The Humble Realist Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Not sure I can digest the stuff on the pitch yet but for the 2nd year running why on earth are we playing song wba sing just before the teams come out It's the equivilant of wba putting 'I am a cider drinker' on at the hawthorns. I know its only a small thing but it is amateur. If you are in charge of the music at Ashton gate I dont mean any harm, please just do a bit of research first. The last thing we need is getting the away fans livened up anymore than they already are Here is the song in question 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Aren't most loads of songs adapted into football songs..? Should none of those ever be used.? The Liquidaror is more traditionally as song of West Broms' fiercest rivals, isn't it..? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 I don't pay too much attention to whats being played other than the players intro but isn't it a usual tune played at AG (and most football grounds) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for wba it really is one of the songs they sing pre match...they were singing along to the whole thing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard Wolves sing it many times, usually with “**** off West Brom”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norn Iron Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 First game of the season, early 90s, and we were away to Wolves. The teams walked on to The Liquidator. The City players then told whoever how much they enjoyed the tune. Some players suggested it should be the entrance music at the Gate. I think this should be the new music... it will inspire! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 They didn't play it today in fact the pre match music in the build-up was altogether better I thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 It's not a West Brom song and we play it regularly, not sure what the problem is. I liked the old build up music. Although if we want something new I really think this would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) I thought we played this one every game for a few seasons in the past? Also a bit of all rounder with most clubs? Generally a great football tune for all fans Edited January 29, 2023 by Rossi the Robin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they learned their lesson from last time ! It wasnt that I was saying it is a bad song generally, but for wba in particular it is because they love it and have done for many years! Away end was bouncing last time. Of course one other effective strategy to quieten the away end is to get Sam Bell to score an early screamer right in front of it ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 What does annoy me is the timing. Back when Tim Shires did the music, One for the Bristol City started playing when the players emerged from the tunnel, whereas now they’re already out or lined up when it starts now. It loses impact.

Midred Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 What's with the hunting horn at the start, I can remember it being played regularly at Leicester but have the efl insisted it be played everywhere now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcshorey Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 I quite like the Chemical Brothers montage intro. Should go from that, to the Trumpet fanfare and then into One for the Bristol City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back the Red Red Robin I say, it's not just for the older generation, my 4 month old Grandson loves "bob, bob, bobbing along" when I sing it to him.

If we have a Saturday evening kick off, at the end of the game, especially if it's been a feisty encounter, they could play "Saturday night's alright for fighting"!
