BRING THE NOISE
Quite simply Wurzels the quest within the Eastend this season is to provide the team with the noisiest and most vibrant support in the championship in one stand at least. Nobody would aspire to being crap in bed would they? So the Cow Shed should want to be the equivalent of the Somerset Gigolo next season. Lets show all what Wurzeldom is about.
This coming season will still see the Eastend still having the feel of "an away match at home" but the original 242 will now have strength in numbers. Its time to regain the momentum the Eastend had last season which turned the stand into a undoubted success despite all the restrictions placed in front of those who occupied it by BCFC. Eastenders turned around what looked to be a farcical situation last season and we should all want to see the same levels of incessant vocal support witnessed last season repeated again by 1200.
Tis now time starting v Derby to show how it s going to be from now on. Lets see the most vocal Babbers taking centre stage in our Cow Shed. See the Posh graphic thingy here.
Stop all thy buggering about Babbers. Get into the centre of G Block while the young uns wave at the away fans from F . This will at a swoop unify the sound again from blocks G and F. For decades the centre of the Eastend was where the vocal gathered and within a couple o f games this tradition will be reintroduced in what is still OUR HOME END and observed
or should bloody be again. Lets get in there from middle to top, big voices, drum, I am zider drinker, drink up thy zider, Johnson says, constant noise
hit the ground running v Derby.
In attempt to fulfil our Cow sheds potential a approach was made by Eastenders to BCFC via the Clubs supporter liaison David Lloyd and a letter to the Chairman and Mr Sex. Various points were raised regarding pay on the day, storage of flags and drums within the ground, Use of megaphones, flags on poles/sticks and fans and club working together. At this point a possible meeting between Eastenders and the clubs fan liaison
. Bloke has not taken place so it remains to be seen if Eastend Craposs finally gets a bit of European style Piezo Dynamic technological supporting equipment to conduct the Eastend in song.
The 3 Lions flag day v Matt Hills quite likeable Hairy Northern Monkeys of Preston was another resounding success and this day has now become part of South Bristol football tradition. Its simply gone from strength to strength and Mr SD will need a bigger pub if it continues in the same vein next season. Time now to see all that colour and enthusiasm displayed for Bristol City FC being displayed in the Eastend. Simply imagine fellow Wurzels how spectacular our end would look covered in flags similar to the Lions photos instead of no smoking signs?
Now lets give they visiting weirdo hair highlighting metro sexuals some yerache and they Kaadiff and Jacks and QPHAHA and they baldies and they gingers and they Hairy Northerners when they are preening themselves in front of our end or taking a corner. Keep at it and one of they precious tanning lotioned up ball shavers from that London will shank one into the Eastend. Its got all too nice at times down the Gate and even Holloway escaped last season without fans showing their true appreciation of the character caricature Gas look at me cringe worthy Knob jockey. Not good enough this, Attack!
Liverpool fans once sang "you got your education from The Kop" to emphasise what made them different and Wurzel fans should do similar but in our Bristol Fashion. In the very first Three Lions and a Robin was plea for City fans to "Drop the silly Anglo French stuff from Anfield along with the ring of fire lets get back to basics. Wurzel songs, blackbird, combine harvester and yes of course drink up thy cider all so more eminently suitable" . Only a few weeks into last season and that anthemic cultural West Country treasure I am the zider drinker was being heard regularly verse and chorus from our "Cow Shed". There is even now a flag within the Eastend celebrating this West Country legend by bearing "When the moon shines" along with flags merrily proclaiming We are Wurzels/Wurzel City/Wurzel loyal/Virtute Et Industrial. Lets keep pushing forward what makes the West Country and Wurzel City different mind. Imitate no bugger kids leave all this believe stuff to Manyou and Coca cola pushing it onto anybody who is gullible enough to think the total commercialisation of football is a good thing. Lets highlight that we really are different, we have our own wit and wisdom, our own unique culture, WE ARE WURZELS and that Bristol City FC is special like.
Come on Wurzel Brothers, Chaps, Coves, Kiddies, Fellows, Lads, Shavers, Sorts, Shirters and Sisters let hear this beauty in its lovely cidered up entirety. Sing it loud and proud me Babbers:
Drink up thy zider George, pass us round the mug
Drink up thy zider George, the garden's ver'nigh dug
Thy cheeks bin gettin' redder
From Charter'ouse to Cheddar
An' there's still more zider in the jug
(Chorus)
Drink up thy zider, Drink up thy zider,
For tonight we'll merry be
We'll knock the milk churns over
And roll 'em in the clover
For the corn's 'alf-cut and so be we!
Drink up thy zider George, thee bissn't goin' far
Drink up thy zider George, thee's gettin' quite a star
There's dung o'er all thy tat'ers
An' 'alfway up thy gaiters
An' there's still more zider in the jar!
(Repeat chorus)
Drink up thy zider George, get up off thick mat
Drink up thy zider George, put on thy girt big 'at
We'm off to Barrow Gurney
For to see my brother Ernie
An' there's still more zider in the vat!
(Repeat chorus)
Drink up thy zider George, 'tis time we 'ad a rest
Drink up thy zider George, the finest ever pressed
There's nothing like good cider
To make your smile grow wider
An' there's still more zider in the West!
(Repeat chorus)
The effect of 1200 Eastenders all joining together beneath the Eastends lovely low roof belting out six minutes of I a zider drinker and Drink up thy Zider verse and chorus every game really is going to be something to really look forward to. The enhancement of Bristol Citys reputation will be self perpetuating via the Eastend in the manifestation of all things eccentric, fun, mad, passionate and fun . Eastend reverberation time starts v Derby.
UP THE GLORIOUS CITY
