Skidder1 7,637 Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) At least Sky are ringing the changes!! The old 'intros' were just that, old.......and boring!! Maybe if they are trying to reach a younger audience, they should show it - or something promotionally similar - on their other channels?!

The White Knight 9,039 Posted April 24, 2015 At 20/20 cricket at Trent Bridge it was Beggin by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, time and time again, slightly revamped but not a huge 1960's hit! Ice hockey tends to get the music right but then often it is short snatches when the play and clock stops for a few seconds. I'm all for short snatches. :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
packerman 160 Posted May 18, 2015 At Poole years ago we used to have Fanfare for the common man by Emerson, Lake & Palmer at the teams made their way to the parade (At least it's better that most of the **** on BGT). That's a great tune unless I'm wrong. On the downside we had to endure Congratulations by Cliff Richard :-( . For some strange reason we had the William Tell Overture as the riders came under starters orders for every heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was the Lone Ranger theme tune back in the '60s and synonymous with speed back then. Edited May 18, 2015 by Vincent Blackshadow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
