Respect is set to be the key word this coming season, as The Football League gives its support to the FA's latest initiative.

From the big kick-off on August 9th the aim is to improve behaviour both on and around the pitch and, in particular, demonstrate a commitment towards greater respect for match officials.

The Respect campaign is being supported throughout the game and has the backing of The Football League, the Premier League, the Football Conference, the PFA and the LMA and for you the fans the most noticeable aspect will come before each and every kick-off.

The League has agreed to adopt the pre-match 'Fair Play' handshake procedure which has become standard at International, European and Premier League matches for a number of years.

The 'Fair Play' handshake will be part of every single pre-match ceremony for all first team competitive matches - Football League, FA Cup, Carling Cup and Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

As part of the new initiative, official guidelines state that 'clubs may wish to introduce their own theme music for the entry of the two teams onto the pitch and a second piece of music whilst the handshakes are taking place.'

Therefore, we want your suggestions for the run out music and the handshake music.Send your suggestion to us via email using gordon.sorfleet@buryfc.co.uk or logon to the official message board to input your suggestion there.

At the end of this week, all suggestions will be turned into a vote on the message board and the top two tunes will be used for the opening game of the season against Brentford and the remainder of the campaign.
