Good afternoon 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/10.1080/17460263.2019.1578255).

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 Bolton Wanderers 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
Bolton 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 would be very happy to discuss the
project.

Thanks for your time guys,

Joe Headland

I remember that as being particularly wank. 

Preferred it in the seventies, when they just ran out to the roar of the crowd, particulary when we were up near the top of the table to the terrace chant of "Bring on the Champions"  

This absolute banger

 

Off topic slightly but does anyone else remember the PA bloke playing a song at halftime one match that two little kids had made up and recorded in the bedroom about BWFC it was as good as you'd expect. It was at Burnden I'd say about 94.. it was that surreal I keep wondering if I made it up in my head.

Mines probably still in amongst the CDs at my parents

That Star wars music (Or whatever it is) that the players run out to currently is absolute dog shit.

The Imperial March?

Saw us run out at the Tranmere game as my lad was mascot.

Reckon that’s the first time in 20 years I’ve seen the kick off

Around 96/97 seem to recall Children by Robert Miles was played almost every game but can't remember if we ran out to it or it was just played before the game or at half time

That carnival de Paris championes one as well, played a lot anyway

The Campione one was post-Euro 2000 and was the track for the goals compilation they showed just before the players came out. 

I liked it when wolves shot fireworks into the crowd when the players came out

Grass grows greener it’s sunny weather when football people all sing together.... was best ever, mid to late 70s no idea who sung it, think it was called “My world days of football”
