Haha. Should put it to a vote. My choice would be Myton Hospice.
Which charity... Higgs?
As I said I'd put some in, wouldn't want profit so all to charity!
So long as not exposing yourself to loss also. Was thinking trust and/or telegraph to make sure the idea gets to the widest audience and for help financing.
Well yeah I probably couldn't afford a full £500 loss but if I put £100 and lost £30 - £40 it wouldn't bankrupt me but I suggest if a few people put the same in, if things don't sell they go on eBay and all money shared out between the people who put money in. There may be a little bit of a loss (hopefully not though).
I haven't done things like this, anybody work in purchasing or do this sort of thing to know how it is best? Also if anybody knows anything about best ways to ship to get it cheaper etc.
I could try and do most of the online stuff, but in terms of selling at away games / home games I couldn't.
Good thinking!A central outlet would be ideal. There must be a city center retailer who supports city and would flog them for us, if only for the media coverage.

I doubt to be honest that if SISU see it it will change a thing, 1 thing it would do is at least get the fans a bit more united!!
You won't have people saying "oh you are happy with this" and the bickering. People who don't want to stand and shout or chant SISU OUT (not because they don't want that, but because it isn't their thing) can just wear a scarf.
I very much doubt it will change much, nothing will but at least it might help the fans stop going at each other and get a bit of respect and raise a bit for a charity!
It is like how when people with moustaches or ride motorbikes have an unsaid respect or just a nod
JImbo from T&S has sorted a few on ocassion for cup games etc ,cost him a few in royalties ,copyright etc but has the contacts and costs .

Are there any charities losing out because of the move?
You could just not attend sixfields and save yourself a scarf, I think that protest would send a bit of a better message than waving scarfs...
"yoohoo"...
:facepalm:
Thanks for the input. How about away games?
A scarf isn't really a decent tool for a protest considering, well it's a scarf... many football fans use them, hardly unique and obvious is it.

Seemed good enough for Man U
Aren't we on TV quite early on in the season? If all our fans had red and green scarfs rather than sky blue I would have thought it would be noticeable.

And I'm sorry, but this is typical of some Coventry fans. It's a decent idea, would get attention and recognition with some money going to charity and some want to shoot it down before it's had a chance.
They don't really need the publicity for it, they already get it considering they're one of the biggest clubs in the world..
So no opinions are allowed against the Op's idea....
Who's shooting who anyway?
But they did choose the humble scarf to make their point. Why the negativity?
Of course. Bit manipulative that. It's a negative opinion. Did you expect clinking glasses and back slapping?
Yep, Red and Green would work.

They aren't too expensive in bulk.
It's not negativity, it's a difference of opinion.
Following from another thread, would anybody get one of these? I have shamelessly stolen the idea from somebody on here a few months ago and Man Utd.
People keep saying they want people inside Sixfields to protest and some people just aren't the type to want to shout and sing but how easy is it to just wear a scarf? Just get a scarf, put it on (Sixfields is freezing anyway in the winter) and you can show you don't agree.
Away games people can have them, on the Hill people can probably have more than 1 as they will need them to stay warm. Anybody can have one, even if you see somebody on the bus wearing one you can feel a bit of unity about things with them. You can also get the mini versions you can stick in your car with the suckers.
To keep costs down they don't have to be fancy, just something like this:
They could be ordered in bulk and profits going to a Coventry charity.
I am happy to help with an online way for people to order them and contact wholesalers to get the best price (Although I am sure people have better contacts already). Obviously you can have text and logos on them but then the prices start to shoot up.
If they can be made and got for say $2 each, sell them at a fiver and it gives a local charity a boost too.
Good idea but maybe something on them to make them stand out from just a normal ccfc scarf.
Nothing major .........
What is your opinion? Is it a poor idea?
I think its a great idea and I would wear one. But shouldn't this have happened six months ago? Something could well happen after 7th August (ever the optimist) and we'll be lumbered with hundreds of scarves!
