The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Your ideas and thoughts are needed please on which music the players should run out to. If needs be, we'll run a poll on it early next week. It may be an idea to include a YouTube link to your suggestion as it's very likely that I won't have heard it if it's that new fangled music makarky ;)

Please post your ideas below; some suggestions so far:

Hi Ho Silver lining - Jeff Beck

Uprising - Muse

Shine On - The House of Love

Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes - Paul Simon

Light From a Dead Star - Lush

The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme - Colourbox

Life is Sweet - Natalie Merchant

We Will Rock You - Queen

Diamonds are forever - Shirley Bassey (Bond theme)/Arctic monkeys

Hi Ho Silver Lining - Slade version. ;)

Priority is, however, to sort out the rubbish PA first. :o

Do we think the PA at the Dog and Duck will do justice to the music, whatever it is ?

Well volunteered.

Do you have a ladder?

You can borrow my ladder but I'm 20 miles from the D & D and have no means in getting it to the ground and also have zero expertise in such matters but the fact remains that it's a waste of time thinking about music, as Formic has inferred, when the existing PA can only be heard by those standing on the social club verandah.
If we believe the PA to be important then perhaps we need to employ an outside specialist to sort it out.

The PA is being looked at, but in the meantime the Chairman will shout louder.

of course the PA needs additional speakers in the new stand and the Peter Ebdon stand, it is in hand to sort out but hasn't been as much of a priority as other things.

i think the idea of the thread was to put some ideas down as to what they can come out to which you may only hear near the clubhouse for the first game of the season but which you will be able to hear elsewhere later on

Thanks for that bozzer. Just loved the retro approach to announcing the raffle winners at the Luton game when the lad had the 50's style board with the winning numbers parading in front of the Peter Ebdon stand.

i think the speakers were last turned on in that stand about 1950!, so we are going to have to get some new ones and put them up

I think you are right. Slightly changing the subject but there appears to be a very dark spot on the floodlighting immediately in front of the Ebdon stand and we were discussing the other evening this problem.
