Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted December 1, 2019 Football is not for tourists. Either you want Norwich to win or you don't. If you don"t want Norwich to win fine, but don't pretend that you do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peanuts 150 Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Commented on this to my wife before the game that while we often see people selling them this was the first time this season I’d noticed many people wearing them. I’d always assumed people only bought them to collect and not to actually wear at the game. Edited December 1, 2019 by Peanuts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted December 1, 2019 I think they're f***ing pony, but then again if I had a kid and I was taking him/her to his/her first ever match, I'd probably pay a fiver for one as a souvenir. We were laughing at them today as (probably due to copyright reasons) they didn't even say Arsenal - the middle letter was replaced by a star - ARS✯NAL. Looked well budget.

SwindonCanary 455 Posted December 1, 2019 Those wearing them, went home happy with the match ending in a draw ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 699 Posted December 3, 2019 If you wear a half and half, does that make you neutral?..... What would be the point of attending a game where you don't mind who wins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,088 Posted December 3, 2019 I always wonder about the sellers of these. Did they order them specially this season and then throw away the ones they don’t sell, or do they have a shed full of the lesser fixtures waiting until we play Sunderland or Yeovil again? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're right, anyone with a load of Norwich/1p5wich scarves will be hanging on to them for a good while. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst I don't fully agree with the comment, with the current squeeze on tickets I would hope that fans of one of the teams are actually the ones who have got tickets, bit the 'tourists'. Though I do agree with the first game momento as being a valid justification....and thinking about it,.people collect their ticket stubs and programmes so would collecting half and half scarfs be that different? Though not wearing them obvs (unless you'd forgotten your proper scarf at a pinch). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted December 3, 2019 Say you bought a half/half scarf before the Man City game - you then have a momento/souvenir of a great occasion in our history, which you can look at in years to come as a reminder of a brilliant day. Wearing or waving it at a match is different..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Budapest Canary 152 Posted December 3, 2019 I bought my only half and half scarf when a few years ago me and my 12 year old son watched City vs West Ham in Boleyn Ground in the home end, as our allocation was sold out for the new Year's Day fixture. (City lost 2-1). Since we were sitting among WH fans "incognito", the only legit way we could wear green and yellow was in the form of a half/half scarf. It also came handy for presenting ourselves as dumb football tourists , who displayed limited enthusiasm when WH scored. Perhaps some others buy them for similar reasons.

Last time we played Ajax in preseason, I went with an Ajax buddy, h and h scarves were a tenner each on the way in from a geezer by the bridge, we declined, on the way out he was happy to let 2 go for a fiver!! My guess is that they cost sweet FA to buy in if you order a decent amount. Incidentally outside Benficas stadium a few years after, was an unofficial but huge stall selling all manner of h and h scarves and counterfeit jerseys, and there it was, a Norwich/ ajax scarf, exactly the same as we'd bought at carrow bridge, price €5 each.

Anyone who holds onto an Ajax/Norwich scarf in the hope of selling it at a later date, has to be the definition of an optimist!
