We are Torquay United we run out to A Banda (or should do).

Agree that A Banda is our tune. It's good to be individual, and I'm sure that is unique for a football team to run out to.

I've thought for sometime that Muse - Feeling Good should be in our pre-match play list though. And it's especially appropriate right now...

"It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And i'm feeling good..."

We should not confine ourselves to any one tune, the choice of which on any particular match day should be appropriate to the occasion, the cup competition, the league position, or the opposition..

should be Tubthumping by Chumbawumba....................

Correct!

And I'm not sure about Muse, I love them as a band but are they not City fans?

Then we'll have to have Nina Simone do it instead.

Matt.

Don't know the history of a Banda in regards to TUFC, but do think it's really distinct and actually a pretty cool song to walk out to, I'd get behind this if it were used!

Run out to A Banda and choose the end of the match song to suit the mood.

A Banda would be historical and nice to stay true to aspects of the past. Don't think anyone else uses it. Good choice I think.

No no no no.. That sounds far too lightweight. You might just as well play the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. What we need something which conveys a sense of unstoppable force and invincibility.

I'm going to be controversial here and say that A Banda is the most uninspiring music I have heard in a long time. OK, I can see the appeal that it once had.............in the nineteen bleedin sixties. It sounds like it belongs on a Carry On soundtrack. :~D

We need a tune with passion, drive and beat. Something that will get everyone going, players and fans alike. Something simple that we can all join in and sing to.

I know I have mentioned this before, but we can't do any worse than Chelski's Liquidator.

Given that most supporters can't or won't sing, perhaps something like this is all that's needed: or this:

The problem being, as you point out, it's Chelsea's song.

Some here seem determined that the song should be 'inspiring', and ideally it would be. But I'd argue the players probably aren't relying on the song for inspiration. In fact they probably barely notice it at all. If we're relying on a song to get the players fired up, we are in trouble.

Of primary importance to me is that it's unique, and can be immediately associated with TUFC.

Big fan of A Banda
