Phileas Fogg Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I like the Ole chant - simply because the way we sing it is actually pretty unique to us. We go up on the "city" part, whereas most clubs that sing it go down on the "city" part (if you know what I mean). I don't actually hear many teams sing any version of it bar Yeovil.

Rich Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Whenever I hear that song (it's hardly a chant) I think of schoolboy or hockey matches, it sounds like a bunch of school kids waiting for their balls to drop. Absolute shyte, girly type song, unispirational and totally embarrassing. We need a rousing chant which is loud and doesn't sound weak like that one. There's only one that's ever come close to being loud, because it's hard to chant/shout "City" without straining your vocal cords and sounding like a girl, was the favourite chant of the seventies, "Bristol" with an extended B, as in "Ba-ristol". I know people won't like it but, shouting "City" just does not sound loud, the volume gets lost in the middle of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlered Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I think we need something that's a bit longer; the longer ones tend to last longer as they're not as repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scare_Man Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Whatever gets sung is literally two verses and then everyone stops. I always do my best to keep it going but it's almost like most people accept that as building the atmosphere. Mind you, having said that, last night there wasn't much to cheer about until 89 mins and then the atmosphere was red hot but mostly shouts of encouragement rather than songs.

Up The City! Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 The Come on You Reds to me is great when the whole stadium sings it. Makes the hairs stand up. Its a real lift to the team as thr other night saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Slightly off topic but why doesn't anyone chant for more than 30 seconds? There's nothing more frustrating, happens every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I think we need something that's a bit longer; the longer ones tend to last longer as they're not as repetitive. No we don't need anything longer. I know I'm repeating myself but when has song/chant composed on otib ever been heard at AG? I'm happy to stick to chants/songs that reflect our area and club. Songs like "drink up thee cider" and "I am a cider drinker". Ask pretty much any football fan what they associate with Bristol City fans and they'll reply "cider". I know, Ive chatted to many fans all over the country and "cider drinkers" is a very common answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agard Days Night Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Happy to join in on all songs except when it comes to declaring Bristol City FC as by far the greatest team the World has ever seen. I think there's a few clubs with more of a claim to that than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Me The Money! Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I thought we had quite a few different chants already - "We all follow the City!" - "Stand up if you hate the Gas!" - "Addams (insert opposition team instead of Addams) Family!" - "Cider!" - "2 men went to burn" don't hear that one so much now since the Gas moved to the Rugby ground - "Red Army!" - "Stevie Cotterill's Red n White Army!" - "C! I! T! Y! clap clap clap CITY! clap clap clap CITY!" - "And its BRISTOL CITY! BRISTOL CITY FC, are by far the greatest team the WORLD! has ever seen" Had to finish with that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
