Penny Arcade (with Poll)

I'm happy with Penny Arcade I'm possibly one of the few who does knows all the lyrics, I'd love Motorhead and "TIME TO PLAY THE GAAAAAAME!" especially at a night game, full blast.

 

Interestingly........straight up not sure but play offs.... we can get a result at home and away depends on the wind........ We should however have some dibble in January to buy a really good midfielder and attacker...the world is our lobster Broncs...

 

We're getting some policemen to buy players??.. radical but I like it.

 

Played at loads of NRL games too. Think it’s great. Also like Into the Valley - City definitely walked out to that before and also liked Walk this Way. Not a fan of Penny Arcade, but like someone said earlier, we haven’t lost since it’s been played.

 

It's so obvious.

What ya gunna do with a chicken on ya...

 

Think they played Thunderstruck at Newcastle didn’t they? And The Ramones, loved it!

 

That's a reet stomper.

 

Not a patch on the original version by The Jacksons

 

But not chickens on anyone's head

 

What about at the end of the game after we’ve put another 3 points in the bag

another one bites the dust - Queen ?

 

I'm a little late to the conversation here, but in answer to the original poll question, would I want Penny Arcade as the 'entrance music'? No, absolutely not. Our adaptation of 'Country Road' is perfect and should absolutely remains as the 'entrance music'.

However, Penny Arcade is a proper upbeat track that seems to get the vast majority of the crowd up on their feet, the flags waving and creates a nice buzz in the air. As a pre-match build-up track it works and works very well. Opposition fans have spoken about our pre-match build up on their forums and wished their clubs could do something similar - so it's clearly doing something right.

It also seems to transcend generations. It's not a track from my childhood, and it's certainly not from my 9 and 11 year olds childhood, but we love it as do the many people around us in Midland Road.

Keep it as part of the pre-match build-up I say. No need to change it. What I would advocate is adding Penny Arcade to our repertoire of in game chants.

I know music is subjective, but when you have a song that just works in terms of getting everyone joining in, it can become an impressive sight. Ignoring the political tweak they've made, just look at Glasgow Rangers. When they get going with Penny Arcade it really is impressive to see - even Celtic fans begrudgingly accept it is.

As Sammy King wrote it, and given he's from nearby Batley and was part of a Bradford band, then at least there is some relevance from a Bradford connection perspective. It works, so let's use it to our advantage.

 

I agree with every bit of that post!
