joeheadland 0 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Good afternoon everyone, I hope this is okay to post here – if not, moderators please move or delete as appropriate. I’m part of a team at the University of Sheffield, led by Dr Chris Stride. We've published a number of academic papers and magazine articles relating to football history, on subjects such as statues and replica shirts (see, for example sportingstatues.com, and https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17460263.2019.1578255). Our current project is investigating the music that football teams have run or walked out of the tunnel to over the years. We are looking for the music that Newcastle have run out to, for as many seasons in the past as you can recall. We are simply interested in the title of the song, the artist who recorded it, and for which seasons Newcastle ran out to this. Any help you can give us to piece together the different songs that your club has run out to would be hugely appreciated. If you have any personal anecdotes around the reasons for the songs being used, or the changes between them, that would also be fantastic. I should also add that we are not interested in goal music, or a song that is played at the final whistle, but just the song that is on the tannoy system as the players enter the field. If you think someone else may be able to help, or you have any questions, please let us know! We would be very happy to discuss the project. Thanks for your time guys, Joe Headland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Mackems 133 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Local Hero - Mark Knopfler. Must be 20 years or so since Shearer arrived as a player maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38501 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The fact “Clear White Light” by Lindisfarne isn’t and never has been our walk on song should be a source of shame. Proper local band, mint song with a rousing chorus bittybob. ( I also find the thought of 50,000+ pissed up geordies trying to hit the harmonies funny as fuck). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this 100% Round the time Viduka played for us the DJ would play "Run for Home" on the way out if we'd won...it was brilliant, 40k + all singing along,, though we got relegated that season so it wasnt played very much 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13804 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Toontastic need to form a partnership with one university so we can get some financial benefit and sack the rest of the unis off. Want to know how any pints we drink on average before the game? Fine. Pound sterling mate. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26580 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 They should've ran out to this on more than one occasion..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26580 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 There used to be a half time song that always got played, winning, losing or drawing. An instrumental but I've no idea what it was called. Upbeat and all 'jolly' which was all the more ridiculous when we were getting beat. Mid-80s ish. Morris dancing-esque. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Memory fading, but it seems to me the 'The Blaydon Races' featured at one time, which makes sense as its our National Anthem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
