Tins Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I was listening to radio 2 and they played Give It Up by KC and the sunshine band. That song already reminds me of Ashton Gate due to it being played before a match. What songs remind you of City, yet aren't City related (One for the Bristol City etc)?

PolskRed Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Top Of The World by the Carpenters. Remember standing in the Enclosure in the early 80's often on rainy Tuesday nights and hearing this long. Always liked it since then and every time I hear it it reminds of those days at Ashton Gate, which I loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Just for tonight reminds me of the play off final. Always skip it, heartbreaking. Equally, I smile when I hear al Jolson sing the red red robin. That should be played more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Golden Brown by The Stranglers City had a must win game at York many moons ago, i couldn't go and was glued to Radio Bristol. They didn't do full match commentary back then, just went over for sporadic reports. We just had ro win and i was pacing around my kitchen as they played Golden Brown and interrupted the song halfway through to day Ralph Milne was through one on one but he missed! Then they went back to the bl@@dy song! Won't ever forget that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Congratulations by Cliff Richard. It used to be played as we left the ground after every home win in the early '70's, and for many years afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Not forgetting, 'Oops upside your head' by The Gap Band. Memorably changed to 'We are Ciderheads' by the mob in the back corner of the EE against York, night match, to go top of the 4th. Especially the bloke with the huge Mohican who always wore a Dead Kennedys t-shirt who was unmissable at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Oh dear really?! We're talking early '70's Lew, it was a happy City crowd who left the ground singing along to that one. And a miserable one filing out when it couldn't be played because we'd failed to win. It was unique to AG, and don't forget Cliff Richard wasn't unpopular in those days.

Fodbarmyarmy Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hey Kids.........How about the tinkling Ivories of Mr Conrad with his Red Red Robin..... A song that is not exactly played at AG but always reminds me of City is Feeder's "Buck Rogers" coz we always played it in the car coming back from some wonderful away days in "the play off season" ....really did think we were gonna make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was quite a while before my time . I remember when City played ' the boys are back in town ' That was when I first started going as a young kid and I remember it very well.

I was in my regular place, the open bit as you came in. For some reason a load of 'lads' had started congregating in the back corner of the EE near us, and it was a great atmosphere that night. From memory the crowd must have been close on 11,000 to see us go top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
