Matches Pre-Match Music

No, no, no. A thousand times no.

We should NEVER play music after scoring. It is the very definition of tinpot. There is no more joyous sound than a football crowd just after a goal has been scored and we don't need some smaltzy music drowning it out.
If that happens I think I would give up going altogether.
 
not perhaps for running out to , but, Ace played prematch once at the Manor ( on the pitch - well sort of) , not an Oxford band , but a link to the Manor era

( personally I prefer The JJ Barnes original , which Ace covered- but, history is history, Ace played pre match at the Manor)


Far be it from me to question your musical knowledge @Sarge , but I'm pretty sure the Ace version was the original, and was written by one of them. I think the JJ Barnes version came out about two or three years later?

I do like the JJ Barnes version though, it's a bit more upbeat than the Ace version. Great voice too. Both good songs though.

I remember Ace performing at the Manor, I'd never heard of them before, and there was another band that played before a home game a few weeks later (can't remember who?) before the local residents complained about the noise, and then it never happened again!!!

Starry Eyed and Laughing? Before my time, but I know one of them now lives near Woodstock, where I saw him play quite recently.

'How Long' was actually written by Paul Carrack, later of Squeeze and solo.

Also Mike and the Mechanics. Went to see him a few years ago in Guildford. Very good musician and had some excellent people in the band with him.
 

I think we have found out running out music.....
