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. Could you email me the excel spreadsheet of the song analysis from yesterday?

It’s a pisstake song of the awful original from US, but has actually and amusingly found its way into our regular repertoire. I like it. It’s funny, easy to join in and is a song that is totally being able to laugh at ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ! They were both sung yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I'm 27, don't think this is necessarily something just for the older fans! For me I have to think back to being in primary school for us playing Rovers regularly. I really don't care about Rovers much. Got far more hate for Cardiff and Swindon over the years, but I'd always rather just sing about us, the opposition care even less bout rovers! Keep it city or aimed at the opposition I say!

I’m one of the older gits but I’ll never forget when Rovers were above us during our lowest and darkest days....and they tried to pinch Ashton Gate for naff all.....that left a very bad taste and is one of many, many reasons why I dislike that mob who play in the ridiculous kit....

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! “Welcome” by the way! And cheers for bringing up the cool Piranhas tune - I mean the real one, not the chant...!

Norn Iron Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 You mean the original by Elias and His Zig-Zag Jive Flutes? If you're as old as me you'd know that Brighton's finest, The Piranhas featuring Boring Bob Grover, merely did their version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singingsuperstar Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi everyone, me and my lad new season card holders this season (S24) though lve been at the Gate many years back to the Ashton 8 years! Seen alot through the years but have to say it's the best lve ever seen the club stand. Confidence and commitment on and off the pitch is just bloody incredible and clearly built on superb foundations from Mr Ls investment. Being a keen singer l love to join in, some songs make l laugh, some make me proud and some are just nostalgic - back to the old East End days!!! What happened to "the referee is full of sh#T"? Classic imo and would have been extremely fitting yesterday!!! Ref yesterday was worse than the Burton referee and deserving of the grief, in fact we have better kids reffing the woodspring junior league! Just wondering how songs are suggested? As a singer lve a few ideas!!! Mainly about the lads (Reid, Diony, Fam and Pack) any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich VFR Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Is there a reason why there's no 'oh when the red's' at Ashton Gate? Would sound great in a 'come on you reds', reverb kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think songs about cider are more to do with it being strongly associated with the West Country and Zummerzet rather than what anyone drinks.

However, you’ll be surprised at how many in the area will have graduated to real ale - ages range in there 2 to 82 I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
