Hark Transplant - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands that from Saturday, Town's home goals will no longer be lauded by the playing of Tom Hark by early eighties band The Piranhas. Instead, Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis will get an airing each time an opposition keeper is beaten.

SGR FM DJ Tim Cole started a campaign to have Tom Hark replaced earlier this week, suggesting The Fratellis' song as its replacement, a crusade which has quickly borne success.

Tom Hark has been played after Town goals for the last four years having initially appeared as a light dig at Sheffield United after the Blues came from behind to defeat the Blades 3-2 in the second of two epic games between the sides within a fortnight.

At Bramall Lane in an FA Cup tie the home crowd had somewhat over-celebrated their 4-3 victory with Tom Hark the soundtrack, something they were reminded of at Portman Road 14 days later.
