A big thank you to everyone for commenting and sharing your memories, its invaluable to the project.
To answer a few questions... In terms of the funding of the study (and the wasting tax payers money), these studies have very little costs, and any costs they do incur are funded through statistical training courses Chris runs privately. This is essentially a hobby project - Chris's day to day work is in statistics for more obviously worthy causes such as workplace related health, Nick's a teacher, and I work for a running company.
The reason we're doing this study is because we're football fans who are all interested in the game and what it says about the wider culture we live in. We're not only interested in what the music is/was, but the why - we're keen to see how changes in style, type of music used relate to a club's status, wider music fashions, the wider fashionability of football, how clubs have attempted to commodify the match going experience and the battle between globalism/localism.
Again, thanks for sharing what you can remember. Tiger Rag is a great tune! I'm assuming it would be unlikely to be used again currently?
If anyone else has any more songs to share please let me know. If you remember roughly what season a song was played that's very helpful too!
cheers
(and my apologies for bumping the thread up - sorry!)
btw, just for future reference, in hull, the football team is generally referred to as hull city or city, and never as hull. this is due to the pre-existence of one of the two local rugby league teams, i.e, hull. so the three are known as hull, rovers, and city. although to much of the world hull means hull city, its use that way does bother some people hereabouts, though personally i think hull city fans should embrace this and accept that hull means hull city rather than a team in a minority sport.
