It shouldn't be down to a song played over the speakers to create a manufactured atmosphere. Some of the better nights at OT in recent years have been when the speakers have been turned off and the crowd has actually been heard from 10 minutes or so before the players enter the pitch which tends to allow the noise to build organically around the ground; but the club thinks it knows best.

- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
Stretford end tries to to be fair but the rest of the ground is dependant on the stretford. East stand isn’t so bad but there is zero atmosphere in the south.
Indeed and noise circulates badly enough in the stadium without the club doing their best to drown everyone out playing songs nobody wants to here. The only way it builds properly at the start of a game is if the club trusts TRA and the rest of the Stretford End to make a noise for the others to carry. Obviously the South Stand will only get involved once a season if we're lucky but that's fine, pretty much every club has a stand like that.
Bring back Rocky
The club did turn the music off before games for a period of time but it fell flat on its face and didn't help the atmosphere at all.
This is the One is a great song
It is but it was probably time for a change. Though United Road wouldn't have been something I'd have went with.
It’s a great song but a terrible entrance song .
I was at the Liverpool game , and United road came on when the players were on the field . I wasn’t at the game Tuesday night but did hear United road come on as Utd were out on the pitch on tv . Maybe they’ve removed This is the one and not replaced it with anything and put on United road just before kick off? I’m open to been corrected
This is the one played and then cut over to United Road. It got a good response from the crowd as they they kept cutting the song out to to allow the crowd to sing the chorus.
Too soon though, iirc it was when TRA had a small corner of the East Stand and there were only 500 hundred or so. They they were tucked away mainly under the South Stand roof above the tunnel which sounded great when you were under it, but no fecker could hear you outside of it; now they're central in the Stretford End with 2k or so plus the clubs attempt at an atmospheric section next to it and ST2 above they do have a real chance of making a difference but are being drowned out by music. If you were going to trust the fans to build it is now when you've got 5/6k behind that goal that want to make a noise from 10-15 minutes before kick off most weeks.
It was fairly unique and personal(ish) to the club. I’d prefer the club find something similar than the Rocky song which is the absolute opposite of that.
Yes agree we need an anthem like liverpools , West Ham’s, Cities etc. usually an older song 50s 60s 70s 80s perhaps country roads the Utd version should be our players walk out song. Any other ideas?
How about sham 69 if the kids are united a punk upbeat song where the fans can clap sing etc says united in it a lot and ends with the Utd chant
Maybe should let the players decide on something as it should hopefully get them going
They'd have Sabrina Carpenter the fecking plebs
Please please please (win).
Rock & Roll part 2
I always thought this would make an awesome entrance track
I cannot stand United road. It should go back to the rocky theme.
or Uncle Bryn.
Those anthems/songs are shite though.
I’ve suggested this too!
And Brum only has Villa, Albion and City, so no real competitors for the United song there.
No we definetly do not
Like a poster has said above there is enough in the singing section /TRA and with the execs gone from the Stretford end again I don’t think there is anything wrong with no entrance song and let the fans create the atmosphere. The opening verse of United road just at kick off and letting fans take it over then could work also and I think this is what’s happening currently.
“This is the one” needed to disappear anyways that’s for sure.

What happened to Fanfare from Rocky?
Exactly. Fantastic entrance music.
We had a deal with 20th Century Fox, that's why we did some promotional stuff with them over the years. (Deadpool & Independence Day 2 spring to mind)
I think the deal lapsed either just before or around the time of the Disney fox takeover and was never renewed.
Just play Stone Cold’s entrance music.
we should use the time before kick off to read adverts out for our key strategic sponsors and suppliers, helping to foster better relations at corporate level.
Have unskippable ads like on youtube, all fans must sit through them before the match is allowed to start.
It should be Giggs - Talkin The Hardest
“we’d love to kick-off but keith in block 7, row 14, seat 32 hasn’t answered all his survey questions yet.”
We joke but @Sweet Square will post an actual video of this in the Hypernormalisation thread.
Gary Neville got it banned because Balboa wasn't from Manchester. No one had the heart to tell Gary, Rocky was a fictional character.
It’s a bit WWE?
Agreed, we should come out to Rollin' by Limp Bizkit.
