Terry hall (16 Viewers)

Dreadful and very disappointing. No minutes applause and what was flashed up was so low in volume it was frustrating to watch. The sound system is shot to bits and needs upgrading.

I didn’t think there was much of an effort if I’m honest. I know it’s only 48 hours since Terry halls passing but I think we could have done a bit better personally.

I could hear it half time while I was going for a slash? Had the video on and then a quote at the end with an applause at half time. Then had the Specials on at full time.

I'm not too sure what people wanted. Did they want CCFC to make a hologram of him dancing across the pitch or something?

We always play Enjoy Yourself when we win.

A tribute every week then.

 

[SBT]

This tweet has 7000 likes and loads of replies from people saying how great the tribute was. It was nice!

Along with the video:

I might be missing it but can't see Man Utd even tweeted anything?

 

[Johnnythespider]

I've no problem with the content it was just too quiet

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Think we are going a bit overboard here,for a Man Utd. fan as well.

You must have ears like dumbo then.

Pardon?

 

[CCFC54321]

Pardon?

you said you could hear the tribute from the bogs.... ?

What's him being a Man Utd fan got to do with anything?

 

[Nick]

Aside from the hearing gag.

Yeah I could.

They did a tribute, don't know what but they did

 

[ccfctommy]

I heard it fine from where I was sat. I dunno, may be just me.

I heard it in the concourse easily enough

 

[Greggs]

Wasn't he a Man U fan?

 

[ccfctommy]

Wasn't he a Man U fan?

Yeah, not that's it's relevant.

 

[Greggs]

Yeah, not that's it's relevant.

What do you mean? He was from Coventry, but supported another club. Surely that's relevant? Not having a dig, was just wondering.

 

[GIMOC]

Yeah, not that's it's relevant.

It is a bit. He never supported Cov. The celebration last night was just right. Great band from the city. Trouble was his affiliation to the club was minimal

I think you are missing the point

 

[GIMOC]

I think you are missing the point

What point? The club gave him a good tribute before the game and half time. He was legend from Coventry who will be missed.
The club got it right. He had no affiliation to the club whatsoever. Was a regular at United too

We are celebrating the life of a great Coventrian, his allegiance to the club or any other club is irrelevant.

we did celebrate it, so not sure what the issue is? People talking about minute silence etc… he had no affiliation to the club whatsoever, in fact slagged Cov City off in the past. The club got it spot on

 

[Speedie's Head]

He apologised a long time ago for starters. He certainly wasn't the only cov lad who could see Old Trafford from his bedroom window...

good idea, they can add one of Clive Owen in a Liverpool kit when he goes...

 

[ccfctommy]

Hall was of course a United supporter, but The Specials are intertwined with the city and by extension, CCFC. Those kits, playing of the music, gigs at the Ricoh etc.

 

[nicksar]

On balance at very short notice I think the Club did really well with the Terry Hall tribute.

 

[Hobo]

He was from Coventry. He had talent and had a very good career. He died too young. The club and fans paid a lot of respect and played tribute through music and videos.

But he wasnt a supporter of Coventry City football club. . I thought the tributes were respectful and appropriate

Currently listening to the Piccadilly Radio recording that Timmy Mallet has put out from his time as a DJ there. Basically handed 2 hours over to Terry to play his favourite songs and present them.



Needed something to listen to while sorting out a full big ikea bag of washed socks into pairs. Really helped. Always felt you get a real good insight into people by listening to the music they love. Some great tracks from many genres and many decades. Plug’s some of his own material too, which isn’t a bad thing.

How many singles were you left with?

Shitloads.

I seem to remember Pink Floyd did a midnight set after Chuck Berry.

I was at the Pink Floyd gig that followed on from Chuck Berry (and Slade) It was a later start than the advertised midnight start time. Think the Floyd came on around 2am. It was 100% at the Locarno.

They'll be saving all their efforts for when Mick Hucknall goes.

 

[Super Graham Withey]

Football clubs represent their communities. Terry Hall was an iconic figure from our community who helped put Coventry on the map in a way that probably no others have in my lifetime. The club should have had a minute’s applause.
