I still think scarves are a decent idea but ran it by a few people and the green and red doesn't seem to immediately grab people. One person suggested a brown retro one! But Nick's get the bit between his teeth so get behind him.

For protests v Cardiff you're on the wrong thread - LAST and BHSB are on the case!

Fair enough.....I was just commenting on the proposed order level of scarves really....

...As for the SKY TV protest....I don't hold out much hope of it being particularly large scale if the organisers aren't going to tell anybody what's going on....

...lets just hope it is more than a handful of people just blowing whistles & NOT letting fireworks off this year eh?

with all due respect....unless several thousand are going to wear them together, its not going to be effective is it?

.....just 100 odd scarfs lost in the crowd (unless all 100 are worn at sixfields I suppose)


Now then...If we're gonna start to resurrect protest ideas from last summer that will still never happen, may I remind everyone of my "mass exodus" idea....

its was poo poo'd last year due to the rather naïve notion of NOPM.....but now that everyone can see that's a load of bollocks, how about it?

Sell sixfields out for a televised game & then all leave after exactly10 mins of loud chanting.....only to be seen moments later by the cameras doing the conga up on the hill...

Again I'd be happy to walk out of a game but others wouldn't so just trying to think of ways everybody could do something.

I'd love to buy a few thousand but don't have the cash lying about

I guess colours could be voted on, as long as they are all the same and United

It's needs something so you know it is a protest scarf and not an ordinary fan scarf

Unfortunately good idea in principle but will never take off and wont make one bit of difference / no one from the outside world will care.

I agree it wouldn't change anything and would be aimed at a bit of fan unity

Sometimes you have to stop been so upbeat. I know people tell you it is good and infectious, but I just wish you would taper it with a bit of realism sometimes.

My original thought was a sky and navy blue bar scarf, thinking sky blue and white was a bit too Man City. Or how about Sky blue and black circa early 1970s Willie Carr and Colin Stein. Haven't seen any of these around so it would be distinctive and still and very much CCFC.

as there is already somebody selling these on eBay for £3.69 as Christmas scarfs would it not be easier to get people to buy them from there by spreading the word saves anyone having to front the money

I like the idea and i'm willing to put in a bit of money to get it going. £30 up front, in return for 4 scarves when they arrive, I don't want the extra money back, just send it to a charity. Myton Hospice is my choice.

OK Have emailed to ask for a couple of samples, will see what they look like and also need to start getting an idea of who is up for it!

Looking at £750 up front to get 250 of them plus delivery.

Brown doesn't really stand out, that's the problem. Red and Green represents the colours of the city of Coventry which surely makes it an obvious choice as a take us home to Coventry protest?

Nick, let's try to get the trust involved to help with finding the money and spreading the word. Do any of the trust board still come on here? Not seen Jan in ages! Anyone have any contacts? Michael maybe?

If it's going to happen how about setting up a pre-order so you can get some money up front?

Anything that unites fans has to be a good idea. If we have any mk like followings this season a couple of thousand held up would make a great protest. Nick I'm happy to contribute to upfront costs.

Funeral colour for the death of our club..

Problem with that is that many would disagree. Red and green for Coventry is more of a catch all as everyone would want us to return to Coventry.

Also, the reason the United scarf protest worked well is that it was such a contrast. Something red and green could do.

I was in a meeting today, they were discussing colours, as you do.

The chair said whatever was decided, half of us would disagree so we'd just have to make a decision and if some of us didn't like it, tough.

Seemed wise words.
