Anyone else notice we played The Great Escape music straight after the final whistle?

  • I'm assuming that it was the track you were supposed to have played :-)

    At least you don't have to take phone calls at the same time eh Dave!

    But I do have to put up with Lucas and Danny Boy!!

    Yes we did play TGE - It was a special request from Parky before the match. His words were "When we win, can you play the Great Escape?"

    He knew exactly what last night meant to us and made sure that the players knew.

    He said "When we win"? Cor, that's confidence for you.

    Paddy'd have his guts for garters if he did that to his beloved pitch!
  • i did notice that towards the end of the half-time interval, the intro to a song came on that sparked the palace fans into life with their 'we're the red and blue army'.
    don't know the title of the song but good work, whoever faded it out rather than play the whole thing.

    Me again and I didn't hear them singing it - I wouldn't have played it otherwise.

    Thought it was a good song. Nicked from Italy or somewhere via another English club no doubt. About their only decent song, mind you.

    Were - the - red - and - white - army

    It will work until we start singing Parkinson's Red and White Army (oh, you will Oscar, you will )
