RobMcCaffery 2,752 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourentee 987 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 7,116 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Voice Of Reason 2,124 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
