liquorlicence likes beer and blues Rank: Chinny	The Sauce Force posted on: 12/5/2003 10:25:26 AM Much like the aforementioned Minstrel Wanderers the Sauce Force's main aims included: - Following Birmingham City Getting as drunk as possible Making up football chants, rather silly ones in fact, mostly about food. The "Tin of Salmon" song being one of their more popular ones. And you can still hear "I'd Rather be a Sausage than an Egg", chanted today. Fine body of men, absolutely barking every man jack of them, but funny all the same.

The ones I'm thinking of used to stand to the left of the middle kop fence and invented the sotv song as well as when the beans come out the tin and our own version of you'll never walk alone WITH OUR COATS IN THE AIR. waves sky blue patrick kagoule

liquorlicence likes beer and blues Rank: Chinny	The Sauce Force replied on: 12/8/2003 10:27:46 AM The certainly knew one another, but the Sauce Force were somewhat younger. What they lacked in years they made up for in lyrical genius. "Oh when the beans come out the tin" is a classic. I think SOTV is attributed to Sibo, a Minstrel Wanderer, who made it up whilst jumping from table to table during a session on the cider in the Vine. My personal favourite was "I like Salt and Vinegar Crisps".
the_bleeder	The Sauce Force replied on: 12/9/2003 1:50:44 AM Possibly the finest moment of the sauce force was at Brisbane Road, East London the home of Leyton Orient where they managed to acquire a full 3 piece lounge suite. They persuaded an offical to open the gates and the furniture was carried into the ground with the gateman muttering those immortal words "I´m ´aving bugger all to do with it"From the comfort of the sofa and chairs which were stationed behibd the goal they watched the game. My personal fave ditty was:- I like venison I like venison Me Dad like snooker but me Mum´s got the tennis on Their one and only public performance was at a Billy Bragg red Wedge concert in the mid 80´s
gerrout my shed	The Sauce Force replied on: 12/9/2003 3:23:47 AM oh that strikes a memory in my disappearing brain. But in a similar vein was anyone here part of the few that went to plymouth argyle of a night? We took an old fashioned picnic hamper and had a jolly nice tea on the open terrace. It was the 1980's when every team thought they had a firm so we had to complain in clipped posh accents to the coppers; "I say constable, could you kindly request those irksome hooligans to shut their cakeholes" thinking about it, it may have been bristol rovers. Was it bristol rovers that had flower beds behind the goals? All these memories and I have to live in a ****in shed. There's no justice
liquorlicence likes beer and blues Rank: Chinny	The Sauce Force replied on: 12/9/2003 9:28:41 AM I remember them taking a homemade banner to Stoke (I think) with the words "Godzilla verses the Smog Monster" emblazoned across it. The Police made them take it down, as they were of the understanding that it was some sort of code to entice violence outside the ground. In reality the only thing it was provoking was a few laughs. The following away match, they took a pink blanket and all stood underneath it, as it was felt that this couldn’t be construed as inciting football violence. The pink blanket did come in handy, however, when having missed the last train home, they all settled underneath it again at the train station to get their heads down. They woke in the morning to find a homeless bloke snuggled up with them.

I tell people down south that I'd be happier with blues being ok in the nationwide than being shit in the premier and they don't get it. If you're blues you'll know that we never chose this team, it was in our blood from birth, part of the family like. The same as being a brummie....kro and sotv
liquorlicence likes beer and blues Rank: Chinny	The Sauce Force replied on: 12/10/2003 10:04:21 AM I know what you mean. This seasons away matches really have been void of any amusement/entertainment, and you just don't see the likes of Squid anymore. Occasionally someone will come up with a witty chant, but the days of such acts of complete selfless lunacy are long gone. In that respect at least, I'd like us to get relegated so we can get the proper fans back. The Jo-Jo's, the Squids, and his brother Octopus. In fact I had a better laugh following Blues in the height of football hooliganism, even when you were likely to get a kick-in, it was still fun.

the_bleeder	The Sauce Force replied on: 12/11/2003 2:15:32 AM Yep I agree wholeheartedly. Lets get relegated, lose all the prawn sarnies who have ruined what was once the most intimidating atmosphere in English football and get back to crowds of 8034. Real times and real people. One member of the Sauce Force would often remove his Mod attire before partaking in a spot of squabbling normally outside the Hunters moon on a balmy Friday evening in July or August. Pies, Pies They´re bigger than the average human eyes Mutton, Mutton I like to rub it in my belly button Mince, Mince I went into the kitchen for a quick brisk rinse Haddock, Haddock I´m having cookery lessons from Clement Freud

On a personal level, there'd be no queue for the ladies. When I've had a few down the match, as often is the case, I always feel hard done by having to queue and get the "I've been coming down 'ere for years" syndrome, which I think should give me privilege over every other female there. Anyone remember the song about the horse eating Liquorish Allsorts? And the rest of "sausages, sausages sizzling hot sausages, get them in the pot, get them while they're hot..."

Mad nutters like B who always seemed to be eating while in the midst of a ruck Those were the days my friend, we took the Stretford End, we took the Holte and the Northbank Highbury... Sorry went off on one there. Yes those were the days. The comedy value of a Blues away game back then was second to none. I think even Ian Wright has been quoted in saying that his funniest moment in football was the Crystal Palace verses Birmingham City, relegation celebration. Some chap in a Margaret Thatcher face mask exchanging blows with a Crystal Palace supporter, although I suspect some of the cockneys were from Millwall. A pantomime cow running around with a sign saying "Moolu Warriors" pinned to him. Aarrhh those were the days. Relegations is the only way to go now me thinks.
