I think that sums it up, to be honest.
There's nothing intrinsically [iwrong[/i with the little trumpet and drum thingy, it's just just being played when the Odsal faithful are pretty pigged off and not very receptive to it (aka just when we've conceded a try). And, of course, the more we concede the less receptive we become so someone really ought to bite the bullet and say enough is enough, 'cos I for one don't want to hear it a dozen times (or so?) this Saturday.
Incidentally, I don't think it's done to "put off the receiver", any more than it was when, a few years back, Leeds used a cavalry charge bugle tune whenever [ithey[/i kicked off. Actually the Leeds tune was probably more appropriate as it suggested a call to arms after conceding a score. The Bulls one is pretty anonymous in comparison. To be fair to Leeds (I never thought I would [iever[/i write those words), I think the "marching on" song is cut off on the PA when the ball is kicked off but it is carried on by the band in the crowd, though as the TV point is directly over where the band is and where the crowd are singing, I can understand why many won't realise this.
