Can't see the quiet and reserved folk of Norfolk belting that one out I can imagine 1 or 2 will while the rest of the crowd fall about laughing. Still it will provide entertainment during the long tractor grades To be serious the idea is good but the execution is abysmal in all respects. Not exactly get up and go music more like a dirge Words are carp is that really a Rock Choir, sounds more like Girl Guides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Indeed. Nick Conrad suggested that a sport like speedway should have a theme tune by Slipknot or someone similar, wouldn't go that far personally but it definitely requires something heavier.

Haza Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well what can I say - this song it’s really going to up the atmosphere in the stadium with laughter if nothing else- bet Trees will love it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 This really goes to show how out of touch the promotion at Kings Lynn is - thought this was a new beginning not a step back in time - this so called anthem is cringe worthy and totally embarrassing for Lynn fans we are a laughing stock please please remove it from the clubs website- the worrying bit is Robin Brundle thinks is great .

tellboy Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Must admit i don't like the new anthem.But i can see what Lynn are trying to do,and that is to create an atmosphere.Most of us can remember the days of 2,4,6,8 and 1,2,3,4 they weren't much better but a lot of fans would chant it.Even if someone thought of something a bit more modern and punchy i don't think people would chant it anyway nowadays.The only way to get most fans singing and chanting would be to lace their teas and coffees with alcohol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What next Ging Gang Gooly? , As i said i don't really like it,but what you need is all the fans singing at the same time.If they do the it doesn't matter what the tune is as long as the words are good it would sound good.That tune still belts out around football grounds.I use to be part of 75,000 people that would sing that in the late 90's early 00's and it was terrific,especially when Shearer was in the stadium.

I said the idea is good but it needs a tune with some ooomph. I understand rock anthems would involve copyright fees it for heavens sake there are dozens of pieces of classical music that are well known and would adapt to a sports anthem providing they had decent words. off the top of my head Beethovens Fifth with Here they all come The Kings Lynn Stars as the first two lines for example.

Aces51 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 The fact they've listened to it and still put it out speaks volumes about how out of touch these people are. If you want to build atmosphere start by improving the presentation to give fans the impression that the sport is professional, slick and modern. Try allowing riders the freedom to react within reason to referees decisions and actions by other riders. Much of it was pantomime in the 70's but it certainly gets a reaction from the crowd. Fans love to see riders showing passion for their team and it certainly builds the atmosphere. Why is Nicki Pedersen such a draw card? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWP Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I can’t stop laughing - is this a wind up! I can’t believe anyone in Stars management really thinks this is good. Unbelievable as we travel back in time to 1970’s Don’t wish to be negative but this is absolute s h i t !! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 This chant will have away clubs and fans shaking in their boots. What's wrong with air horns? Speedway is a motorsport after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrotron Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 That is the gayest thing in Speedway I have heard since the name Turbo Twins, and shows the lack of moving with the times a complete and utter embarrassment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
