Local Hero/Going Home - Bring it back?

[Guest Geordiesned]

This has been discussed and debated several times over the past few months and is yet again being discussed in the 'NUFC wants to hear from you' thread and yet I've never seen a show of hands on the subject. Some seem annoyed at its removal whilst others are glad it's gone. So, I'd be interested to know if you want it back or not. It's a simple yes or no poll so if you don't want it, it doesn't matter what you do want in its place. That discussion can take place once all votes are in if needs be.

 

All you need to answer is "yes" if you want Going Home (the theme from Local Hero) to be played as the players take to the pitch or "no" if you don't want to see it return.

[Dave]

I do, but my vote doesn't really count.

[Guest Geordiesned]

I do, but my vote doesn't really count.

 

Why don't you think your vote doesn't count? Because you don't go to all the games?

[Guest BooBoo]

I think its a bit of a dirge perosnally, but if it comes back then i wont be binning my season ticket. I'm not usually in till 2.59pm anyway!

[catmag]

I want it back. The beginning of the match seems a bit 'meh' without it.

[David Icke - Son of God]

Yes.

[Karjala]

Local Hero IS the Nufc coming out song.

[Sparks]

I'd prefer it to be saved for a handful of matches each season.

 

Playing it before every game means it loses its value.

I disagree. I think it's part of our identity. Either play it every home game or not at all.

I'll be going to half of the home games this year. My point was, as going to SJP is still a relatively new thing to me, I'm excited about experiencing the traditional atmosphere and build-up to the game. As an outsider this includes the aforementioned track. There's nothing boring about it at all, to me.

[Guest lessthanlee]

The run up to kick off just isn't the same anymore without it. Bring it back!!! Where's the PA Guy when you need him....!

You've a valid vote. Sadly.

[Guest WalkervilleMag]

we could come out to the crazy frog song for all i care, as long as we win.  Local Hero is a bit dated now  and Knopfler is just another Sting,  a Geordie when it suits him, cup finals ect.

How?

 

Its a cheesy song written by a Scotsman for a Scottish film IIRC.

 

I don't recall NUFC being in Scotland. 

 

When was it made? Early 80's? What did we do before then? When was the 1st time it was played, who decided that we adopted it? (really would like to know where it all stems from if anyone can answer, ta)

 

People over rate this song, its boring, dull and uninspiring. A new era could easily bring a new song, something with a bit of passion and charisma. Its not our culture, we can get rid of it, it doesn't define us by any mean.

 

 

[danswan]

As I have already stated, we should come out to a spine tingling tune guaranteed to get everybody in the ground up for the game.

Load of shite. It's not about the connection to the area, if it was then we'd have Jimmy fucking Nail singing Crocodile fucking Shoes. It's about the way it gets the crowd up and creates an atmosphere.

 

If you can put forward an alternative song that would be just as good i'm all ears.

If it didn't work for Jenas, who will it work for?

Does it though? It really has no effect on the players or the crowd, who we are playing seems to be the only thing that gets either lot going, not this song.

 

Theme tune to Terminator, or before SSN's changed their theme 'Requiem for a dream' but its over played now were my suggestions about a month ago in some thread on here.

 

Or create a competition for a new theme song or get some talented movie musical mogul thingy to create one for us, then it would be our own, just for us.

 

 

[Mr Logic]

Wrong emotional value for a pre-match song irrespective of meaning.

 

It sounds like the song you want to listen to after 5 pints of Magners and your lass is in your arms, sun setting over the lake etc. etc.

 

 

[Dr Venkman]

ace of spades, blatantly

[OzzieMandias]

No.

 

Uninspiring bollocks tune by one of the most boring musicians ever to come out of Newcastle.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Kanes WWE music complete with Pyros please.

 

Especially for midweek evening games.

 

Failing that bring back Local Hero!

[Tom_NUFC]

No

 

It's a bit of a dirge.

Outsider ? Well I never. Where yer from then, Dave ?

And heres me thinking you were one of God's children all this time.... :parky:

[Mick]

I voted yes but I'd prefer a better version of Blaydon Races if a one can be found, as someone said in another thread, start Blaydon Races then fade it out and let the fans sing the rest.
