Pretty random video. Guy walking around what is now Sky Blue Way filming an hour after Coventry lifted the FA Cup in 1987.

Pre Sky Blue Way looks a right mess and video also contains a dog having a shit but gets better

Does anyone remember how in the '80's dog poo always went white?

I always put that down to the drugs.

Did you experiment too?

Don't think it would be like that now for a number of reasons. The FA cup is not as prestigious nowadays; Cov is alot more depressing; That area is now full of immigrants and students. Would love it to happen again though this was a strange glimpse into when our city's number 1 sports team actually achieved success, very rare.

It wasn't exactly a whites only area back then!

I think it would be even better now as we are in more need of cheering up.

I enjoyed watching that just to play name that car!!!

Love the way people who record stuff like this would get loads of abuse at the time but 20 year later they suddenly become cool.

You are aware you get white immigrants. And to the other fella, you'd have hated me a few years ago, being a mixed race student.

Coundon, take a look at LIFE ON MARS, the tv show from a couple of years ago. The John Simm character 'Sam Tyler' gives the reply to that white dog poo question. Apparently dog food producers in those days, 1970s on, used to bulk up the food with chalk. That's what he says. It kind of makes sense.
Doesn't Coventry look rough in that film. Worse now. Well done to the bloke who filmed it.

I think he was referring to the fact it's full of poles and Eastern Europeans... Which is correct.

Heh, the wasteland site with the VW campervan parked in front of it is where my old lift to Highfield Road used to park on matchdays once it got turned into a mini carpark. That's one end of Far Gosford Street, right? It's getting on for 20 years since I was last there…

And You're just a c**t
I actually meant that the majority of people who live probably weren't born here. I didn't mean to offend anybody.

I had to laugh at this one :facepalm:. All i was saying is that immigrants and students live in an area. Why would I hate people i don't know? Where did hate or even dislike come into this?
