candygram for mongo Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 I usually get to my seat about 30 seconds before kick off but today I was in there a lot earlier. I was really pleased to hear “Back Home In Bristol” blaring out approx 10 minutes before kick off, was this the first time this song has been played or have I missed it due to my tardiness? Also, could the words be put up on the screen so this song could be a new and welcome anthem, (the “I can’t read & write song is a total embarrassment) 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 I requested this be played just before kick off, maybe someone listened. I would love to hear it as the players come out the tunnel. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZumerZetSmithy Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I was in South stand I guess what . Yes could not here . Loved the songs on here yesterday. I might of missed it there .

Reddrive Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Never heard the song before. Just got it up on YouTube. As a Bristolian born and bred, I love it. A nice little nod to the Wurzels half way through as well. Any suggestions on which of The Dreadnoughts to start with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatn Over Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 So good to hear this at last yesterday; been saying for a while that it would be great to adopt this, OK the band is not UK but some of the words are just “us” (cider, Bristol, West Country men all in a few lines) Too good to miss IMO. Need to get the fans singing it though. Sounded a bit muffled in the Dolman but could have been just the old Tandy speakers, was it clear from elsewhere? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevedon Red Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) What is this music you talk of, don’t forget the dolmanites have no PA so can’t hear a chuffing thing. Thankfully this does mean we don’t have to suffer Downsy. Edited October 30, 2022 by Clevedon Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelton Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I've gone all misty eyed,this must be played more often at Ashton Gate 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) This HAS to be adopted as our song? Palace have "Sad all over" Liverpool obviously "Walk Alone" and the Gas, some song about a misguided tart. Not to mention many of other's. As much as i love Drink Up thee Zider, we need something that stirs the blood, and this song definitely achieves that. ........ Come on Section 82, sort it out..........Please! PS Maybe they could club together and hire a fiddle player to join them, and get them started? Ha!

East End Old Boy Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Something familiar about some of the lyrics! “Well I wish I were back home in Bristol again Arraising a cider with West Countrymen Rolling in the arms of the the fair Katy Wren Back Home in Bristol again Back Home in Bristol again We'll knock the milk churns over And we'll roll them in the clover The corn's half cut and so be we (The corn's half cut and so be we) Alright” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having listened and watched the video, there's not much doubt it's our own fair city. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I've been asking for this for ages, it's a belting tune but beware as it's a song about a soldier that deserts his post. I've no doubt the sags will be on to this at some point. A proper chest thumper though and I, among others ( @tiz ) absolutely love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
