Jelle1880 234 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Everyone knows this is a bigotted chant, aimed at Roman Kaffliks to tell them they are sub-human wates of breathing space and that we are the True White Protestant People. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxblue 122 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 It is said that "We Are The People" was a slogan used many years ago by workers in the Govan shipyards during strikes. From there it made the short journey to the terraces of Ibrox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelle1880 234 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 You obviously have no clue what I meant. IamthatIam said that we've always been the People and therefore it's rather silly asking when we became them, so there's no need for you telling him exactly the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

californiadreamin52 339 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Probably just more miss info but I was told it can about when in 1912, Harland and Wolff acquired another shipyard at Govan in Glasgow, Scotland. It bought the London & Glasgow Engineering & Iron Shipbuilding Co's Middleton and Govan New shipyards in Govan and Mackie & Thomson's Govan Old yard. The three neighbouring yards were amalgamated and redeveloped to provide a total of seven building berths, a fitting-out basin and extensive workshops. Harland & Wolff specialised in building tankers and cargo ships at Govan and brought many of its work force over to Govan to assist and help when the orders required it. In those days it was normal to work Saturday mornings and as Ibrox was the nearest football grounds many Belfast men would end up at the ground after a few jars in the local hostelries. The We Are The People phrase original came from the shipyard and the Belfast Bluenoses. No doubt someone will have a different story Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
