BessexRED Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 What Johnson said when under pressure about bringing Taylor on was comical the other month but there’s a slight hint of truth in it somewhere. Without wanting to open a can of worms, our chant selections the last few years have been leaning towards the ultra, Crystal Palace type shit with the “ole ole ole ola” stuff rather than decent chants for our players. The inevitable “try and start some chants yourself” or “you can’t moan about the atmosphere if you don’t contribute” replies will come but I do on both accounts, maybe it’s up to all of us to be a bit more original, perhaps it’s up to the fella with the megaphone in S82 to be fed some better chants rather than the shite we’re going with at the moment. Pack for example has been here for years and doesn’t have a chant, same for Brownhill, that song that was going the other day for him was piss poor, he deserves better. Let’s hope we have a few going for the Bolton game which looks like it could be quite a big one with the run we’re on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s honestly horrendous, I’ve heard it “sung” about a handful of times and barely anyone joins in because it’s so cringeworthy. Have to agree, worst song I've heard at the Gate for years. As for the Josh Brownhill song that was being sang Saturday, really like that but can't help but think it would be better if just "Brownhill" was used as opposed to first name as well, to match the original song? Maybe just me! Edit - Although I did hear a few others say the same (regarding Brownhill). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I proApose Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" for Marlon, substituting "Marlon Pack!" for the words "Move on up!" One for the U12s and the ladies at AG perhaps, rather than the young men in S82 (although they're welcome to try....) "So Marlon Pack! And keep on passing....."

UREDS_91 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 The new Bristol City one is ******* awful too (I dont mind the Ole Ole one but Jesus really? It's worse that the Pack "Our House" one. (Which is a feat in itself!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not apparently, I know someone who’s tried to tell him these chants are dreadful but they still get sung. It’s really as if the people properly involved with S82 are trying to create a Palace ultra feel to it, it’s sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City fan 1982 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Fair play to anyone singing and creating an atmosphere, I will join in with most songs , it’s always difficult to please everyone’s taste , if you don’t like it don’t sing it , no ones forcing you to sing ! Players songs difficult, I like josh brownhill song , reminds me of when I was a kid singing eh,eh, Bristol city ( bananarama ? ) hard to label section82 , a group in the singing section , who don’t like being called that , whos activities seem more sporadic than organised , now and again have a display , used to have lots of flags , and twopoles, but these days just a handful of flags up by the drummer. Ideally should be trying to create an atmosphere at every game , although difficult with recent home performances! I like the idea of section82 and stand in that part of the ground with my boy who loves it , however would be nice and a better visual scene if more flags ? Better interactions on socials with fans to talk , fundraise etc Palace and boro good at this , they have raffles in the pub , with money going to displays, can’t do this in the Spanish bar ! Just my observations , not trying to knock them, I know the club make it awkward , I try and do my bit by buying scarves, t shirts And stickers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit, er, "theatrical," for some in the corner, admittedly. "Oh Niki, Bristol City, you don't understand, You take us by the heart when you save us wid yer 'ands, Oh Niki, you're so City, you don't understand, It's guys like you Niki, Oh what you do Niki, do Niki, Don't drop the ball Niki......"

Eddie Notgetinya Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 We certainly don’t have much variety. There are plenty of great chants that other clubs use that we could bastardise and steal but we always seem to keep recycling the same old stuff and just insert a different players name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t expect uniqueness in all of our songs - anything other than the ‘same old stuff’ and people don’t know it so don’t join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone did take the time to put together a "hymn book" (please don't actually do it) there would be many, many songs to put in it. Many unique, some not. Thank God we havnt fallen in to the Allez, Allez ... when the "..." go marching in bollocks you hear all over the country. As someone who city wasn't my first footballing love, I absolutely promise you, city fans are some of the most creative fans going. I actually think the city fans deserve credit, not criticism.
