Hey Jude pre match

Thu Aug 10, 2023 4:56 pm

I'd love to hear hey Jude brought back before the games build up the atmosphere something we been missing for years the music before the games are just awful supporters club or someone put this into the club I think it will definitely get the fans more up for it.

Something that should be addressed at the first Fans Parliament full meeting, next weeks is Q and A with Erol Bulut, but certainly after that.

Don't know why they got rid of it in the first place.

Was it not Warnock that stopped it?
Sure I remember it was?

Deffo should bring it back though. It is a rousing song that almost everyone joins in with and gets them “in the mood”.

Noticed that Wrexham fans were singing that the other night and they actually knew the words to Men of Harlech.

The Wales Rugby crowd were singing Yma O Hyd on Saturday. Thieving sods.

Liverpool have YNWA and Fields of Athenrae

Man city have Blue Moon

Stoke have Delilah

I think we should have a run up of I'll be there and Men of Harlech, to get the atmosphere going, then walk out to Yma o Hyd

We should be known for that

It stopped a long time before Warnock was manager

Cardiff City tannoy system start playing what the fans want. Hey Jude is one of them. Get the fans on your side.

Vincent Tan stopped Hey Jude.

It won’t be played whilst he is still here.

:bluebird: :bluebird: I don’t want Hey Jude (or Men of Harlech) when the team come out.
I suggested on here quite a few years back (before it was taken up by Wales)that the team come onto the pitch to something more rousing like ‘Yma o Hyd’ - A song to get the fans up for the match and let the opposition know they are AWAY at Cardiff Wales.

Now that the Wales team use Yma o Hyd, we could ‘adopt’ another rousing song for the Bluebirds like “i’r gad”

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=i%27r ... CQULGB498c

“Dewch Cardiff (Cymru) hen ac ifanc
Dewch i’r gad”
Come to the frontline Cardiff old and young
Come to the frontline

In other words we are up for the game (fight) come all you Bluebirds fans, be ready on the front line with the team!!
:bluebird: :bluebird:

I love Hey Jude and Men of Harlech. Everyone does the clapping bits But it would be even better if more people actually sang along too

I really don’t understand why it is not played If any song got the city crowd going before a match it was this song . You want every advantage you can get however small and if this can get the players effort by and extra 1% and have the fans up again it is this song

Re: Hey Jude pre match

Men of Harlech has to be played surely

Other clubs doing the hey jude.

Re: Hey Jude pre match

Wasn’t there a big push years ago to get it reintroduced and I’m sure Ali got sacked not long after.
It was also mentioned on here that the players didn’t like it which I find hard to believe.

Re: Hey Jude pre match

Fri Aug 11, 2023 12:56 pm

I'd bring back Ali fullstop

While lots of clubs sing it now I am sure we helped to repopularise it as a result of the Leeds Cup game when it rang around the bob bank. For those really old gits like me " Those were the days" was the song that really got us going back in the late sixties and early seventies- "The Toshack and Clarke era". The wooden planks on the old Grange End would be literally bouncing as we sang the chorus. Probably wouldn't have sung it now cos Mary Hopkin is from Swansea way, but it didn't seem to matter then.

I quite like MOH but if it was to change then Yma O Hyd would be the better option, keeping in with our nationality

Thats the song. Great days. Coincidently a clip of Mary Hopkin signing it was on BBC Wales later last night after i had posted. And bizzarely, though it was no 1 in the UK, according to BBC it only reached no 2 in the USA.Kept off the top spot by- Hey Jude!!
