Well done to all involved, great idea.

It was also great the way you kept the secret, never knew a thing about it till I walked into work this Morning.

Proud of you all, good job well done.

PSGM1 in your face !!!!!!

Looks like some of them should be in the Residents*

*something only us oldies will understand.

To go a little more fancypants, there's also a map charting locations of where people have tweeted the ribbon locations:

Why has this not been made available for all fans? Seems the SBT like to think that members are the only fans that can participate in this type of thing.

Get there Rich - no one's stopping you.

I would have thought it had to be done that way for the surprise factor besides could you imagine 7000 people turning up now theres an idea
:thinking about:
Also do you know how difficult it is to get sky blue ribbon in the city that is famous for ribbon making?

oldskyblue58 · Jul 29, 2013

Think the idea Rich was to start it and let everyone join in so it got a life of its own. I would have thought the more people doing it the better and you dont need to be a trust member to join in

I feel like I haven't been invited to the party. This sort of exclusive thing makes me like the SBT less than I already did. It's like having a fan club of the club. If you're not in the SBT you're not a proper fan type of thing.

WestEndAgro · Jul 29, 2013

I drove along Little Park Street earlier today virtualy every lampost/sign was decorated with the ribbons, even outside the Police Station well done and spread the word.

COVENTRY LOYAL

smileycov · Jul 29, 2013

will they be left up? be good to keep adding them

WestEndAgro · Jul 29, 2013

The plan is to leave them in place until we return to Cov, keep adding to them please. Get them on your cars also.

Nick · Jul 29, 2013

Apparently they are being taken down?

tbf, tying a ribbon somewhere doesn't need trust, or any other membership.

Rich
We tried to keep it very hush hush for the one last night as did not want the Media involved hence why we did the CT and CWR last. Everything was organised verbally rather on Internet.
Now its in the open we maybe doing more of these and anyone is welcome to join In not just Trust members. If you want any of the plastic ribbon pleas private me and will get some to you?

Skybluerevolution (Pt2) · Jul 29, 2013

I know there are talented musical types on here...can anyone change the words to "tie a yellow ribbon" to suit our plight, Tie a Sky Blue ribbon round the old oak tree, it will be three long years (with a possible 2 year extension) till you next see me...something along those lines maybe?

Am sure some will be taken down Nick, but we have got 1,000s more to put up and plenty offers of help.
They will not get them all, even the Police thought it was a decent idea and just let us get on with it.

Steve.B50 · Jul 29, 2013

How about another song involving "ribbons" ?
Lt Pigeon. ' Ribbons Everywhere'

I was a dancer in the city centre club in the late 70's

Steve.B50 · Jul 29, 2013

I was still at school then.

CJ_covblaze · Jul 29, 2013

Sadly many of what was put up last night have been removed :-(

I'm glad someone has took off the midland heats of the world disco dancing championships on youtube, god that was embarrassing.

Ribbons Everywhere

Lieutenant Pigeon completed their recording today, I have it on my PC and will knock up a temporary video prior to a proper video being made.
I sent them new lyrics for "Bobbing Up & Down Like This" which they have largely used, inserting a few of their own.
They want nothing at all for doing this and the Sky Blue Trust are free to do what they want with the track - personally I'd get it onto iTunes as soon as.

Re: Tie A Yellow Ribbon - problem is you have to get the publishers permission to change words etc, all very convoluted. Someone did come up with some great alternative lyrics but not sure if you'd get fans singing them.
Will post a link to video later when it's done. Or maybe you will need to listen to the Vic Minett show on BBC C&W tomorrow

Re: Ribbons, I've been covering Earlsdon with them and encouraging shops to display all week, didn't know anything about it being 'secret' and have only just re-joined the SBT.

So council tax payers have today funded Council* employees going round Cov to remove blue ribbons? How useful!

*assuming it is Cov City Council who have began taking them Down

deanocity3 · Jul 29, 2013

ribbons story just been on Phil Upton's programme

ccfcdan · Jul 29, 2013

I've attached one to my car Ariel. It would be good to see them on cars all over the city, they can't be removed by the council.I bought mine from Cov market 60p for a meter of ribbon.

georgehudson · Jul 29, 2013

well, if they are taking them down, we'll just have to put more up

chiefdave · Jul 29, 2013

any idea who's taking them down, is it the council? surely even Fisher wouldn't bother sending someone round the city taking the ribbons down?

ajsccfc · Jul 29, 2013

CWR have been covering it and polling people who don't support Cov but 'got' what it was about, so that's a check in the positive column.

Bill Glazier · Jul 29, 2013

Has anyone put any around Sisu's London office?
