Thanks to the protest fund we have some more black and white scarves to give out.

They have proved a great success so far with fans seeing them as an easy but effective way to show they are behind the protests.

Why 429?

Well it seems we've caused a world wide shortage of black and white scarves and George Osborne is about to cite Spell it Out as the cause of the economic boom.

So 429 is all we could get.

We are giving them away but we are asking those who can afford it to make a donation to the protest fund. As much or as little as you can spare. The scarves cost £2.50 each if you need a benchmark.

We WON'T be outside the club shop this time as the road was blocked with people waiting to pick on up

So it is 2.30 near the big badge on the back of the North stand.

See you, and your donations, there.

    Although I've yet to get my hands on any of these scarves I'm happy to donate my Valley Gold winnings from Saturday to the cause.

    It feels like the right thing to do as I deliberate whether to withdraw from Valley Gold. (I know the merits of VG are covered in other threads).

    Any chance of the scarves being handed out at Rotherham? It's always cold up north!

    That would be good for TV and the media if everyone of the away support at Rotherham had one

    We ordered them today so very unlikely they will be delivered tomorrow (Friday) to enable anyone to take them to Rotherham, sorry.

    If you want to contribute to the cost inbox @curb-it

    I was handing stickers and leaflets out at the Blackburn game and missed a scarf so I have bought one for me and one for Mrs TT via Amazon and delivered to my door for £3.79 each. An option for those unable to get a freebie.

    Keep the donations up though.

    It's a bit off the thread but how about the Protest fund buying some Roland Out Car Stickers. This would spread the word and make the protest more visible.

    Off thread as well but how about a shed load of black and white confetti as an alternative to leaflets being dropped into the directors box? Confetti never hurt anybody as you surely couldn't chuck anybody out of the ground for it and if it's everywhere in the box it would also send a message to everybody there.

    Thesupporters giving out scarves outside the club shop said they could not take donations. Maybe fans could just chuck money in the scarf box?

    What about buckets for the sticker/leaflet givers?

    The easier it is to give the more we will get.

    All went in about 90 seconds.

    Lots of very generous donations made to the protest fund.

    I gave the money to @davo55 so he'll be able to say now much.

    Many thanks to all who donated for scarves/banners today - the total is just under £490. I will pay that into the Protest Fund on Monday morning. The best bit of a pretty miserable day!
