When did we stop playing this when the Blades came out?

[Bennyand the Blades]

Some on here are just bloody Philistines .
Bet half of you don't even know the words too " Sheffield my Sheffield".......

 

[mattbianco1]

I'd even gladly revert back to the Star Wars theme, despite the fact that Star Wars is only liked by wankers.

I absolutely love Star Wars, but cringed every time we played it

Wow, that goes back a few years to black and white telly !

Being a sad twat, I googled that and it doesn't sound like the right version.

Sounds like some Wurzel type turnip mucnher and not the proper Yarkshur choral version that I remember from my yoof.

Did you just pick that one from Google, or are you actually saying that was the version we ran out to in the 70s and 80s?

Lets go with this with the words, Rumptie dumptie dumpie doo, rumptie dumptie da da.........

'Barwick Green' it's called and I didn't have to look it up, seared in mi brain.
Bloody BBC Light Programme, took off, 'Dick Barton, Special Agent', swash buckling, daring do British agent and replaced it with The Archers much to the distain of a 9/10 year old lad.
Can you find the theme for D. Barton, please, as I'm technically inept. Thank you very kindly, sure you would agree it would make a fine run out theme for the Blades and supporters could compose lyrics to sing along too.

The entrance music should be voted for by the fans every season IMO.

There you go. It's the TV version but same tune I believe.

 

[tyke1889]

Or this one might be better.

I read somewhere that Chris Wilder chose Clubfoot by Kasabian then it changed to Comeback kid

If anyone says differently, pass 'em onto me, you are a true 'Gentleman'.
Thanks so much, the voice over adds to the excitement, thanks again.

It was called " The Devil on horse back *

 

[Wapping Blade]

I recall us running out to it up until around the mid-80’s.

As has been pointed out, Ilkley Moor is West Yorkshire but the song seemed to have a wider Yorkshire identity back in the day. I have all the words burnt into my memory through it being taught in Music lessons at Meersbrook Bank school in the late 70’s/early 80’s.

Yep - We deffo ran out to it when I started going regularly in 1982, no idea when it stopped.

They should play the Champion by Willie Mitchell

 

[Ginger Gnome]

I was surprised when we started using Wolfmother as I didn't even know that song was particularly known over here (I was in Australia when it came out there and it was everywhere, but I've rarely heard it since coming back apart from in a few films). It works well as an entrance theme because of the really long intro and using the instrumental version means it doesn't really matter how long it takes the players to actually appear. The shit we used before was awful when it would start playing, then if the players didn't immediately come out, they'd stop it and start again when they actually started to come out of the tunnel, sounded really amateurish.

Absolutely despise that No Mercy crap we play before the entrance music, although that's partly because of the bad speakers/volume combo at the Lane and the tacky commentary bits played over it. The Premier League anthem is rubbish too, and kind of gets in the way of all teams' entrance/team news music.

Star Wars is perfect for night games when it's dark, we should still use it sometimes, don't see why we have to stick to a single track for every game.

Oh no it wasn't it was-"The Devils gallop" like it says..........

No you don’t.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

The older element may remember more than I do, but when I started going in the early 70s (1971) I don't remember it being used much if at all, certainly by the mid 70s it had ceased bar the odd occasion.

Written by RodCurrie at the turn of the 20th century I believe.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

When I started going t't lane it was the blues brothers tune we came out to, dave kilner on the mic with stan the man and steve thompson waddling out of the tunnel like tweedle dumb and tweedle dee

Thanks for the nudge, I had known that but like much of the periphery of life these memories often fade into the mists of our minds.
