In fairness I am talking about a team that has 8/10 championship players, against whom you just wonder if you will get a chance at all. We all get excited by the super striker, just my own view that the way to glory is built on clean sheets. Mind you, that front line of course might compensate a tad! True, my example was a ridiculously extreme end of the spectrum. I guess perhaps the Johnson playoff team is testament to your theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Dazzler Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 On 14/08/2016 at 11:28, Iron Man said: The whole "wurzel" culture surrounded around the club is cringe worthy and makes us look seriously inbred. That is so very true. If I were in charge of the match-day music I would destroy any Wurzels music in the ground and then have a total permanent ban and that would include Wurzel songs being sung by the yokels in the Atyeo (or any other stand). We are meant to be a forward thinking and progressive City for God's sake, so why encourage something that, because a small vocal minority persists in peddling, reflects on all of us to make us seem intellectually challenged. I know loads of City fans - friends/work colleagues/relatives/ just random people you bump into etc and I cannot imagine that they have any affection for this image, it is just wrong! So why does the club choose to play this awful rubbish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest that we play are better though. My issue with Wurzels songs is they aren't anthemic enough, you've got Marching On Together, Keep Right On, You'll Never Walk Alone etc which sound great - but they're all slow songs with huge choruses. The Wurzels ones we sing are too fast to ever be as impressive as the ones I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad should come out to "Ride of the Valkeries"; DUTZ if we win and something by Gustav Mahler if we lose. The Slags could come out to Sousa's "Liberty Bell". Absurdity needs a suitable anthem.

Section 82 is shit. Why? Without them, Ashton Gate would've been a morgue last season. It's the only section of the ground that provides any atmosphere consistently. If you want a crap home atmosphere like Norwich or Reading - get rid of them. The issue for me is location; sound doesn't travel well there and limited numbers in the Atyeo mean people can't join in very easily as they're isolated. If you want Ashton Gate to have a good atmosphere with loads of people joining in - put them somewhere better in the ground where this can happen (south stand as the club originally suggested).
