Forza Eastend
FORZA EASTEND is a fan movement which aims to increase the levels of home support by encouraging noisy fans to congregate in the Eastend, and thus once again fill Ashton gate with the sound of home fans urging City onto victory. It's not enough just to buy a ticket for the Eastend, to sample the atmosphere and rely on the efforts of others to create a red and white wall of sound, all Eastenders must sing until they can sing no more. The library at Ashton Gate is closed for good.
Its beginnings was formed during Gary Johnson's first season at Bristol City which saw several homes games transform the experience of going to Ashton Gate into a wretched trip to the dentists. Not only were City pummeled on the pitch, the ground fell into a deathly silence only punctuated by small groups of people wearing odd colours and speaking in tongues. This had to stop. The gallant Open the Eastend campaign was a massive success leading to the unforgettable scenes at the Rotherham end of season party, but once the stand was open, what next? It became clear following alleged incidents during the QPR game that somewhere within the dark forces of BCFC, the Eastenders would not have their own way. What was needed was a fan movement that would steer the stand away from potential re-closure, back into the halcyon days of the past when the Wurzel noise generated by the Eastend shook the whole of BS3.
Now up and running for the second season FORZA EASTEND seeks to create a spectacular backdrop to watching Bristol City at Ashton Gate through the use of flags and banners of all shapes and sizes, including the return of our own unique giant flags. As we speak Eastenders, new and old, are creating their own flags and identity within the Bristol City family. FORZA EASTEND also aims to safeguard the history and traditions of the Eastend through promotion of our own individual Chants and West Country songs. We don't want bland generic songs, the type which can be found throughout the sea of half empty modern concrete bowls that we come across on our travels- Ipswich till I die? Hurry up then.
FORZA EASTEND is an open fan group which also broadly supports the supporters trust, anybody can join; you just have to get behind the team, sing your heart out and get involved. We also recommend drinking cider that originates from the West Country as the perfect pre-match ritual, bound to bring success on and off the pitch.
