Lord Northski Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 We’ve always struggled to find the right song or tune to run out to, but reckon we could do a lot worse than Jump Around, especially given our liking for same. Hope the link works and turn it up loud. May have already been suggested with good reason, and thanks to the Exiled Robin for posting this on Twitter.

Problem with that is that’s college football so most of the people in the crowd are students! If some of the pensioners in the dolman started doing that there would be popped hips everywhere!

exAtyeoMax Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 I’m just happy the club have stopped playing the White Stripes… They should just get the music right before, bring back Tim Shires! Was listening to the build up to the Rovers game in 2013, some brilliant tunes… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiled Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis after we scored ended with clouds of dust appearing from the sides of the Dolman Stand (pre-ground redevelopment). I love the song but I think "Jump Around" would bring the house down. Literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Here we go again! We're Bristol City so what's wrong with either the Red Red Robin (we are after all the Robins), West Country anthem Drink up thee zider, or better still our own One For the Bristol City. What's wrong with people who can't get excited enough about our own song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Seeing as we have Pearson, James, King, Simpson at City we may as well go full Leicester and have Kasabian - Club Foot. Seriously though, should be the Wurzels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 It should be a local band. End of. Plenty to choose from, The Wurzels, Massive Attack, Idles, The Pop Group, Beak, Smith and Mighty etc. Bugs me that we don’t cherish our own more in this region (not just City) but then I guess that’s part of our charm as well.

Made a point of singing it I would say that the pre match/pre walk out music should build atmosphere instead of Downsy talking endlessly. It needs curating properly by someone who understands music and crowds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 It's all a bit Butlins 1960s. Forced fun. You will embrace it, you will wear your colours. YOU ARE the entertainment... Would much rather a few bangers from local bands we have a bit of pride in and the rest of the atmosphere being a collaborative on-pitch/fan-led activity. Plus, that sort of carry on would never would when you factor in the Ashton Gate PA system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look cool though, there was an even better video of one of these games with Enter the Sandman on twitter yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has always been an element of that though, and (I don't know your age but guessing) people of our generation may sneer at it, younger generations expect it and seem to enjoy it. I am not sure where you would pitch bands/acts either, again different generations will go for the guitar bands, others for electronic music, rappers or even DJs. Each of those in turn is going to a negative reaction from a crowd that ranges from 9 to 90, so you can see why the club might shy away from a "talent showcase". You have only got to look at the stage behind the South Stand to see how hard it is for those acts to generate an audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the club could produce a play-list or allow people to vote on the songs they'd like to hear pre-match? If that was a new list every game against which people could vote it would keep things fresh. Doesn't all have to be things Diddy David or Tommy Vance might play when counting down the hit-parade, but it might help. Not 'alf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made suggestions along these lines before, I can only presume that the club hasn't had enough negative feedback to consider changing things. I agree that 7 nation army sounds hackneyed and cliched, but are the club hearing that from the fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admire Everton ,they still run out to the Z cars theme not sure many under 60s have even seen the show but still popular with supporters. There is a lot to be said for not following the latest trend and giving the club its own unique identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
