Latics get in tune with supporters

LATICS fans are being invited to choose the music which will accompany key moments at Boundary Park next season.

Voting is under way to select the tune which is played when the teams enter the field for kick-off, and also each time Athletic score a goal.

The poll is being run by the club in conjunction with message board www.owtb.co.uk.

Supporters can choose a song in each category and text their favourites to 07956 088 035. For example, if you prefer Mouldy Old Dough as entrance music and Guns Of Navarone as goal music, text DA.

The choices for entrance music are: Dance of the Knights – O Fortuna; Liquidator – Harry J Allstars; Hi Ho Silver Lining – Jeff Beck; Mouldy Old Dough – Lieutenant Pigeon; Fanfare For The Common Man – Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Goal celebration music: Guns of Navarone – The Specials; Samba de Janeiro – Bellini; I Feel Good – James Brown; Seven Nation Army – The White Stripes; Song 2 – Blur.

The closing date for votes is next Tuesday, July 1, and all options can be heard on www.youtube.com.
