    I would buy a half and half scarf only if we were playing Real Madrid tbf. Why would u want a Wycombe one? League 2 club at best!

    The same Wycombe that were two blocks away by Ramsey to going one up and then parking two buses to have a 50/50 chance of beating Orient at Wembley !

    I predicted before the 1st leg there would be a cigarette paper between the two sides and the 4-0 win at Wycombe was an outlier and that's what happened as they negated/wrestled their way through the two legs.

    The half and half scarfs are for the tourist ground hoppers and this is a market that has grown in the last 20 years by independent Del-boys.

    Lovely Jubbly 😀 

  • Quite a lot of Charlton fans were wearing half-and-half Charlton and Charlton scarves.

    For some who may not go to games very often or kids then it’s just a memento.
    no problem with it.
    Not something I’d want.
    Not as if the club were selling them.

    I assumed it was AI at first then saw them in the flesh. 

    You really can’t trust any evidence these days!

    I was looking at it and thinking I need to cut down on spirits, during the week.

    Don't have an issue with a bloke on a street corner flogging these. Saw quite a few kids wearing them. Maybe a nice little souvenir of the day on their first visit to The Home Of Football (credit Scott Minto) or just an epic night! I did see a geezer wearing a Kevin Lisbie scarf which made me chuckle !

    If you do doubles it sorts it all out in the end, one way or the other.

    That came out after the Liverpool hat-trick.

    Paid a fiver to a street vendor at Old Trafford for my boy at the league cup a couple of years back - a souvenir for him because I couldn't ever see the poor bugger visiting Old Trafford to see us play again in his lifetime, unlike many of those on here would have had that opportunity in the late 80's or under Curbs. 

    Yes they are bit weird, but I also think wearing a replica shirt is weird. Many thousands would disagree and that's fine.

    There is a lot of money to be made with these scarves.
    I was at the Elfsborg v Roma game last season, we won 1-0.  After the game I was in a boozer and there was this English guy talking to a guy next to me.  I got chatting to him, he sold these for a living, he had been in Bratislava for the Man City game two days before.
    He said that he would sell at Arsenal and other London Premier clubs and he could get £30 a scarf off the tourists.  I did not ask how many he gets produced, he had a factory in Poland, but I do know he sold all 200 Elfsborg ones.

    A very quick google found me a wholesaler who make these for £6 a pop if you buy 200, if hes paying that price thats a easy 5 grand banked.. hes probably paying a lot less than that.

    Fair play to him I say.

    Did anyone actually see someone wearing half and half scarves last night? I ask because I walked past the stall selling those in the first picture and thought f*** me they've embarrassed us again. BUT on closer inspection, they weren't half and half scarves at all, they were selling Charlton scarves and Wycombe scarves!

    Or have I been whooshed?

    All day long.
    On this basis, it would have cost him 60 swedish kronor, he was getting 200 swedish per scarf, buying for £5 and selling for £16.
    These are approximate figures of course as you have to factor in exchange rates etc.
    I'd have liked a life like this, buying and selling, travelling around.  There has always been a big market for street stalls before copyright got in the way and clubs took money away from the ordinary working man.
