Bring a scarf 5th Feb (2 Viewers)

Snozzer · Jan 29, 2013

I was hoping that not only would it be a great spectacle and good fun to be part of but that it would also encourage the stay away or new fans to either give it a go again or to start to want to regularly come. I'd also like to see it become something we are known for. To bring colour, identity and passion and a symbol of our club to games is surely a positive thing?

Diehard Si · Jan 29, 2013

Why don't we all burst into a song of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' while we do it?

Only kidding, is a good idea though. I'll have to search mine out tonight, no idea where it is since I moved house 5 years ago! I've got the old one from our days with the flicked paint effect and yellow on the back. So it's quite fitting really.

Got to be honest I very rarely wear colours, however I do have a few scarfs knocking around which I will dig out, some of the people I'm coming up with have been asking if I have any spares!

Snozzer · Jan 29, 2013

I never wear colours either but just think a scarf is a bit retro and something most of us might already have. Remember nobody needs to do this, it was just an idea that I've had for a while that I thought might suit the occasion. If its not your cup of tea then don't bother, support the club whichever way suits you.

I didn't take into account prices dropping halfway through the season, my bad. Eitherway the point still stands; of course the club are going to support something which gives them a chance to take money from it's fans.

Clubs need to make hay while the sun shines, may as well take advantage of the 20,000 part timers !

Steve.B50 · Jan 29, 2013

Am sure CJ will be selling scarves on the night.
Normally stands near Jimmy Hills statue selling the fanzine magazine, nearly always wearing shorts

PS not the CJ from on this frum

Baginton · Jan 29, 2013

The scarves just got a mention on CWR, how do they know, is it from here or somewhere else ?

Steve.B50 · Jan 29, 2013

This is the only place they get any real news or gossip

ccfchandsy · Jan 29, 2013

Can't see why people aren't getting excited about this game it's a great chance to see our beloved sky blues in a final at wembley how can any true sky blue fan not be looking forward to that !!!!!!!!!
I just don't get it
Ill have my scarf with me along with the song where were you when we were shit lol

Steve.B50 · Jan 29, 2013

With you ccfchandsy.
Lets all enjoy the experience.
The feeling around this City in 1987 was amazing and I for one want that feeling again.
Ok so it's not the FA Cup but its a trophy.
Am 50 and proud of being a Coventry kid.

Absolutely mate I'm loving being proud of our team again I can just about remember 87 I was 7yrs old
Also the 5th is my bday too so I'm hoping for a big win too

SingersCorner · Jan 29, 2013

Dan Walker has now supported the idea on the ccfc website - need to keep pressing forward for publicity though!

Cov87 · Jan 29, 2013

I also think it would be good if we have on the 87th minute a clap as we are so close to there again.

sw88 · Jan 29, 2013

My old mans got a scarf my nan had for our Wembley victory! Think ill take that one! He can't make the game so will be nice to have it make an appearance!

Waldorf · Jan 29, 2013

Reasonably long-standing ST holders will have one of those free ones sent out a few years ago. Will that do for us cheapskates?

Any scarf will do

I've got that one, this seasons and also one from last season that i purchased from the shop

Coventry La La La · Jan 30, 2013

Good idea, will be intresting to see if the message has spread, we could also replicate this idea if we get to Wembley. imp:

Snozz_is_god · Jan 30, 2013

I might bring my Willie Carr 1970's scarf with me

oakey · Jan 30, 2013

Call yourself a football fan and don't have a scarf in club colours? Whatever next?
A fan without a scarf is like a fireman without a helmet!

I read this quickly and thought you wrote you were bringing a scarf for your appendage...apologies for thinking you were a deviant!:facepalm:

MusicDating · Feb 3, 2013

Just dug out my old Cov scarf from the loft. Prob hasn't seen daylight for 20 years.

Anyone have any luck getting club/CET behind this campaign?

WestEndAgro · Feb 3, 2013

I have around 12 to choose from, difficult decision retro or current ?

The club haven't really pushed it too hard... can only see this quote.. shame really as I thought a few words from MR could have been a catalyst.

We have never been a club who hold scarves aloft as one but the thought of 30000+ cov fans together is a fantastic thought . Please though lets not have any rendition of "youll never walk alone" that would be too much. One things for certain, it will make a heart warming photo for the papers.

Hmm! strange thought

But I'm renaming it my 'Ian Wallace' scarf because 1/ He'll be there at the Crewe game & 2/ he was there in the 70's at the same time as Willie

Reference 2, You sure? I thought Carr had gone before Wallace joined.

Yea you're right, memory going awol.

Mind you I still had the same scalf, I even took it to the cup final in 87.

Anyone out there got the old scarf with the slogan "wonder of wallace" after the old "wonder of woolies advert.

There are 2 things in life you never throw away a Bible or a CCFC Scarf.

I don't remember the "Wonder of Wallace" scarf, I like to see one.

A mate of mine had it in the old brown colours but it was on some of the home scarves as well.

deanocity3 · Feb 3, 2013

The club's legends bar has my printed silk one which has pictures of players on it.era 1975-76.
All of mine were on show at the transport museum a few years back at a exhibition on disabled transport,they made a highfield road set with the old sky blue disabled cars from 1960's and 70's they put my scarves round cardboard cut outs of fans that they made.
Some pics of it on the net somewhere

speedie87 · Feb 3, 2013

I think it would be good if they could play the old school version of the sky blue song, (dodgy organ one) and we could do the scarf thing and sing the sky blue song to that.

Snozz_is_god · Feb 3, 2013

Be careful on Tuesday with your scarfs. If we score an early goal, too much que sera seraring, might cause RSI
