Rich VFR Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Fairly new ST holder here. Really enjoying the atmosphere and will certainly be renewing next year. I'm keen to join in with the vocals but there's a couple of chants I can't quite make out from where I'm sat. There's one to the tune of 'Piranhas' by Tom Hark? Thanks in advance!

marmite Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Possibly might get more people joining in if we sang more about City and less about Rovers. We are all at the Gate because we love City not because we dislike Rovers, so lets encourage that feeling with the choice of song/chant. Some of us older ones don't actually hate Rovers, they are insignificant, but we certainly don't want to hear about them while watching City. I join in all the encouraging songs but when its about the Gas I just sigh, and I am not alone among them around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostScotsman Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Moved to Bristol in Sept and immediately started going to City games. Picked up a half season after enjoying a few outings. I've been gradually picking up the songs etc but there is one which eludes me... "eeyiee eeyiee eeyiee oh, up the football here we go. [Insert blank]. [Insert blank]. We are city, we are city, Johnson [insert blank]". Can anyone fill the blanks? Looking forwards to signing it at Cardiff away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City fan 1982 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I like to sing most songs , some from the days doobie doobie do , even the ten men went to twerton , which returned yesterday I sing about rovers as they are our local rivals , how crap they are etc. I don’t get the let’s not sing about them ? What next don’t sing come on you reds cos other teams sing it. The more picky with songs we are that then means we repeat songs more often , I’m sure some people that comment don’t sing themselves !

I’m happy to join in the encouraging ones from my seat in the South Stand but not the negative ones. Yesterday the singing section seemed fixated on the SAGS. Why? They’re not in our division and are an irrelevance. And if we are going to have a go at Holloway (which is fair game) can’t we come up with something better than the tired ‘cheer up peter reid’ chant.

It is not original and is so old hat now it’s become embarrassing. I put this on another thread but think it’s worth putting on here too, in reply to the above 2 posts. In regard to song choice, yesterday was always gonna have an added ‘anti-gas’ theme, what with Hollowhead being there. However I do think it’s a tad harsh to say we didn’t sing motivational songs or those that others could easily join in with. We sang ‘Red Army’ about 4 times yesterday, only once could I see it spreading all round the ground. We sang ‘Red Flag’ a few times, ‘Ole Ole Ole’ countless times, ‘By far the greatest team’, ‘we love you City’, ‘Ee I ee I o’. All songs which everyone should easily be able to join in with. It’s only ‘Come on you reds’ which reverberates around all stands. We also sang players songs such ‘Here’s to you Hörður Magnússon’, ‘we fell in love with marlon pack’, ‘joe Bryan one of our own’, ‘he’s here he’s there Korey smith’, ‘bobby, bobby reid’, ‘na na na na, diedhou’, ‘Flint said no’. Plenty of songs to get ‘behind’ the players. Yes there were plenty of anti-gas/hollowhead songs, but there was plenty more that were pro city / players. I could count over 15 songs we sang that have nothing to do with Rovers. As for the ‘same old’ cheer up Holloway comment, I think we had a few more than just that one for him yesterday. ‘He’s only a poor little gashead’, ‘sacked in the morning’, ‘ole ole, ole ole, Holloway’s a ****’, ‘there’s a bald gas winker over there’. Plenty more than just ‘cheer up’. In total, I think we sang at least 27 different songs yesterday. Over 15 of them had zero to do with rovers. I don’t think there are many (if any) clubs out there that sing as much a variety as we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
