Barbie Girl would be my suggestion
Screw it .. Hells Bells. In all honesty i'd love live wire from them as an entrance song.
Fanfare for Rocky is spine tingling - great memories, probably my favourite.
this is the one - I do have a soft spot for it, also had it as my wedding reception entrance song!

In!
I don't agree with changing the walk out tune. The Roses have produced one of the greatest albums of all time.
If we were to change it the only thing I would change it to is Sit Down by James

Someone already suggested “Step On” but for me it should as Loose Fit by the Mondays. Absolutely massive riff with a filthy swaggering beat behind it. The Mondays are the best Manchester band, nqat
Yup. If I can still love The Smiths with everything Morrissey's up to, then Brown's covidiocy is nothing.
I'm trying to think which Joy Division song that'd be, and the only thing that comes to mind is "New Dawn Fades".
Even with Manchester producing more of my favorite bands than any other city in the world, it's surprisingly hard to find worthy candidates. Some are ruled out because they're avid City fans - The Fall, Oasis. Even The Smiths are split - Morrissey reportedly United (and Rourke confirmed), but Marr decidedly City, to an extent that makes it hard to believe he'd okay the use of their Music at Trafford. Then there's the fact that most mancunian music is not of the sort that lends itself to the occasion. Too much darkness. Matt Johnson is a confirmed big fan, but which The The song would suit? "Angels of Deception"? "Twilight of a Champion"? So's Howard Devoto, but again, which early Buzzcocks or Magazine song? "Boredom"? "Permafrost"? Actually, "Shot by both sides" might be nice, musically if not on title. Or "Rhytm of Cruelty". Then there's Morrissey's "Munich Air Disaster", which I love, but it's Morrissey, so that's obviously a no-go these days.
New Order though, there's got to be something there. "True Faith"? The Wedding Present's "Kennedy" would be great, but maybe the lyrics would be painfully apt as a description of our squad in recent years: "Lost your love of life?/Too much apple pie"). Although it includes a ready-made transfer strategy too ("You've got to pick some people up/You've got to let some people go"). It helps of course that they named an album "George Best".
But on balance, perhaps best to stick with the Roses.
I have a perfect one for Leeds though, from local stalwarts The Mekons: Darkness and Doubt - YouTube.

Absolutely, both are a idiots but hey who gives a shit.
Having Bitter Sweet Symphony suggested has just made me want it to happen.
As soon as that first violin note hits the place would go up. I genuinely just got goosebumps imagining it.

Tutti fruity?
Pounding by Doves.
you’re welcome.
you’re welcome.
I also personally don’t think it’s a great walk out tune. It’s slow and a bit drippy and sounds like it could be the theme tune to a Saturday morning cookery show. I preferred Rocky but Mancs of a certain age are obsessed with the Roses, so I can understand the cultural reasons somewhat so…. eh
That said Manchester has a lot of good music, so it’s not hard to find something just as suitable. As others have said Bittersweet Symphony and Step On have a lot more swagger than something that sounds like it could be at the start of a 90s sitcom they played on a Sunday morning on C4.
Which is amusing as they’re less eclectic than fecking Oasis! It’s literally just the first half of one album that’s passable.. but if you’re 45 and still partial to a bucket hat it’s Beethoven’s 9th

"Joel Glazers gonna die"
Not like he watches the matches or will know anything about it

Personally I’d rather Fools Gold if it’s got to be a Roses song. At least it’s got some swagger about it.
Gotta be Stormzy and too big for your boots
I think the I Wanna be Adored intro is probably the closest to a recent ring entrance. I love War - Rocky 4. But Saltord City can have it.
Fanfare for the common man by ELP would be a great track for the team to walk out to. Only music though. An old slow song like liverpool and west ham have so the song can be known and sung by the crowd.
That’s more Tory than voting against disability benefits. Give me tin foil hat monkey man over the guy who fecks cheese.the Roses walked so Blur could run
Most 90s UK rock bands pale in comparison to Busted

Not gonna lie, the tune would be epic.
'This Is The One' is a great song, but it just doesn't have enough about it to be an entrance song. Even when I listen to it with headphones on, the bit where it's just bass on its own, and even the first chorus, are just so quiet. Maybe the original idea was that everybody would sing a long with it, but that's not happening.
I liked the Rocky fanfare, as it didn't feel separate from the crowd noise, it felt part of it, and still allowed for the crowd to chant over it.

Motley Crue 'Shout at the Devil'
Our luck we would get Devil Woman by Cliff. I actually quite like it, but not sure I would want a football team walking out to it.
Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva ... potential to get the crowd up perhaps.
More Human Than Humam by White Zombie ... was the preferred choice of my basic training instructor to get us motivated in the morning.
There are many rock/hard rock/metal songs that could pump up the crowd.
German teams seem to like their rock music.
Cincinnati Bengals use Welcome to the Jungle but it does fit with the large cat mascot.
Great tune but Doves are City fans even playing on the hallowed Maine Rd turf. Perhaps, Europe - The Final Countdown?
Please tell me you're joking. Not only is it a ridiculous, shit song - it's THE ICONIC ridiculous, shit song.
