One of, no,  THE simplest of all our chants, but one of the best and when the whole Gate joined in definitely one of the most powerful and obviously unique to us!! ... NOBODY does it better, NOBODY.

Barrrrrrrrrrisssssssstool ! Barrrrrrrrrissssssstool !   

 

COYR's 

 

(obviously brilliant away from home too! many a train station and terrace echoed to it!)

 

I wish Bristol Sport could come up with chants that can be used at BOTH the Football and the Rugby to help the atmosphere.

Would make it much easier for people who have the free tickets from the other code etc and help to really create and reinforce our brand identity. Maybe song sheets could be left on the seats before the games etc.

Given that the chairman of the Blue Few has admitted he doesn't see the City of Bristol as a two club city, I think it's about time we dropped the objections to pundits and journalists calling us 'Bristol'.

With Rovers conceding their relevance to West country sporting competition, that just leaves us. City. Bristol City.

Or, if you want Bristol.

We should celebrate this now.

You celebrate, I won't, and stop obsessing over that lot, best to have an air of indifference.

Song books stored on the back of the seat in front. Screens displaying the next song.

Mind you when chanting it in todays modern all mod con stadiums don't be surprised if a cup of 'barista' made coffee is waitress delivered to your seat ....

But they don't call Manchester United or Manchester city, just Manchester ? 

Or Sheffield Wednesday or Sheffield United, just Sheffield? 

So why do we have to put up with it !!!!

To appreciate proper Bristolian or Krek Bristle is to understand the following logic.

Arma, is my mother.

Ardad, is my father.

Argos, is my high street retail outlet.

Not bothered at all now, used to be though.

We know we’re City and that’s all that matters.

On local parks pitches it`s very likely to be dogs` eggs.

Agree. I’ve never been keen on people referring to us as “Bristol” it’s shows a lack of knowledge and respect. 

However, it now makes me smirk. Can you imagine how livid they’d get if we all just started referring to ourselves, in wider circles, as “Bristol”. Completely ignoring their existence. 

It is time to embrace being the only worthy representatives of our great City. 

One a side note, I love the “Manchester” thread titles & references. Brilliant.
