Opening Ceremony.

Good evening, fellow Wanderers!
Putting aside the mascinations of our pre-season for a while, I thought a light-hearted debate about how BWFC should hold an ' Opening Ceremony' for our introduction to Championship football.
The venue, well, the Reebok is ours ( or the bank's!) so might as well hold it there.
For a theme, well, we could have a circus theme, which may allude to our defending last season.
Also, a hint of Scotland must be included to placate our manager and coaching staff.
An opening ceremony wouldn't be complete without legends from previous eras- many spring to mind, Bruce Rioch, Big Sam, J.J., Super John, Andy Walker, Branners, Thomo, Ivan Campo, ( the list could go on and on).
So, how should the ceremony take shape.
Maybe, to the screel of bagpipes, a bunch of Scottish clowns could emerge from the players tunnel, some driving standard clown cars ( yes, of course the wheels fall off).
To reflect on our illustrious past, four players emerge from the tunnell, dressed in retro kits from both the twenties and fifties, carying replica F.A. Cups.
Oh, and then a 1980's Sherpa van drives onto the pitch.
For a sense of the surreal, a clutch of eggs is placed on the centre circle.
After a short period of incubation, the eggs begin to hatch.
From one egg, emerges the plans for thr Reebok Stadium.
From another,larger egg, bursts Sam Allardyce,
And what's this - a rotten egg, something smelly and ginger seeps out.
More bagpipe music, and from a thistle emerges a figure clad in baggy shorts and grubby training top.
" All hail our Celtic saviour" the adulation pours from the public address system.
An elevator door opens, the be-scruffed man in shorts enters the lift.
From nowhere, John Inman appears.
" Going down"
Please feel free to elaborate!
Enjoy what's left of the wonderful summer.
See you at Turf Moor!

We could do more to get the atmosphere going before a game. A song to rouse the fans that tells us the team is in the tunnel.

The clowns could just wear Megson masks to save the bother of painting their faces.
