Bristol Boy Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Good to see the club have lept to allay our fears about not acheiving automatic promotion. We've got the Wurzels against QPR!! We're saved!! The last time, they had no instruments, mimed, were on the pitch for about ten minutes and were so far away it could have been four old tramps from Ashton Park!! I go to f.f.f.f. farnham!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to f.f.f.f. farnham!! Would have been more entertaining. Just think of the spin offs. Forget the Three Tenors, we've got the Four Old Tramps.

Dave L Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 That is indeed great news. I have to be at a meeting in London at 11.30 on the day of the QPR game. I'll be struggling to get back in time for the kick off and have been getting very stressed about maybe having to miss the game altogether. But now I know I'll miss the Wurzels I feel an awful lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ern Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Actually this ain't a pitchside thing it's a real gig in the Red & white bar. Where we can queue for ages to get a pint of flat weak beer or cider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I hate the Wurzels image, I hate the image they give Bristol and I can't understand why they're so popular. Did have some great nights in Mckluskys watching them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthebling Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I am shocked - and deeply distressed... How can you say that the Wurzels are a bad image and you dont wanna see them?! I love being called a farmer, I'm proud to come from the Westcountry and love to have the "farmer image"! and I'm pretty sure that any other city in the country know that we are not in the fields all day with Betsy the cow.. The Wurzels are quality - I'm 22 and love all of it!! Especially living in London now! Come on, that concert should be a right laugh, a chance to laugh at ourselves - Where has our sense of humour gone?! I thought u needed one to support BCFC..! Its worth £3.50 to see them sing Drink up ye cider before the big game... I'm still shocked, but hey, thats the view of a young un! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I hate the Wurzels image, I hate the image they give Bristol and I can't understand why they're so popular. Did have some great nights in Mckluskys watching them though I agree with you but have been slagged in the past on here for daring to say anything against the Wurzels. Basically I think they're brilliant fun, have seen them live and own one of their albums. All good for a laugh. BUT I've never understood what they've even got to do with Bristol - a huge, modern, cosmopolitan City, devoid of farmyards, cows and tractors. AND a cultural melting pot of original and brilliant musical innovation. But hey, each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 They sing of times gone by! We were all fields once! This is 70s music! My mum, still reminds me of the times Filton was all fields, before the Mall and everything - so to her, the Wurzels do represent something! and they sing the Bristol song etc, all to do with Bristol - AND sing songs about BCFC - loads to me which have to do with this fine city! This is going to be quality! Get in the spirit, have some fun! We werent all born in a suit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 <and they sing the Bristol song etc, all to do with Bristol - AND sing songs about BCFC - loads to me which have to do with this fine city!> In their "One for the Bristol City", the classic lines "Spend an hour or two, In a bloody gert queue" is a reminder of so many of the big games from the mid 70s. If we want Bristolian music with a City connection, is Fred Wedlock still around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granty Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 'to me' 'to you' 'to me' to you' - if only our passing were like this in midfield then we'd be sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just you lot wait till the Cider Gliders come on ere my lovers, then u will be in for it! "get in the ground and sing ooh aar ooh aarr!" Hmm, come to think of it, can we not make Louise Redknapp from Eternal the figure head of BCFC? Shes fit, and with the way things are going "lets go round again" could be our song!

Well I'd prefer anybody other than the Wurzels Apart from her being more attractive to the eye, perhaps she could then persuade her husband to sign for us (That is of course providing he is completely over his injuries - don't want another Matthews ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Ed Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Shame we can't get Massive Attack instead. They did sponsor a game a number of years ago. Have the Wurzels ever done anything like that?
