    1.75m.

    A shade more than Aguero or Don Bradman.

    Also, the B6123 will be quite small as well.

    One of my favourite bands are the Swiss techno pioneers Yello. Should we contact them to see if they can do a song for us called "Lukewarm-play" or something?

    This is just the test run to gauge ‘outrage’ against ‘acceptance’ for the inevitable news that we will leave Vicarage Road for a new bowl-like Stadium.

    Watch this space.

    It's disappointing that someone at the club got so giddy after the Wembley win that they thought it made sense to drop over 50 years of tradition and bin the classic, stirring Z Cars theme. I've nothing against I'm Still Standing - in fact I quite like it - but, to me, it almost encourages the players to skip, rather than march, on to the pitch - which must give a boost to the opposition. I expect home results to suffer if it is retained.

    As Holloway would say "it's just not roight".
    Z cars is very old fashioned but great, partly because of that fact.

    I've got nothing against change but if adding a new song it should be one you can sing along to.

    Sounded wrong to me

    I believe if results suffer due to a song that half the team won't understand anyway, then Gracia out. Now.

    Pretty sure there were some vote poles around on social media over last couple of months and 'I'm still standing was top of the list. Personally think he should write us a new anthem that can be sung, what do you think? :)

    Would prefer us to run out to this if we've got to change. Perhaps someone could contact the spirit of Mark E Smith to adapt for us?

    Z cars is a bit naff to be honest.
    Can we do the same as we did with Marco and his son and transfer it to Everton?

    We should stick with a 70s vibe. How about this for next season.

    'Addicted to Love' is crossing a line imo. Even without the desperate video it's a dirge that makes Nine Inch Nails sound like they can hold a tune.

    Now there's an idea for a new run out theme!

    I'm going to add a poll.

    I've nothing against "I'm still Standing" in fact it's probably my favourite EJ hits and if we had to change then it probably makes sense, we just dont; have to change.

    I vote for Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting and during the handshakes Deeney can put the nut on the opposing Captain so we can evaluate who wants it.

    The Supporters Trust are apoplectic about this.

    Expect a very strongly worded (and very tiresome) missive to be issued any day now, written using a school caligraphy set, in Black Chancery.

    No one will read it.

    I don't mind the change it was jus that the club did it so badly I didn't really know what was going on until the players started walking out. They could have at least let the fans know what it meant.

    Judging by the fact that three out of the five times I saw 'The Fall' live Mark E. Smith stormed off the stage complaining about either the vibe of the audience or the standard that the band were playing I'm certain this would be the greatest episode of 'Ghostwatch' ever:

    "...are you there Mark E. Smith...."
    "What the fook do you fookin' want you fookin' cuunt...."

    Could Elton do his version of the Sangria song?

    In a different time, I could see him singing it on Parkinson with Parky, gamely & awkwardly, accompanying him whilst stood by the piano.

    I vote for the Johnny Cash classic Ring of Fire, as a tribute to the half time catering and the lingering effect one enjoys after explosively ejecting it later in the evening.

    We've had several attempts to replace Z-Cars and it's always failed and we've gone back to the original.

    I think Gangster Paradise was the last time, but that was more because of the tragic death of Jimmy Davis.

    Watford has very little in the way of tradition. Z-Cars is the only thing that takes me back to the 1980's. For me it represents those halcyon days, even though it's been used since 1964.

    Not sure why we're so keen on ditching it again. Using another walkout tune will mean absolutely nothing to anyone, even if it's an Elton John song.

    I'm gonna go against the flow , Eveton used z cars first we copied them , imo it would be good to have something individually ours , whether I'm still standing is it I don't know but at least given a few years any Elton track will be easily identifiable as us and us exclusively.

    If we're going to go completely off the rails... We should go with "Life Sucks Then You Die" by the Fools.

    You betcha!

    They're planning a big get together in the snug at The Sportsman on Saturday, where all 4 of their members will share a bottle of Catweasel's Rusty Ringpiece and discuss their objections over the choice of 138.com as shirt sponsors.
