ZiderEyed Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I hate the fact they play music pre-game at all, but what makes it worse is that its all chart music. Lets have some proper ******* tunes, nobody wants to hear Sam Smith bleating before a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember our last promotion celebration against Coventry? Now stay in your seats and join in with these carefully selected songs that we are going to play. Crap frankly. Shouldn't that be "clap"?

spudski Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 So what is our Club anthem? I'm lost these days... Red Red Robin... One for the Bristol City... Drink up ye Zider? I'm actually embarrassed I have to ask. Most games I'd say it was 'Stand up if you hate the gas'...it's become that lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first sentence sums it up for me, especially where the song is random and unique to that club but is rousing and sticks with the club, however I don't think hi ho silver lining is unique to Wednesday, so is a bit sad.

North London Red Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 4 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: On a similar note. Rememer when they used to play James Brown when we scored? At least once the song was played only for the goal to be disallowed I think that was the Manchester City home game in 2007, when we had what would have been a last minute equaliser disallowed. The music went on for about 10 seconds after the goal had been disallowed and was embarrassing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin13 Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Just to clarify I never meant for that song to be Hi Ho Silver Lining just a similar concept. Seems to work well at a lot of other clubs that was all! Obviously would only endorse it if it were a song synonymous with City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 2 hours ago, Three Lions said: Not really in some circles back in the eighties it was on a compilation tape played on the naughty coaches and vans on dodgy tape recorders played alongside Tom Thumb drink up thy cider I am cider drinker day dream believer and Bristol punk bands. that was the soundtrack to endless away games. It had already been well established as Wolves' favourite song - the big one just before KO - for many years when I followed City to Molineux and heard it in Jan. 78. There's a huge difference between City fans bellowing it out on a football coach, amongst many other football songs, to associating it as a Bristol City song. It's no more a City song than a Rovers song - there was a weekly competition for rival fans to outsing each other when it was played at Tiffany's in the 70's. As a club blessed with so many original songs of our own there's no need to copy songs so strongly associated with other clubs. Playing it at Wembley, and the damp squib that followed, remains acutely embarrassing for everyone connected to BCFC to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine who's been watching since 1967 (the year Hi ho was first released) reckons he's never seen City win if he hears that tune before kick off.

It was a song that City fans have sang along to and was played at Ashton Gate and on coaches and vans following the club nearly forty years ago. So it does have an association with City fans. not the best not the worst. the tape it was on used to get songs added to it and played as the cider kicked in as the coach etc landed in wherever City played as a laugh and to raise the atmosphere. one of the later added to the tape was Tom Thumb which became part of the enclosure and its Casuals from 83-4 onwards. friggin in the riggin never did take off!!

PHILINFRANCE Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 For me, and this is going back many years now, it was 'When the Red, Red Robins', although this transpired to 'Drink Up Thee Cider' in the mid-1960s and has remained so ever since. Going off at a slight tangent, 'You'll Never Walk Alone' has been synonymous with Liverpool ever since they used to play the Gerry and the Pacemakers classic prior to kick-off, also back in the mid-1960s, but does anybody recognise (or think they do ) the former City player at 14 seconds and then again at 1m.23 seconds in the following link?
