New club anthem?

Sat Aug 25, 2012 8:48 pm

Yma o Hyd?

Don’t worry, not asking anyone to learn Welsh. Think it would be a rousing and unifying song to sing when opposing fans sing ‘you sold your history’, or ‘your not Cardiff anymore’. I think we should just sing the chorus

Yma o Hyd,
Yma o Hyd,
We’re still Cardiff City,
We’re still Cardiff City,
Yma o Hyd!

Whether blue or red, no one should deny that we are still Cardiff City and still proud. It would be a unique song to sing that no other club does (Rather than copying Palace or Ajax!)

What does everyone think?

Our fans are the most least consistent in creation, even away we're awful when singing a chant, Bristol City sang the SAME chant for a few minutes, with us it's a "You are my Cardiff" then bang quiet for a few minutes, I do like this song and idea but we now have one of the laziest fans in the land

it's just we got so many songs, and so many people try getting them going at once people just cba! we should just sing the ones that are actually 'our' songs like 'i'll be there' 'yma o Hyd' 'You are my Cardiff' and stuff like that!

"Are you Wrexham in disguise, what's it like to sell your soul, shit club no history, shit club no history" and the long chant was about sheep in a field

Great shout! Used to love this song played just before the games kicked off at Ninian Park!

Ry'n ni yma o hyd
Ry'n ni yma o hyd
We're still Cardiff City
We're still Cardiff City
We're still Cardiff City
Ry'n ni yma o hyd

Love the idea of chanting Yma o Hyd!! I would love it if fans bothered learning the chorus to Men of Harlech also (it would take two minutes) it would be fantastic for a WELSH club to chant some things in WELSH. I really think it would improve the atmosphere. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

100% agree frosty. We got some proper lazy fans. Can't be bothered to learn new songs and chants. :ayatollah:

Before Wales played Rumania in the World Cup Qualifier at the old Arms Park
BBC Wales was airing "You're just to good to be true" for weeks. All the words
up on screen. Buzzing I was, couldnt wait to sing it there. It would have been
awesome.

But no.

du duh du uh duh du duh du duh duh duh duh duh ... make no mistake that ground
was chocka with City fans that night

f*cking embarrassing.

Annis has put this up before. Its Class. Our fans are incapable of anything like it
