There have been a couple of posts lately about the meeting presentation (not that I can find them right now...), I remember a few years ago that specific riders had music that was played when they won a heat, for example Shane & Firestarter. Now I'm not great with music, but I thought I'd start a topic to see what we could come up with for the 2011 team: Joe Screen Josh Grajczoneck James Grieves Christian Hendry Theo Pijper Michal Rajkowski Nick Morris Would be good to have a couple for each so we don't have to listen to them after every heat, since we know they will win them all . There's a couple of other things that could also be a reason to play specific music, e.g. 5-1's or the start of a heat etc.

"Tiger" by Abba must be long due a comeback.
Land down under for an Aussie heat win would be cheesey but appropriate. 500 miles for Scotland's number one would be good as well. I'm not sure where in Holland Theo hail's from but what about the Max Bygraves classic Tulips from Amsterdam.

Joe used to have Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex when he was at Bradford(I think it was!), not that I would want to hear that 5 times a meeting!!! The Pied Piper for Theo by Crispian St Peters Hopefully someone can come up with something as brilliant as Dont stand so close to me as used for George Stancl

Ask the riders themselves.....every1 likes different things. I wouldn't want stuck with I tune I didn't like.

I think playing a particular piece of music when one of our riders wins a race would be consistent with what happens in other sports such as football with most teams playing the same tune everytime a goal is scored.
However, without sounding like a broken record (see what I did there?!) the PA system @ Ashfield must be one of the worst in the league?
Maybe it depends where you are in the stadium but I sit in the stand and can hear MM / JC but the music sounds like it is coming from a hole in the ground.

let's get ready to rumble would be a great one, only thing is the moaners usually play a kinda remix of that at the start of a meeting... i'd like a bit of queen: we are the champions, don't stop me now, hammer to fall, under pressure.... could all be appropriate speedway songs.
or how about speedy gonzales... not heard that song in ages!

I think that I remember Jimmy Coyle playing Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" after the last heat at Shawfield regularly during the glory years.

I think the riders choosing there own music is a good idea, obviously within reason. Maybe when we have a guest racing we could have a set song that gets a giggle, albeit i have no idea what.
You might not know the songs the riders choose at first but when you hear it after them winning a race, you will soon be loving it and singing along.
