Basics

[The Humble Realist]

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 

 

 

[Bar BS3]

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..?

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) ?

Dont think so especially. But for wba it really is one of the songs they sing pre match...they were singing along to the whole thing !

Heard Wolves sing it many times, usually with “**** off West Brom”.

[Norn Iron]

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!

Exactly...we are on a bad enough state on the pitch that we dont need to give the away fans a gee up

[Mr Popodopolous]

They didn't play it today in fact the pre match music in the build-up was altogether better I thought.

[Port Said Red]

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.

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

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 ...

That’ll be ******* hilarious

welcome to the circus  

[exAtyeoMax]

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]

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?

X factor ruined battle without honour track… it’s been done to death

[SouthStand Sandwich]

Why has massive attack's unfinished sympathy fallen off as the pre warm up music… 

[bcfcshorey]

I quite like the Chemical Brothers montage intro. Should go from that, to the Trumpet fanfare and then into One for the Bristol City.

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"!
