over the PA. It wasn't long ago that we had some kind of banjo music didn't we!?

[outsider]

wasn't the banjo music when Stanley came? the tune from Deliverence ?

Why do they play the same songs every week?
99 red balloons
Ring of fire . . .

[outsider]

99 red balloons for the north standers who take and blow up the things?

...and if you know your history!

Goodness me! A few answers to your important questions...

First if all, the computer went down last night twice and I only just got it going again just before kick off, Mids grabbed an old Shrimpettes CD to put some kind of music on while it rebooted.

Deliverance was played in tribute to Chris Blackburn. it was preceded by a blast of Jesus Christ Superstar. Get it?

99 Red Balloons is played as a thankyou to the guys who bring, blow up and give out RED BALLOONS at every home match.

Ring of Fire has not been played since last season (unless Mids played it at The Exeter match). That was played as a tribute to the North stand who used to sing the tune.

An observation. If you need music to get motivated before a football match you need to take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror. Muppet

It made me laugh last night when the sheep who boo as the recording of the children reading out the respect campaign is played out, didnt know what to do when it froze up after five seconds. Just silence from the PA and booing from The North Stand. Always makes me wonder what the players think when they hear booing going on as they are shaking the oppositions hands.

[Bare Ben]

Matty once told me how Mark played songs by Catatonia, Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey when we played Chester

[RedRedWine1]

Yep. That was in the home fixture last Christmas. A few Manics tunes got played also. Remember it taking me a while to get the link. I'm sure it was appreciated by the Chester fans.

I quite like to here Fanfare for The Common Man by EL&P.
