Just so people understand the thinking behind this, It's a remix of dance track based on gladiator the film so it's of a Centurion theme.

Appreciate it won't be everyone's cup of tea but the players want it and we have to try and move with the times and target a younger audience also.

While high oh silver lining will always have a special place in the heart of leigh fans many people have complained that the music is old hat and yesteryear so we are just trying to give the new leigh centurions a new musical experience to match.

A guy who is now a good friend of mine and the club and also works for our official club partners "Evans Halshaw" cut and edited/ mixed (whatever the technical term is for this stuff

) this especially for Leigh Centurions free of charge which I'm really grateful for.

DJ Caino is a Ministry of Sound DJ and can command over 150 pounds per hour his gigs so it was nice of him to take the time do this for us FOC.

When he issued the CD to me with it on I played it very loud through my car sound system and it is awesome but less so if played through an iPad or PC on here.

I just don't think it's either loud enough or has enough bass through the PA system at LSV to have the desired effect however I do know that Michael Ward and Rob are giving up their own time out of hours to sound check and test the music systems working with LSV and are working hard to identify the problem and improve the sound so we are doing our best please rest assured.

Cheers

Hope its all sorted for Elton’s visit.

Probably in a minority but I don't think this music does the job, but then I think players running onto the pitch is more uplifting than strolling on.

I really like the tune and it sounds great at full volume. It's definitely something that I imagine would get the lads' heart pumping if it can be played loud enough.

I'd love a piece adding at the end, where is says 'We are free' - it would be great if we could then add a really loud 'We are Leigh' just as the music finishes.

I'm afraid I was the one who originally put forward the last piece music (Carmina Burana : O Fortuna ) but we have used it now and to good effect. I don't have a problem with us having a new theme music for the players entrance to the field, in fact I think it could change every season. Can you post a link to it please Andy then we can listen and get used to it. Onwards and upwards is what I say and variety IS the spice of life.

Quote ="Michael_Ward"We're doing our best to sort out the issues - the solution is proving elusive so far, and the biggest issue is that we only seem to have problems when the stadium has a reasonable number of spectators in.

Thanks Mish. Note to ones self. Must pay more attention.

Right I have listened to it now and although I like the music these are my thoughts. In that format it is too twee for the entrance of our team. It needs the base line increasing to make it boom and needs playing loud. It needs a crescendo of that base line and a gradual tempo increase, then a fade off. The biggest problem I can hear is that it sounds like an RU theme. Those are my thoughts but with a bit of tinkering it could work.

Personally I loved the entrance theme. Now if we can just get more of the crowd belting out some songs just after it....
Especially the west stand (can hear a pin drop)

James "Caino" Cain [urlhttp://www.djcaino.com/[/url does work for me at Evans Halshaw as our Marketing/internet specialist but does also ply has trade as a Minisitry of Sound resident and travels around the world hosting music & sporting events.

His first taste of Rugby League was when i took him to watch the Wigan V Leigh Challenge Cup game last year and he fell in love with the noise and passion of the Leigh fans and since then has been to nearly every home game.

He very kindly did a remix of this song for the club but did specify the stadium sound system would need looking at as it just is not loud enough or have enough bass to correctly get this music through to the crowd correctly.

He also edited 19 other tracks to be played at key points i.e after a try is scored or a goal kicked but as yet none of those have been played as yet.

The key for me is the Speaker system just does not sound right for a state of the art stadium, You could have Pete Tong playing but it would still sound rubbish.

Fair play to the bloke. All helps make the matchday experience better, especially for the younger generation. These things are very very important in my personal opinion

Just been on Caino's blog. There's loads of stuff on there that I would love us to play at certain times in the game. Be great to record the north stand and put some in a mix.

Appreciate the insights SRW, and after all its only my opinion. If the young 'uns like it then I suppose that is the way to go. Hiho silver certainly isn't a song to walk out to..!

I agree there mate if the likes of Dylan are having a good match day experience then that's a massive thumbs up & is paramount to the long term survial of our club

I'd like the teams to come out to 'Entrance of the Gladiators' just once in a season...for old times sake. (Am I the only one?)

The new tune sounds ok though, I like the "UNLEASH HELL" bit.

Like the idea not sold on the "tune". Thanks to the bloke for doing it though, might sound better when the PA is sorted and played to a packed ground, would like to hear the stuff he's done for trys and things, the club should definitely be keeping in contact with him.



How about a full "Heritage match" once a season (like they have in the NRL) March of the Gladiators, old fashioned cherry and white hoops with the town crest on a black patch, if it's possible to design the scoreboard to look like the one at Hilton Park (if it's not a massive hassle), get a few past players in the Legend's Bar and on the pitch at half time, have a collection and donate the match sponsorship money to a local charity.

Well we've already got the broken clock...

I know where the real broken clock is lol
