Franklin CITY Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Firstly glad that genuine supporters have a last chance of picking up tickets on Wednesday. Also well done to all involved for setting up the singing areas etc. My final plea surounds the music from the PA system. It would really pi$$ me off if all we get is some corporate crapp like 'we are the champions or Jeff bleeding Beck.(rather have senses working overtime by XTC but too many Swindon connections!) No doubt Mr Sexton will put in a request for You give love a bad name, just to shift those last few hundred Bon Jovi tickets down at the Gate (only joking Col, I think that you have done a good job and have come in for some unwarranted stick) But please please please can we have the Wurzels (original version) of Drink up ye Cider. Its the only real song associated with the club. Brings back memories of singing it in the sky blue stand at Coventry when we got back to 2-2 and obviously at Anfield when hearing it sung brought tears to my eyes. Even One for the Bristol City doesn't really do it for me. So please can we have a push for the one song which has become our anthem. What songs would others like to hear..... Where can you get a pint of Black Rat in the Capital? Ureds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Too right, how I hate bloody Hi ho silver lining and that new version of Drink up thee cider isn't a patch on Adge Cutler's.........

Steve Watts Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hear Hear! Think it'll be One For The Bristol City, but agree, I would prefer Drink Up Thy Zider. Either way, I should hope there'll be plenty of Drink Up Thy Zider's during the game anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Do you mean when we score cause surely we cant play city songs when its a neutralo venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin CITY Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 They usually play one 'home' song for each side before the game and then a special one for the winners. Lets home its Adge (or even that poem by Chillcot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I like our 'anthem' one for the bris... leave it alone. Mind you, as a rouser to get you in the mood and send shivers down the spine of the oppo i thought the rendition of 'A long Good Friday' at Palace was superb. I thought it suited those sarf london boys right down to the ground. great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Garfunkle Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 it has to be drink up thy zider, main reason is that it is very hard to sing 'one for the bristol city' all the way through as not a lot of people know the words. could somebody speak with the club? dave l? tom f?

bh_red Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 why? and they played it at millennium stadium didnt they? because Wembley are unlikely to agree to play a song that contains the words "we're going down the rovers to do the ######s over........" that was the excuse as to why it wasn't played at the Mill Stad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmers Green Red Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Don't quite get this, as the offiical lyrics are obviously not those about "going down the Rovers e.t.c.", but milkmaids. One for the Bristol City has 'Bl###y' in the song, so doesn't make sense! Agree anything other than Hi Ho Silver Lining though - against Bolton and Mansfield we outsung them but Stoke did a number on us with the old Tom Jones impression!
