Freemantle 27 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Last season and especially the season before i absolutly loved singing, "Johnson says, Bounce around the ground"... but recently whenever we score we start singing, "East end, East end, Bounce around". When the song then goes around to the dolman, then atyeo and williams a few people start booing them if they don't stand up and bounce. The reason they don't isn't because their boring (well for a few it might be), but most of the time they are either singing their own songs or sometimes if we don't sing loud enough especially for the Atyeo they just can't hear us from that far away. It beyond me to explain why we sing a song where aprrox. a quarter of the fans sing at one time when we have a fantastic song ready to unleashed. Lastly i remember when people first found out Doncaster were singing, "O'driscoll says Bounce Around the Ground" it really hacked people off including me... so why are we not singing our song anymore. And before anyone says we sang it when we played Preston thats only because started it :tounge: Anyway i would like to know what you guys think...

I BELIEVE Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I think your right we only really seem to get it going once we score. However if you were at Cardiff (F.A cup, away) it seemed to be sang more and a lot were bouncing. I think we need to bring it back on a regular basis because it not only looks fantastic, but it gets the other stands going as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 so why are we not singing our song anymore. The general level of enthusiasm has subsided a bit at AG in recent matches as frustration has increased. I think we'll see the song make a steady return as we improve our performances.

Freemantle 27 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I didn't go to the F.A cup replay because i had an exam the next day but i should of gone becuase i pretty much failed it anyway. At a few away games it has been really good especially away at Newcastle where it was off the scale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellRedPhil Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I prefer this song as well and would like to see it's comeback! Both Palace and Reading away when literally the entire away end was bouncing was just fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Risk Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 i think its an awful song and am glad to see its in decline. Its probably a lot of fun if your 10 years or under, but looks really awful when grown men start singing and doing a silly jig to it. Always believe on the other hand was a good anthem and seemed to carry us through to the play off final, would like us to put a good run together to hear more of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that its encouraging for the players to look up and see literally thousands of their supporters jumping up and down in encouragement to them?

Guest BCFC_CR33DY Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Probably not sung as much anymore because of the much justified loss in confidence in Gary Johnson from the fans. He's quite frankly lost the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Believesham Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 if we don't sing loud enough especially for the Atyeo they just can't hear us from that far away. I can hear every word the east end sings, ok i know alot of the songs from away games but from experience singing takes alot of effort my side of the atyeo a harmony of "come on you reds" when we get a corner probably doesnt get heard by even the fans down the front let alone the players, sadly it's just the way fans are in some areas, they go to watch football and be entertained, there's nothing wrong with that don't be disheartened by the lack of bounce we will bounce again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 'Bounce around the ground' seems to be sung at away games now! Glad to see it was sung at AG during the PNE game. There's a youtube clip of the song at St James and even the Toon fans were impressed judging by their comments. I for one would be glad to see it back!

grifty Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 That isn't to do with the song! Sweden your posts have been a little strange of late.. I'm thinking the Haiti disaster has hit him hard? I think the song is better as an away song. Chances are, the away fans are more likely to sing so it looks better when 90% of the city fans are doing it rather than 29% at home games...

bristolcitysweden Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Good to hear. We miss your swedish players scouting reports, I hear that center back you recommended a couple of weeks back is being linked with Celtic now? Some people rate them, some people don't. Swedish players are crap until they are spotted by teams like Celtic. But then it was a stupid suggestion in the first place. How on earth could we afford them? I can't believe your high thoughts of people in football. At +40 they make a degree on a much lower level than most people pass in their early 20.. This player recommended on here in early May was a couple of weeks ago singed by Heerenveen on a 4½ year contract worth £1.5 million (Philip Haglund). Benny should be our Scandinavian scout. http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/115676-philip-haglund-miiko-albornoz/page__p__1088260__hl__Philip%20Haglund__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love seeing 1000,2000 etc grown men bouncing around like a load of kids. It brings a bit of fun to the proceedings IMO. Always believe however is a boring droan of a song and i couldnt think of a statement further from the truth for thousands of City fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
