Before we have an agreed song for the team to run out to, it would be useful to have a PA system that allowed us all to hear it properly.

I think this is a case in point (however incidental it may appear for others) for how more fan engagement or fan voice in the club could be realised while still recognising the many behind-the-scenes things that the club has to get right (things that are only visible if things go awry such as disciplinary records, health & safety etc.). Things like music shouldn't be top-down or arbitrary but as a result of a process decided buy the many and perhaps adjusted season by season in lieu of a fixed preference. Laurence's original suggestion would perhaps give us the edge in the first two mins of games as it would throw the opposition. I'm not sure what tune would work. Local would be good or if not one that had some relevance to the locale or team.... Sean Connery narrating Highlander: "From the dawn of time we came, moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the gathering, when the few who remain will battle to the last. No-one has ever known we were among you...until now" - - - and then Queen's 'Princes of the Universe' (or another Queen song). ?

I don't think Bell lost interest. He always seemed to give 100% as far as I was concerned. He certainly started the season more effectively than he finished it but I think there are 2 reasons for that. Firstly, playing with Baird suited him. Baird was also small and so our style of play reflected that with balls played on the deck. The emergence of Oakley and latterly Austin changed the way we played and Bell seemed to play a little wider and deeper when paired with them. The second reason is that defenders became more effective in simply bullying him off the ball. He's a lively player and has an eye for the snap shot at goal. He's OK as a squad player at this level but I'd definitely rate Oakley, Austin and MacKay ahead of him.

You mean this one ? (extended mix) I would go with a clip from the faster paced portion of Wolfstone's - 'Battle' or maybe ask one of our own members here to re-mix his cup final song ! If something 'local' is considered 'twee' then how about 'heroes' by Bowie or a little respect by Erasure, both of which are in this video Or maybe 'Miserlou' by Dick Dale and his Deltones as for the original suggestion .... no, no, no, no, no ..... NO !
