Sky Blue Way is a stretch of dual carriageway connecting the Coventry Ring Road to the A444 Jimmy Hill Way. It was built in the 1980s to bypass the historic Far Gosford Street (and clearly the European Community chipped in). It was named after the colour of Coventry City Football Club, winners of the FA Cup in 1987, who at that time still played at the Highfield Road stadium nearby (Jimmy Hill had been the manager who had brought them to first division prominence some years earlier).
