Yeah, I know we've gone below even them now...(!)

But shouldn't we go back to the original words for the Sky Blue Song?

Mansfield or Blackpool, Morecambe or anyone.

 

[Monners]

Kettering or Brackley, Corby or anyone (not sure why I have picked teams in Northants)

I always forget, who's Proud again?

It’s a fair point!
As I recall, the match day programme in the mid-60s printing the suggested variation for that day’s game – for example “Wild Wolves or Bolton, Millers or anyone”. I doubt if anyone took it seriously though and actually sang what was printed.

Only scans if it's Ket'ring too.

We could go all posh, like. Oxford or Cambridge, Durham or anyone.

Bit of local knowledge. Lived in Kettering as a kid - locals pronounce it as Kettrin - so fits nicely.

Corby is known as Kettering Zoo, but that's another story

I recall the Oysters was in the original song. Think they were Reading then ?

Yes that's right just remembered now.

Why are we even singing the Sky Blue Song any more or still playing in Sky Blue?
The Jimmy Hill era is well and truly over.
We need a new dawn, lets get rid of the old strip and song and start afresh.
Suggestions welcome but I know my preferences.
Yes, I know I'll have to change my avatar.

While we sing together
Play up sky blues
When we sing together
We will never lose

The bas tards called sisu
Otium or any one
They wont defeat us
We'll show them we are one


City....city....city

Play in the duff, then they could save some more money for new players.

Then we could sing.

The original idea was to change the 4th line to be the team we were playing, so "United or anyone" became "Grimsby or anyone" or whoever we were playing on that day. Perhaps we should reintroduce that?

Sorry but have to disagree. I'm still proud to wear Sky Blue and without Jimmy Hill we wouldn't have progressed. Cov City is and always should be Sky Blue.
The only change we want/need is a change of ownership !

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

I think we need a new ground in a new town and new supporters you lot are useless, and without you the club could go far.

Colchester

Colchester Town were the Oysters - Colchester United are the U's

Nice Google, but Oysters refers to Colchester in the SKy Blue Song.

That's two clubs. Proud is Preston and Peterborough is Posh.

Nice one CJ - never realised proud referred to PNE (learn something every day!). In fact that's two things today (sort of) - I googled the word recursion and am not sure I am any the wiser having done so - I dare anybody else to have a go, then give a definition of it to someone else, without losing confidence half way through your explanation!

Recursion is like when you ask someone to help you with something and while they are helping you, they have to ask you for help and then while you are helping them with that, you need their help again. This continues either until the task is complete or you forget what you were supposed to be doing.
