All of the words, to some of the chants. Plus a game of who will call it "tinpot" first?
Before we begin, we know we will get stick for this.
Alongside the praise we receive on social media for the flags and the increase in the enjoyment of attending games at the Carra and alongside and the Sheffield United and Ipswich fans wading in to call us tinpot, before heading back to their own feeds to bemoan dying atmospheres, we get the occasional; “what are the words to that chant”?
Nobody wants to hear recordings of us singing them, so have them in their purest form; words on a screen. We even put the tune in brackets if we know it.
Finally, this is not us “telling people what to sing”, you can sing whatever you want, you’re all adults and you’re all responsible for your own actions. This is merely us telling you what we’re singing.
First up, the oldest, the weirdest and the best;
On the Ball City
Kick it off, throw it in,
Have a little scrimmage,
Keep it low,
Splendid rush,
Bravo win or die,
On the Ball City
Never Mind the Danger
Steady on,
Now’s your chance,
Hurrah we’ve scored A GOAL
CITY, CITY, CITY
One City Strong (Note, it’s not “when City score…”)
One shirt, one football team,
Two colours, yellow and green
ONE CITY STRONG
And we’ll march on,
And on, and on
(repeat)

Son of Bryan Gunn,
We’ve got Angus in goal

Max Aarons (Star Man)
There’s a star man,
Playing down the right,
His name is Maximilian (or Maxy Aarons),
And he’s fucking dynamite
Josh Sargent (Freed from desire)
Sargent’s on fire,
Your defence is terrified,
Sargent’s on fire,
Your defence is terrified,
Sargent’s on fire,
Your defence is terrified,
DUH, DUH, DUH, DUH, DUH, DUH, DUH, DUH, DUH, DUH, DUH, DUH

Stephen Curnow on the words today, on the incredible redemption of Super Mario. He's so good, we made a sticker.

Bristol City arrive in Norfolk as the Championship's form team. 6 league wins on the spin since the turn of the year have seen the Robins enter the Play Off mix and with games in hand, could trouble the top 2 with a win Saturday. Andrew Lawn spoke to Jamie Evans from One Stream in Bristol for his thoughts.
Some of these need updating! We haven’t got Rhodes anymore and I can’t think of a name to replace him with at the moment. Krul is probably the nearest to fit the rhyme.
