Turned out nice again.
Alan Randall, Nuneaton’s premier George Formby tribute act.
Anyone remember that shite “Sky Blue Land” song they played in the first couple seasons at the Ricoh? Awful.
This always felt like if James Bond did Coventry cityThis, for example.
This "sick" version of the Sky Blue Song is, I believe, what the kids nowadays call "trap".
I actually quite like that one. Probably because it makes a bit sad as it was a great era at HR with Dublin. Ndlovu, Whelan etcI think this is the worst of the "modern" era. Sounds like Cliff, Eurovision '68.
Used to get played at HR a lot.
Am I right in thinking that during the mid-90s, bands would play on a stage by the pitch at half-time?

"Pavarotti" did a song at half time on one boxing day in the mid 90's.
At Highfield Rd?"Pavarotti" did a song at half time on one boxing day in the mid 90's.
Yes the sky blue bellesYes, remember a few at HR and other grounds.
Always remember the girl dancers or cheerleaders or whatever prancing around the pitch. Never a good idea in front of pissed football fans.

My video getting a few hits today.
Did King play after a game too
I'm sure after a game they did a set of about 6 songsDon't remember that. We did use one of their songs for a chant for a brief time back in the 80s. Never caught on.
What!? This absolute banger.
Brought back the memories of cringing to this when it used to get played!
You're probably right. I have been to 100s (1000s?) games and can't remember hardly any of them.I'm sure after a game they did a set of about 6 songs
Na na na ner na ner ner na na na na na Blues!
Repeat…
To the tune of Alone without you by popular (for 5 minutes) Coventry beat combo King.
Remember this?
Was it during the early 00s that we came out to a medley of The Final Countdown and O Fortuna?
You might be right. Can't remember. Just reminds me of HR as does the lovely version of the Eton Boating Song they've taken to playing at the CBS now. Pleased to hear that again.
Recall how shit it was and how shit we were that season.Does anyone remember It's For Life, Son by BA Robertson?
Your dad is extending slightly.
it was announced that there would be major exciting news for all SkyBlue fans if we got to our seats in HR before kick off on the opening Saturday of our relegation season.
There was much speculation that we would be signing some World Cup superstar or similar. Anyroadup, it turned out that the big announcement was none other than BA Robertson - a personal friend of our manager Wee Gordon - had written a song that encapsulated the joy and commitment of being a football fan (especially of us). We got to hear the “world premiere” “performance” of the song -It’s for Life son. BA Robertson frolicked around while it blared over the tannoy to a decidedly mixed reception.
IIRC we were beaten 3-1 by Middlesbro and the song was never played again.
Up there with does she take it up the arse to David Beckham.Sounds right up there with the Sonia 'Get your tits out for the lads' rendition. At least that 's all I could hear, not sure what she was actually trying to sing.
Nor does our main anthem in its current iteration 2bflyrically it doesnt work in championship does it.
"every year, the dreaded fear
look at us still we are here
with the rest, with the best,"
...awkward.
AnyoneNor does our main anthem in its current iteration 2bf
Tottenham, Or Chelsea, United or anyone
If I recall this used to come on before they walked out of the tunnel, late 90s?
This always gives me the HR pre-match nostalgia too.
