Should we bin Glad All Over?

[Pheonix Vale]

it's too 'girly'

something more heroic such as 'Men of Harlech' as in the film Zulu.

the words changed to " Men of Boslem!"

it can be sung to encourage our team - if they are being overrun (by West Brom)

We'd then turn the match around - do a Giant Killing !

and win 11 VC's for a brave performance

even the West Brom fans would slope away, after the match carrying their shields,

and singing their praises (led by their leader Tony Pulis) for our heroic fightback.

- Just like the film

[Yukon]

Groundhog year on here.

 

Which are your favourite oatcakes spunkers?

[Tomo]

I think we should have a drum. Or is that just tinpot?

 

Maybe we should all bring a vuvuzela as well.

 

Or maybe not because that would be just as, if not more, annoying. Some people are complaining about music just after we score, having an instrument played throughout the whole game as well would not make that any better.

How about something by our most famous local classical composer?

A choral extract from Havergal Brian's Gothic Symphony (must be on youtube somewhere; the Paddock would soon pick it up, if they'd been in the pub long enough).

It would confuse and demoralise the opposition (as it does musicians).....

That would then perpetuate the myth that Port Vale is somewhere in Wales... :rolleyes:

And it would bladdy well demoralise Valiants too especially the 1 hour plus version

 

[Houston Valiant]

It's rubbish and outdated, and not a tradition.

No music please, it will get like united sucks of America basketball with continual tat blaring out - replace it with canned cheers and applause if we score a good goal and only when it puts us ahead or equalises, not if losing.

 

 

You really hate all things American , don't you?

Now that's a good call, we should also pipe it into the visitors dressing room for the 4 hrs before the game, would really send em to sleep.

 

I'd replace "Wonder of you" and "Glad all over" by "Feel the love" by Rudimental and include the trumpet solo, would be brilliant.

[Houston Valiant]

Really bad song, by a crap band. Razmatazz belongs in the US as their sports are so god damn boring.

Bin it, sack it, smash the disc into a millions pieces please.

 

 

I've been to American football games , and Basketball as well. They are far from boring.Baseball is boring though.

Americans themselves find football to be boring , with all the back passing , and the possibility of a 0-0 draw.

Personally , I don't like music after scoring, so I'm in favour of getting rid of GAO. We should also try to get rid of

very loud pa announcers , who sound like the band Kiss (alright then, AC/DC) when they announce the scorer,

and give team line-ups etc.

[RayWalkers40yarder]

im not a fan of plagiarising some other teams use of music so for me, BIN IT. we have our own identity with the wonder of you....its been around as long as ive been going the vale and longer...and im happy with it

[gav.. born in lorne st]

Hate it. Bin it. Never liked it.

[Bea Smith]

Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Bernie Sanders, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, the MC5, the Steve Miller band, Rosa Parks, Harvey Milk, Ralph Nader, Joseph Wedermeyer, Gertrude Stein, Allen Ginsberg, Jefferson Airplane, Kurt Cobain, Gore Vidal, Patti Smith, A Philip Randolph, Johnny Thunders, Winona LaDuke, Michael Moore, Kshama Sawant, William Burroughs, Rachel Dolezal, Eugene McCarthy, Edward Bellamy, Armistead Maupin, Jack Kerouac, Jim Morrison, Ruth Weiss, Edward Snowden, Jesse L Jackson, Edward Dahlberg, Jimi Hendrix....

How many there realise that these wondrous people they been, or are in their midst ?

Get rid. replace with Fire by Kasabian that would get everyone bouncing

Ice Hockey (NHL) boring? have you ever watched any, its one of quickest, most physical, most exciting and brutal sports there is and fantastic entertainment. Agree viz basketball though!!

Couldn't agree with that, horrendous...I don't really mind keep GAO, but if we are going to get rid, don't replace it with anything.
