Only a few would have heard this in the early 90s away at Cambridge, but the 'Rennie for Scotland' chant was well received by the main man himself ... it sounded much better in that pub across the cabbage patch and fields, so quite rightly was left as a one off at the Abbey stadium!!!

What an absolutely dire match, bleak and foggy if I remember right?  Think we spent mist of the match crowded round a tiny battery tv someone had brought watching some rugby match. 

And another song 'we've got the smallest 'keeper in the land' to Ronnie Sinclair.

Always felt dire at Cambridge anyway as never saw us win (won't even comment on the 5-1 cup loss) ... seem to remember this day the most exciting thing was a race from the pub to the ground in 2 shopping trollies that had been dumped in the field - strange what you remember!

I've heard this a couple of times and it's a personal favourite.

 

In the town, where I was born,

We drink apples from dusk til dawn.

It's the town, where I will die,

I hope there's apples up in the sky.

We all live in a Cider Submarine,

A Cider Submarine,

A Cider Submarine.

We all live in a Cider Submarine,

A Cider Submarine,

A Cider Submarine.

Apples Green, and Apples Red,

I keeps a flagon by me bed.

It helps me sleep, it helps me dream,

Of Apples Red, and Taunton Deane.

We all live in a Cider Submarine,

A Cider Submarine,

A Cider Submarine.

(Switch)

We all live in a Cider Caravan,

A Cider Caravan,

A Cider Caravan.

A song from the 60s when City were pushing for promotion from division 3. (To the song of Daisy Daisy Give Me Your Answer Do)

City City bound for Division Two

We go crazy over the thought of you 

We can't afford Di Stefano

But we've got Johnny Atyeo

So ring your bells

And rattle like hell

On the terraces made for you.

Does anyone remember the "Running round the Rovers / singing I've got a bigger one than you" song? I've literally heard it at only one match in the nineties and was in stitches but never heard it again. Can't work out now if it was improvised by a few jokers or has been sung more widely. Can't even remember all the words.

We'll be running round the rovers with our willies hanging out

We'll be running round the rovers with our willies hanging out

we'll be running round the rovers, running round the rovers

running round the rovers with our willies hanging out

singing I've got a bigger one than you

singing I've got a bigger one than you

singing I've got a bigger - I've got a bigger

I've got a bigger one than you

sideways !

And

You're gonna get your ****ing heads kicked in

The "bag of sweets and a cheeky smile" song

We all agree Roger Malone is a w***er/gas head (and other references to Roger's habits)

Home, home and away,

the Park end of Ashton they say,

we'll sing you a song,

and they'll give us a goal,

and we'll all be on match of the day !

*****

We'll make Maggie Thatcher push a wheel barrow all day (repeat x3)

When the cider revolution comes along.

We'll make Harold Wilson drop his trousers every day  etc.

*****

Galley,Galley,Galley,Galley, he is the King of the west country.

After our brilliant 2nd round win at Eastville....Martyn Hirst scoring the winner from a TC cross in the dying moments of the game. ..

(To the tune of This Ol' man)

One Nil down

Two One up.

We knocked Rovers out of the cup.

Da da dada da dada da da. 

Apologies for the pedantry mate but as this is my fave game ever I have to point out that Glyn Riley crossed for Hirst to score!

Still a great memory, still keeps me warm! 

Cheers for the reminder...

Things were quaint in the 60s. Supporters actually watched match in those days and didn't pay any attention to what those in other stands were doing. None of the current rubbish about leaving early, not singing, sitting down etc.
