Was the tune chosen for the game last night indicative of the hoped for result or are we now going to be subjected to this barrage of percussion and brass at every game...what do you fans think of bands during the game...is it within FA rules? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool_shades.gif" alt="" />

According to the FA hand book entitled 'crowds and acceptable behaviour' published in 1923 by Ivor Bigan, the playing of brass and percussion instruments at football stadia was deemed to be acceptable in moderation.(Rule 69) An incident occured however in 1928 at the FA Cup semi final played at Selhurst Park where a young lady of Rubinesque proportions ran onto the pitch covered only by a large brass basoon. A further incident occurred the following year at an FA trophy match between Avely and Wealdstone when a young gypsy boy stood on top of the main stand with a trombone covering his private parts and singing 'we'll be pikies to the end' a well known local football chant.

Thereafter the FA ammended the 1923 publication to prevent such further breaches of the rules and included a sub section to rule 69 that stated ' whilst the playing of musical instruments during a match is acceptable, this practice may only be carried out if the artist is wearing acceptable attire' This seemed to settle things down for a short period but in March 1932 a young man wearing stockings, suspenders and black plastic thigh length boots ran onto the pitch during a west ham v's chesterfield cup match and held up play by insisting on playing a violin and singing something like 'we'll be blowing bubbles for ever' to the tune of the Funeral March from Beethoven's third symphony. In due course this became the official west ham terrace chant and indeed history was written that day because west ham have been blowing bubbles ever since.
