Miah Dennehy Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 SAG Fool! That was our lot every time we played there and took over the Tote. Ask yer older mates - "Drink up the Cider" was never sung by your lot. Yes of course it was, now go and have a nice cup of tea and clam down. I stood on the Tote for years, and Rovers fans sang it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiz Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I always thought the dirge was a song about losing at gambling and wishing for suicide. Must admit never really studied it as I loathe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Why the **** would we 'want it back', I was just passing comment that we used to sing it and wondered when or why it became a exclusively a City song Woah there fella, I didn't accuse you of 'wanting it back', it was never yours in the first place. I also pointed out that its a great song that has a connection to this City....unlike Goodnight Irene. I've heard Gasheads say that Drink up the Zyder has been sung in the past by Rovers fans. My point was that its up to you what you sing, it doesn't change the fact that its our anthem and (mainly lower league) football fans around the country know it as our anthem.

Miah Dennehy Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Tell the truth I REALLY think it's shite, the bloke who wrote 'Goodnight Irenne' is a blues legend, The Wurzels are one of the more embarassing comedy groups typical of the 1970s.

BrizzleRed Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Neither do I in them singing those songs! I heard a story that there was a pub full of Stoke fans somewhere and someone put Delilah on the jukebox and everyone started singing along. It then got transfered to singing it at the ground and took off from there. Seems a bit random but if correct, it shows it doesn't need to have a direct link to the club if fans take to a song. Has to be better than nicking a song off another club though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The birth of modern music is attributed to The Blues style, which was derived specifically from plantation songs and English folk music, the same English folk music the Wurzels have played for decades...

Each to their own, I love music and have watched loads of bands over the years, tunes like 'I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester' have never really been my sort of thing, but whatever floats yer boat.

BcFcOneLove Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I don't think that's anyone's kind of thing mate, but two songs we do like 'Drink up the cider' and 'one for the Bristol City' sound good as football songs on the terraces.. Don't think too many people would be blasting out the original Irene from their car stereo's either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampy Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Irene was an old Led Belly song. You are lost already! But put it against 'When the red red robin etc' yea the red breast wins :laugh:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
