RobMcCaffery Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Guess who managed to foul up a war cry at Eastbourne I managed to lose count of the Es. It wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't the announcer. Edited July 3, 2016 by rmc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 You're going to have to indulge me on this one, I'm of a (comparatively) tender age. If cheese, why cheese? Guess who managed to foul up a war cry at Eastbourne I managed to lose count of the Es. It wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't the announcer. Not so many years ago at Wolves, an announcer who shall be nameless *cough* Porky *cough* delivered a Wolves warcry without the V, drawing a spirited response of "Woles!" from one section on the terrace.

norbold Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 The war cry at Romford was "Give us a B" "B" "Give us an O" "O" ....etc.... "What have we got?" "Bombers" There was a section of the crowd near the starting gate (I think) who used to reply backwards, so, "Give us a B" "S" "Give us an O" "R"....etc...."What have we got?" "Srebmob" You had to be there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) At the Glasgow White City track there was cheer leaders on the centre green with boards spelling out Tigers, Problem was when they turned to faced the back straight the boards read S..R..E..G..I..

Gemini Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Still have 'war cries' at Leicester. Give us an L, give us an I......... Spot on! That's the only way forward - by going back to thisPlus, 13 heats and a second halfRiders socialising with fans in bar afterwards. Shame but it would very rarely happen these days as they are too busy packing up and catching a flight to ride for their other team/s.

Yes they did go C-U-D-A-S - CUDAS! Well if it was good enough for Gordon Parkins..... Edited July 4, 2016 by rmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice Of Reason Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Or are you a 20 something and too cool to shout I think it's more a case of the average speedway fan being of an age whereby Alzheimer's would not enable them to get past the third letter! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Not at Glasgow, the team are in the bar having a bite to eat and sign autographs. Ah...well....that's Premier League riders for you. I hope Leicester return to that league next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Christ, people miss war crys? They're as cringe as it gets and it's a bloody good thing that they have died a death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommer Mon Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Cradley v Wolves without a doubt. I can recall Sam Ermolenko telling the story of when he tried to explain the meaning of the Dudley / Wolves Trophy to Freddie Lindgren and why half of each side was regularly injured at the end of each encounter. All Freddie could keep saying was "I don't understand - it was a challenge match!" Yes but what a challenge match! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Where did it all go wrong? I know people started to think it was a serious sport with no strange rules as television showed riders getting double points for beating an opponent, the same riders that they saw last week but riding for a different team to that shown the previous week and the use of a joker in the World Cup which made it a competitive sport thus leaving outsiders wondering if it was for real or a new cartoon series. Oh well. Bless. Another load of baloney. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
