LYRICS
Soak us to the skin
On the Shippo with no roof on
Walwyn scores. And City win.
Now we’ve reached the end
They say our old ground’s had its time
I don’t care, I love it there
Every bad match and heart they broke
We’d still come back for more
To hear the Longhurst roar
[Chorus]
Here we go
Do we want to? I don’t know
No Burton Stone for you but
We’ll still be red and blue and
Always be York City
But I’ll leave a little part of me
Bye bye Bootham
Bye bye
We beat Arsenal there
Cheered for Bottom, Brodie, Banton
Matty Blair and Ginner’s hair
It’s been bought and paid, thanks to Douglas Craig
There’ll be houses on a shrine
Didn’t even get to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Here we go
Do we want to? I don’t know
Got a new home, it’s true but
we’ll still be red and blue and
Won’t forget Connelly
Smashing one past Man City
Bye bye Bootham
Bye bye
I’ve got reservations
Cos they’re gonna knock you down
Build houses on our
Dreams and wishes
But we won’t forget that ground
After we’ve had vaccinations
And this whole thing’s turning round
We’ll still support them
In the new place
But we’ll always love our old ground
#ByeByeBootham #YorkCity #BoothamCrescent

Hartlepool fan here, I loved Bootham Crescent, my favourite away ground to go to. I’m gonna miss the old place ❤️

[@chuitarrocks]

Thanks man. It always felt like a popular away trip.

Can't imagine the pain of losing the ground where you spent every week cheering for your team for decades, the old stadium of my club(Benfica, Portugal) got demolished and rebuilt in 2004 the year that I was born, but my father still tells me stories about how much better the old stadium was and how the atmosphere was much better instead of having this fans that go to the stadium just to take pictures, this music is amazing and reflective, congrats and a salute from Portugal

Cheers! And, yeah, sad times

[@Will_Flatt]

@@chuitarrocks I know this is a long shot but the interview of Michael ingham in the Faded song (when we got relegated) is there any chance that you still have it need it for a video and can’t find it anywhere.

[@chuitarrocks]

@@Will_Flatt just had a quick look and don't think so, sorry

[@Will_Flatt]

@@chuitarrocks argh shame it sed in the link that it was on radio York but the clips clearly been deleted 😭

[@chuitarrocks]

@@Will_Flatt Yep, was definitely from Radio York. On the evening we got relegated (ie after that game).

Our old Maine Road was so much better than the Etihad, so I get how this feels
