Stoke on Saturday for instance started signing their version of Southampton’s ‘when the saints go marching in’ (also copied by Tottenham) & our fans have started joining in with Stokes version! And I’m sure at Derby, City fans started joining in with one of their songs!! I just don’t understand how or why any two teams would join in with a song / chant started by their opponents?!? Yep - completely agree with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one of our fans come up the steps and immediately applaud the Stoke players who were wearing red training tops and white shorts. He honestly believed it was our players !

It can be fun, at Middlesbrough last season the chant of “Your football is s41t, your football is s41t, Tony Pulis your football is s41t” was responded to perfectly by the ‘boro’ fans - “Our football is s41t ......” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up and although he spent most of his years there he was born in Portishead. This really surprised me as you would think he was from the heart of Somerset. For a non-Bristolian the bloke had amazing ears for the Bristolian dialect. Like Geoffrey Woodruff he could make the authentic phonetics for Bristolian, unlike that prat Dirk Robson whose piffle misled many - "Krek Waiters peak Bristle" - what a ****ing joke and travesty. Shed a tear for Adge everytime I go near Chepstow where he tragically died in a car crash. Adge was indeed born in Posset but spent years working and Living in Nailsea. He was employed by Coates cider and made his singing/songwriter debut at the folk club above a local pub the Royal Oak. Oddly enough he was never a cider drinker - preferring red Rioja which he became familiar with from his time living in Spain. He was fluent in Spanish as well. His grave in in Christchurch cemetery very close to where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to a US "soccer" game and they were all super polite with their chants, it's kinda funny. They aren't allowed to give abusive chants in Basketball, American Football, Baseball arenas so they're a bit scared to say any bad words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in passing, popped into cemetery to find Adge's grave a couple of times (sadly barely legible at time, badly weathered, took couple of pics, expected something a little more substantial tbh.. Deserved better I thought. Then had a quick pint in the Royal Oak as thats where The Wurzels recorded their live album. Not a bad little town, some nice shops, cafes etc.. Rather have an Aldi than a Waitrose to be honest.. (couldn't afford to live there, I'm more skittles than bowls! :laugh:) Nice place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines on an SD card somewhere... Copied/pasted pic from online 'images' for this thread. One visit we made was the day after an anniversary of his death.. Took a few flowers ourselves but was surprised and disappointed there was no others there. Bit sad really, like the grave itself, virtually nondescript Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
