cider head Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Many flags/banners bare that word and before they start on that,, it means!!! The literal meaning of "forza" is "strength" to and "force" to. May the forza = force be with you.. forza = strength to our team. But when it's an exclamation, it means "go". It's mainly used to cheer or encourage. Forza! = Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 You can bet BS would rather the Forza flags weren't in the ground. Yeah, because people watching might see the letter 'z' and that could remind them of the word 'Nazi' Wouldn't want the watching masses to think we're all one of them, would we And there's a 'r', which is also in the word 'September', which is when the 'Ultra' flags started the pitch invasions against R*vers I'm with BS on this one, way too many connections with bad things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the management believe any organisation of the fans is likely to lead to testosterone-filled anarchy. They feel any layer of identity beyond the club itself is fundamentally outside of their control and so is unwelcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider head Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why a foreign word? " Red Force" ? People use foreign words all the time to make it sound different, only fools and horses come to mind. There is a football team called red force http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Force_FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 "Forza" is an anagram of "Zofar", which is an Omani football club. Clearly, this is a covert reference to ISIL, and should be banned forthwith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't undestand the need to copy a word used by clubs all over the continent, it's slightly ironic as so many new chants (instead of the ones about our non league neighbours) are turned down for 'not being original' yet it's fine to be a sheep when it comes to labelling the fans in the 'singing section' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider head Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 To be fair the word was dropped by some lads in the Eastend for a more local, wurzel, cider feel hense the When the moon shines and ernie robin (ernie used by adge cutler as a lyric) and singing more local traditional songs.. some may not like that but it's choice. But that does not mean the choice should be taken away for those who like the term Forza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
