Music Accrington Stanley have run out to..

[joeheadland]

Good morning everyone,

I hope this is okay to post here – if not, moderators please move or delete as appropriate.

I’m part of a team at the University of Sheffield, led by Dr Chris
Stride. We've published a number of academic papers and magazine
articles relating to football history, on subjects such as statues and
replica shirts (see, for example sportingstatues.com, and
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full...3.2019.1578255).
Our current project is investigating the music that football teams have
run or walked out of the tunnel to over the years.

We are looking for the music that Accrington Stanley have run out to, for as
many seasons in the past as you can recall. We are simply interested in
the title of the song, the artist who recorded it, and for which seasons
Accrington Stanley ran out to this. Any help you can give us to
piece together the different songs that your club has run out to would
be hugely appreciated.

If you have any personal anecdotes around the reasons for the songs
being used, or the changes between them, that would also be fantastic.

I should also add that we are not interested in goal music, or a song
that is played at the final whistle, but just the song that is on the
tannoy system as the players enter the field.

If you think someone else may be able to help, or you have any
questions, please let us know! We are very happy to discuss the
project.

Thanks for your time guys,

Joe Headland

We previously ran out to cart on

Swords of a Thousand Men by Tenpole Tudor has been used a lot

[DAV007]

Jase and the ultras once ran a campaign to change the run out music to slayer - raining blood, but the majority of fans opposed the idea.

I think Cashy was on tri-angle back then

[Bob Dobson]

On, Stanley, On, ( a phrase from Shakespeare) was written by a Stanley director in the 1950s.

[ossy kid]

Sang it many a time at Peel Park.

I think that we had an old 78 record of On Stanley On sung by Accy Male Voice Choir - I remember trying to sing it at Peel Park but me dad told me to shut up it were bad enough wi'out me joining in.
