The Spiders from Mars are better, and they're actually from Hull.
Paul Heaton's a Blunts fan from Merseyside, and he's also a bit of a ****.

Mick and Trevor were from Hull, and Woody was from Driffield. The Spiders from Mars were better and more influential than the Housemartins, in my opinion. I just think they're more synonymous with the city of Hull.
This isn't about which band is better or which one is more synonymous. Musically, I prefer the Spiders to The Housemartins, but that aint the point.
The Spiders were from a different era. Not only would the Housemartins be more relevant in terms of how many people are familiar with them, but they also had a football mentality about them; how the **** could you overlook a band who had an album called Hull 4 London 0?

It needs to be played before the teams come out - or preferably instead of the inane "good evening ***** stand" that we have to suffer every home game

Why does it? People just look around at each other thinking wtf and waiting for it to finish
If its going to be used instead of "Wise men say.." which I was under the impression it was, then IMO that is the best time for it to be played so we get more than just a couple of lines of the song. Might as well not bother if all we are going to use is the couple of lines we are currently getting.
