Bigsby Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Um, much as I would like to see a Mark Knopfler song used, isn't Local Hero a bit too associated with Newcastle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Stone Roses is just a total throwback to the casuals days. Kasabian has nothing to do with the Dons in the slightest, and that's not even their best song. I've never heard the local hero theme but having Youtubed it's a slow instrumental, hardly something to get folk singing on the terraces. We should use The Fratellis Chelsea Dagger.

Bigsby Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I've never heard the local hero theme I'm sure you will have heard it, it's what Newcastle Unite use. There are different versions but I would imagine they would be using this from 0.20 in:YouTube - Newcastle united - Local Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should use the theme from Auf Wedersen Pet instead. That's living alright!Or Minder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 What a shite list. That's just embarrassing, lazy and predictable. What was the point in having a competition if they're just gonna use generic rent-a-anthems like that? with the possible exception of the local hero one. We will rock you?! like i've never heard that at a stadium event before.If they're going to be predictable, at least be inventive with it... like using the DJ hype version of the Rocky theme tune or something.

If I'd actually bothered voting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 If Aberdeen start using "Local Hero" I will personally plant a big fuck-off bomb undernearth the Dick Donald stand and detonate it on Saturday.- Disgruntled Newcastle fan.

How about that drum and bass remix of the sesame street theme tune that was knocking about in the mid 90s? i'd go to a game for that alone.

Anyway, Newcastle dropped it the season before last so it's only fair that somebody else gets a shotty (yes, I know it's since been re-instated).
