I'm sick to the back teeth of Three Lions, the song is a jinx and whilst Sweet Caroline is, in itself, a fine tune, I just don't get the football connection and besides, darts fans hijacked it quite some time ago....

I'm not a devotee of walk on music but if I had to Id go with something more rousing, like Right Here, Right Now..... But sure someone else has used that too

If we're going with a song by someone local, I can't believe everyone is overlooking the fact that Faye Tozer came from Northampton. I'm sure there are plenty of ditties in the Steps back catalogue we could use although, to be fair, the most obvious and appropriate one was actually a cover of a Bee Gees' song...

Yes she covered Tragedy, quite apt.

I too cant stand The Liquidiser or Equaliser as some Chelsea fans call it.  Smiley

For me the first minute or so of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Two Tribes has to be the most perfect run out tune ever.

Have the team emerge on 30 seconds...

Great choice. Not sure about the lyric "one is all that you can score" though.
Fabulous tune.

Pretty apt, given recent seasons?

What about Song 2 by Blur. Now that's a rousing song and I believe it's about someone having their head shaved. That's good enough for me.

 Grin Grin Grin I never knew you’d mention Blur. Wouldn’t “The Debt Collector” be more apt?

Sweet Caroline has been sung at T20 cricket matches for some years now, along with Hi ho silver lining and Hey Jude amongst others. I think it adds greatly to the atmosphere. They say they won't play it at the Hundred though as they say it encourages a 'boozy crowd' and they want to attract a family audience. Surely that's why people go to limited overs cricket matches to see 4's and 6's , have a pint and singalong to songs they know?  They have lined up a number of live acts to sing during the break and frankly I have never heard of any of them - mind you I am 74 and have no interest in today's music. I have watched the first two matches in the Hundred and they are as dull as ditchwater without the music.

Sorry if I have gone 'off topic'.

Yes, and generic super-teams who apart from daddy and ten year old boy, fans of Worcs, Northants, Derbys and Leics cannot identify with!

I was smuggly happy to see virtually no more at Headingley than when I was up there a few weeks back with the Steelbacks.

As a couple of Blackburn supporting Lancs fans at the T20 Finals (when Northants beat Surrey) laughed at the irony of everyone clapping away to the LA's There She Goes...quite explicitly a song about shooting Heroin!
Banging toon though!  Grin

It was actually written to prove that people will pay for any rubbish even if it doesn't make sense. Perfect song choice for us then  Grin

I expect that shite Liquidator will be played again but if the club need last minute suggestions...

Surely what we need is a recognisable top ten hit from a famous singer with a local connection?

Enter stage left...

Gene Pitney "Twenty Four Hours From Towcester"
