Guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 It would help a bit if they played the same song as the fans were singing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Band should be banned. They detract from the atmosphere not add to it. I absolutely detest the americanisation of our sport.Thanks for the effort boys, put it into singing instead of making that racket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cider Army Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Has certain8ly deteriorated over the years. If they could get a few more people to get behind them might be worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to play some more decent stuff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Any of the band post on here?I sometimes sit by the band and when they get a fair few people to sing along then its definitely worthwhile. But this hasn't happened for a long time and yes, probably doesn't really help the atmosphere.If they get their act together then it will add to the atmosphere.

TA8 RED Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 There is NO BAND at Ashton gate,it was officialy dropped by the club,all you have are a bunch of Bristol City Fan's and Supporters who occasionaly take a trumpet or drum along, so please don't keep on about who like's this or who likes that, the people concerned I imagine don't give a flying ###### what some supporters think of them they are there to enjoy themselves and SUPPORT THE CITY. :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1cityfan_tucks Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 The band used to be great, lots of members and alot of noise, however, of late they have lost it, less member, less noise and now i only like the big drum that starts some songs.Does anyone know what happened to the single piper bloke who use to sit in the Dolman?

I think if they dropped their instruments and sang louder it would definately benefit the atmostphere, but they don't, they just bang away and play their drumpet drowning the atmostphere. But the numbers seem to have fallen over last couple of seasons so their aint as many of them congregated now. Just sing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 It amazes me that so many are so fickle about a group of like minded people wanting to get behind the club.And no, i don't bang a drum etc etc Agreed.... and as for being dropped...i've got to be honest, i've never seen this (but prepared to stand corrected) so if they aren't officially recognised, then why are they being allowed to bring items into the groung that could potentially be used as a weapon??? (i mean, christ you aren't even allowed a lid on a plastic bottle!!!). If so many people are so pi$$ed off with the band, then why not tell them to their faces instead of hiding behind PC's when moaning?!?I have to be honest, i prefer the band when they're down the East End, but at the end of the day, as Browner_11 says, they only wanna get behind the team!

BS10 RED Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 One of my first season tickets was right up by the band and i loved it,i thought it was the place to sit at ashton gate.But then it just went down hill or maybe it just doesnt bring the same excetment it used to bring to me now that ive got older.Ill much rather sit in the Dolman now and sing or even the Williams and sing.

WTFiGO!?! Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Like the vast majorety of Clubs and staying in-tune ( ) with the history of association Football up until the Americanised commercialisation of the game I don't think musical instruments belong at a Football ground.'Hiding behind the PC' - I'd be willing to sit down and chat civilly face to face with anybody to explain my views.'Just getting behind the team' - Fair enough but there is such a thing as good intentions mis-guided.There is a lack of vocal interaction of City fans at home games, it is one of my main gripes but banging a drum and blowing a trumpet is no reparation for me. A return of a small patch of terracing would help no end I'm sure not that I really intend to kick that one of. I see Tottenham fans away in action about once a season and it is like watching artistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC1983/84 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 The atmosphere in the Atyeo was better before the band, but I don't think the band have ruined it. A game I always remember was when we played Colchester in the first round of the Coca Cola cup in 1995. There was less than 4,000 at the game, but the atmosphere was brilliant the the atyeo, non-stop singing. Personally I believe that in the last 15 years, many of city's vocal supporters have been priced out of the game. The average ticket price was about a tenner in our league back then. Now I think its £22 to go in the Atyeo. I wish my wages had double over the last 10 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 'Hiding behind the PC' - I'd be willing to sit down and chat civilly face to face with anybody to explain my views.And that's fair enough... my point though was merely that there are so many people moaning about it on here, but no-one ever says anything direct to the people involved.To be honest, this post has been done to death so many times it's getting a bit boring now... (I know, I know, if I don't like it, I don't have to read it, but come on....!) The band are staying, no matter who likes it or dislikes it... all we can do is our best to get behind the team in our own ways... Roll on August!!!
