Slight hijack:I asked this question on a local board and no one knew the answer, I’m sure one of you will. I saw the game last saturday and was wondering what is the song they play over and over during the game? The camera showed some guy in the stands playing a trumpet and he played it non-stop. I can’t recall if they were singing along or not. Some kind of fight song? It sounded like something form the soundtrack of _‘The Great Escape’_ Go Brits! ---
