Maybe we can get Jerry Dammers back to reprise his stint on the turnstiles for us.

Pretty certain reading in his autobiography that King and some members of The Specials officially performed as part of Harry Roberts testimonial.

Yes JHB - I was there for my sins. Looks like testimonials are a thing of the past - anyone remember the last testimonial game for one of our players?

The last one I could remember was Dreadlocked Dicky Shaw’s vs Celtic but this seems right.

I imagine the crowd will join in and sing along but without the words will be about 3 seconds ahead as normal so we'll hear the band finish through the crackly PA system just after the fans.

Don’t forget the usual Singers corner race through trying to finish the song first

I think that's to prove who the best fans are that know the words. It 's more than a little cringeworthy having the words on the scoreboard but does at least help with the timing.

Unless they're setting up a stage in the stand I don't see how this will be logistically possible. If they're pitchside they'll need time to get everything out of the way before kick off.

Skip to 20 seconds to see what happens when Haji runs through on goal shortly after kickoff

We went to leverkusen the day they got the league title. They had a folk band play in the penalty area until 30 seconds before kick off

Remember the early days of Sky where every game that was on tele had an "act" beforehand. Remember us playing Forest at the City ground, evening match, and they had those two black kids who wore their jeans back to front performing. Horrendous.

I think that's why its in front of singers corner, that massive gate under block 12 is big enough to roll a small stage out the way in a few minutes quite easily.

I've worked at loads of games at Twickenham and Wembley and it's easily done. The best way is everything is pre set on a trailer. They just walk out jump on the trailer and play the songs. As soon as they are finished they wheel the trailer out. As there is the Ambulance entrance next to singers corner would be easy to do it there.

They'll park the bus on the goal line and it'll be a very frustrating 90 minutes.

Ticket sales for this game looking v strong already, good move by DK doing on Tuesday night, when likely attendance would be down little.

It'll probably be a platform that can be wheeled out.
