    Has he got a point ? Really don't think sorting out scarfs will do anything at all to solve the problem. Just a waste of time and money IMO

    was feeling a bit depressed that I'd already bought Hull tickets but then remembered I've also bought three black and white scarves and feel quite chipper now. Bring on the fight for our club. 'Ain't seen nothing yet....b.b.b baby, you just ain't seen nothing yet!'

    What's he suggesting though?

    I agree that in isolation, wearing a black and white scarf isn't much of a statement. However, when you see many people with them you begin to come to the realisation that there's no way of hiding from current sentiment - most Charlton fans are currently pissed off, and they're now standing together - united against a common enemy.

    The scarves represent fans standing up and actively sharing an urge for doing something to regain the club they love. Be it producing videos and photographs, writing articles, sharing news stories, ringing in radio shows or doing their own investigative bits: these seemingly individual and isolated actions are now under one umbrella, and to me that umbrella is best represented by the scarf.

    Much like a black and white photograph they also represent history. A history that the Regime doesn't understand or care about; but a history that can't be taken away from us, a history that can't be ignored and a history that should make the club proud. A history that even possesses a few brilliant times that maybe we could return to.

    My only issue would be that the time for spelling it out in black and white is long gone; Katrien openly mocked that with her presentation.

    All that bollocks aside though, I was feckin' cold at the Forest match and I need a new scarf.

    I reckon at least 10% of the home fans will be wearing black and white scarves at the Blackburn game. 5 times the number of fans KM said took part in the first protest.

    Dansk_Red.....that can't be right as there are only 2% protesting ;0)

    Is there a way to have a scarf posted to an address in Surrey? Is there someone I should inbox about this? I am in Canada, but have family in the UK, and could arrange for some payment and an address to post to, if it is possible.

    If people want scarves prior to the game then inbox @addickted2thereds or me but bear in mind he works and we don't have the resources to run a postal commerce service

    Couple of things to point out. We're grateful for all the suggestions but:

    We are NOT selling scarves although donations and postage are welcome if you are sent a free one or two.

    We WON'T be making a bucket collection. Again donations are more than welcome but there are strict rules about collections and permissions need to be sought. We are under enough scrutiny already so have to be careful.

    We appreciate all the ideas, and offer of help and money, so I hope people will understand when we can't implement all of them.

    Can I suggest people who pick up a scarf simply make a donation to the protest fund for it?

    please do.

    If people inbox me i'll give them payment details for the protest fund and they can give me their address.

    I'm picking up a few of the 750 tomorrow so please get in touch everyone if you want one posted out in time for Blackburn

    I've got about 18 scarves in the house which are being snapped up fast so if you want some....

    IN-BOX ME

    I won't have time to get to the post office after tomorrow so don't hang around.

    Payments to the Protest fund or cash if collecting.

    Can these be given out after the game at the protest instead of before the match- would lol so much better if the majority of protesters are waving a scarf rather than them all dotted about in the crowd during the match

    Mr Irvine - are the b&w scarves you are posting out from the same 750 pot or in addition? If the former then your headline post needs to be amended ;0)
    Good luck.

    I'm not at liberty to give you an answer to that. We have made our statement and I refuse to add to it. You will have to assume and/or read between the lines : - )

    As one of the protesters (and has own b&w scarf)I should be entitled to have a clear and unambiguous response to what I believe is a straight forward question. Surely that's not too much to ask? ;0)

    Ok then, yes they are part of the 750 so the headline needs adjusting

    Just a reminder that the scarves will be given away free from 2.20 from outside the club shop before the Blackburn game.

    And just to say

    We are fully aware that wearing a scarf on it's own will not bring the regime down.

    Wearing black and white is a way for fans to show that they are unhappy.

    It's a visual demonstration to the regime and to other fans of where fans stand and what they want.

    It's something anyone can join in with. It's not preventing people protesting in other ways. It's a part of the protest but the be all or end all

    There is a lot more planned for Saturday and beyond so wear a scarf if you want to, don't if you don't.

    I am getting black t shirts printed for me and @Idle_Hans_Jr for next week with the text (in white, obviously)
    JE SUIS CHARLTON.

    We will 'buy' scarves too.

    Wonder if the club shop will print 2% on the back of official shirts ;-)

    There were plenty of B&W scarves at Hull and well needed too as it was bloody cold. I bought my own online as I don't attend home games often so didn't expect to be able to pick up one from you guys. I did contribute to the fund however so hoping some others will wear the scarves I contributed to, with the same passion as we did yesterday. Great work everyone that is in the Coalition, fight, protest, whatever you want to call it. Lets bring the regime to it's knees.
