paultheroyal Crossed my mind last night and seen it being commented today but with PA belting out "three little birds" last night at half time - is that a sign?

Also, impressed how randomly everyone else joined in to sing.


Three Little Birds has become a really popular thing to sing at loads of football grounds in the past few months. Ajax have been doing it for many years and its their unofficial anthem. Why just recently its spread to loads of other clubs I don't know.

Yeah, I thought that too. It was a bit random but one of my favourite song's. I was thinking today that the words would have a lot of meaning to us given our current circumstances.


The PA crew probably had the same thought process. I think we should adopt it, even if Ajax did beat us to it.

Apparently since 2008. https://medium.com/the-music-magnet/the-story-of-how-ajax-amsterdam-immortalized-bob-marley-with-three-little-birds-f4c5767d7134#:~:text=Cardiff's%20then%2Din%2Dstadium%20announcer,song%20%E2%80%9CThree%20Little%20Birds%E2%80%9D.

It was pretty random though, with very apt lyrics. Taking it a step further, first indication that Gerry Cardinale is going to be our saviour!

:wink:

If anything, I'd suggest it alludes to our upturn in form on the pitch. It's also topical at the moment.

That first half wasn’t much of an upturn :D

windermereROYAL After the red card protest playing that at HT could be significant, but then again it could mean nothing, I like to clutch at straws, anything remotely hopeful I will cling on to.


This is getting tenuous now, are we really going down the road of connecting any song played by the club at games with various businesses that might be interested in buying the club?

Should be the next STAR meeting with Howe today, be interesting* to see how he manages to dress up the "nothing has happened" message this week.

I'm not expecting a significant update yet, these things take time. I reckon another 2 weeks is fair, that will have been almost 8 weeks since the Port Vale invasion and the traction it generated. I'd want to hear of exclusivity by then.

Presumably the tax was paid this month, as we haven’t heard anything to the contrary.

And about 6 weeks since he said he was hopeful we'd have exclusivity in a couple of weeks. Which is a good two months after we were last told we hoped to have exclusivity in a couple of weeks and a sale completed by early New Year.

Only due today so if it hasn't/isn't being paid, will likely not find out until late this afternoon/tomorrow.

I still remember JM getting a bit peeved when the club started playing " 'ello John, got a new motor " in late 1989.

I think if they play The End by The Doors it would be more significant.
