Would you be able to tell us how much of the Black Pearl off of Pirates Of The Caribbean is actually played please?

The clip we're using starts at about 35 seconds into the track and edited to about 2 minutes. The aim is to use it as a filler from the end of the video until the players come out.

Hello, can you possibily tell me what the name of the song is called, that is played with the footage on the big screen of the boys in action, its very dramatic, gladiatorial. Many thanks

Hi Beef, yep the backing track to the pre-match video is taken from Requiem for a Dream by Clint Mansell, more commonly known from the Lord of the Rings trailer.

Look out for an updated video coming soon!
