I’ve seen and heard Bongser sing his Opera Arias , maybe he could give us a rendering of the Drinking Song .

I remember the days Charlie Knew.

Yeah so do I , I’m more of a listener these days , but in all honesty I feel to get a 10,000 plus crowd against Salford something has to be planned to excite the fans , and I have a feeling maybe an A list recording artist is planned by Derek , deffo a watch this space job.

is your thinking its along the lines of what they are doing with Horse Racing as i know they have been have gigs post the race meet for a couple of years now.
Would that work the same as with racing? Get a big name on before, HT or after? Would it attract people to the game and them stay depending upon when the artist was on?
i'm very much a get to the game (10 mins early at best), and applaud the players off, then head off home type of fan.

i'm not knocking, just curious how you feel it would work, and if it would attract a big crowd and they were there for the game too

I can just imagine the scenes , full east stand with people who have primarily come to watch , for example Rod Stewart. The cries of Salfordians singing “you’ve only come to see Rod Stewart “ as they pour out of the exits after his set.
There is a reason why this type of thing hasn’t happened before.

Media reporting 12500 at LSV to watch Leigh v Salford is all that matters - and no give away tickets to do so.

PS its Peter Kay

If you are going to spoof at least make it believable (and when he’s not on tour )

I too only usually get there not long before KO and leave more or less at the final whistle, but it’s not the likes of me these things (whatever they are) are aimed at.

I also hope that all this works out for DB, I do however feel a wet freezing February night could put a damper on things, unless it’s the circus!

......its Peter Kay

Readers should know that Mo is a WUM he has, however, hinted at the actual artists appearing. "The All Seeing I" (featuring (one of Peter Kay's old collaborators) Tony Christie) will perform "Walk Like a Panther" as a warm up to Georgie Fame & The C&W Flames, with Charlie banging the big bass drum in "Lily the Pink".

For all subsequent home games the teams will stroll out to a certain Henry Mancini classic.

....not "The Baby Elephant's Walk"!
