spudski Posted March 19 Author Report Share Posted March 19 I really believe we could make that song our own. I can imagine the crowd singing it as one. Gas have one, West Ham, Liverpool etc. etc. We need one imo. It's relevant...and the 'Blue' bit could be aimed at the Gas. Changed to ' what if I'd been Blue'. When the red, red, Robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along, along There'll be no more sobbing When he starts throbbing, his old sweet song Oh, wake up, wake up you sleepy head Get up, get up, get out of bed Cheer up, cheer up, the sun is red Live, love, laugh and be happy What if I've been blue? Now I'm walking through fields of flowers Rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours I'm just a kid again doing what I did again, singing a song When the red, red, Robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobImps Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Why we stopped playing this regularly down the gate I'll never understand. They play it at Charlton, remember last time we went there a load of us had a good sing a long 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 That’s a wonderful gesture from the club - well done all those concerned. An impressive 102 not out from the sprightly Ivor! Loved his rendition of ‘The red,red Robin’ He must one of only a few that know all the words! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I’m absolutely amazed to think that, when I first started going to games, Ivor would have already been age 65 and retired!! What an age! Fair play to him. And a great rendition of Red Red Robin too. Brilliant. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelksRed Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 We often criticise the club for a multiple things....this is good a football club transcending the game and doing something positive in the community.

Should play it before each game. I agree...it's traditional, and something that could unite young and old. I always think of my late father when I hear it. I should imagine it's the same for others who have lost loved ones that were fellow reds. It would be great to get it as our anthem and sung before all games. Bit of passion behind it and in memory of ones who are no longer there supporting. Edited March 19 by spudski 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s moving faster down that wing than half our squad at the moment. What I thought was so thoughtful, was that he lifted his walker over the white line so as not to spoil them. Different gravy that generation. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Tootle Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 What a great gesture by the club and what a gent Ivor is. Lot of respect for people from his generation, looks like a highly decorated member of the fire brigade also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
