Sweeneys Penalties Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 It isn't really an issue for us City fans, so no point in getting steamed up about it. It isn't likely to be an issue for quite some time either. I have a mate who is a mad fan of Glaswegian club...he is a Glaswegian, so no issue from me. He has loads of Polo shirts, home shirts and away shirts, but he soes collect the twin scarfs on his travels.

22A Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If someone thinks they can make money out of it, a scarf will be produced, one half red, the other blue with white writing. "Bristol" will be centralised with (obviously) "City in the red half and "Rovers" on the blue end. Some fans will buy them as a souvenir of "a momentous and rare encounter between the West Country giants". Most fans of both clubs will avoid them though.

Equally if when they were younger, I was taking my kiddies to their first and rare outing to a premier league team I supported, I could see how I could end up buying one so they had a momento of the game. Wearing them is laughable, but can see a few Lincoln fans getting them at Arsenal. Maybe. Not my cup of tea, but can see why some buy them I suppose.

bristolmoose Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I live in Yeovil and when Manchester United came to visit a couple of years ago there was a bloke in the centre of town (nowhere near Huish Park) despondently pushing a shopping trolley festooned with half green, half red scarves, yours for the princely sum of £10. Saddest sight i ever saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Whoever started the half and half thing must've been having a laugh.... but ended up with a nice little earner (if hopefully short lived) on their hands.... I'm hoping to win a few bob on the lotto tomorrow, if I do I'm thinking I might invest in making reversible home/away strip replica shirts... gotta be on a winner with those eh? ..... then as a long shot, with so many 'supporters' nowadays having almost obligatory 'second' teams they 'support' how about the reversible shirt thing covering the first and second choice teams? ... of club/national team reversible shirts too? .... How about same for socks and shorts.. ? This time next week I'm gonna be a Billionaire ... I can feel it in me waters.. talking of water... I gotta another idea, it seem to work with alcoholic mixes ... so how about Mineral Water Cocktails? Buxton/Malvern etc?? Hmm, I'm on a roll now, 'roll' gives me an idea I'm using my loaf, .... erm, no, on second thoughts, that'd be taking things too far, forget that one, no one would buy half and half bread would they?, I'm being stupid now. Right gimme six numbers for the Lotto, wish me luck and we can go halves on it and split the winnings 50/50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The only time I would get one is if I'm a neutral at a match which I deem significant enough to want to remember for the rest of my life, e.g.. a UCL final or FA cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I believe they were originally introduced by some 'wise' berk when many of the fans in attendance would be considered neutral or if it was such a celebratory match. Could not really see the point of it then but understood the reasoning. Now it has gone mainstream and all it smacks of is gormless greed. Still there we are, we all have a choice to buy or not to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
