FA Cup Tat

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

The sale of Man U v Crawley tat has stepped up a gear today, spotted about 10 blokes selling half-and-half scarfs, hats and flags in town on my lunch break. Gave me a chuckle.

£5 a scarf!

there were Man United fans wearing half Man U half Man City scarves last week

Will they beat our flags at Aston Villa? "Brighton - Pride of The England" complete with TWO Lions

The Crawley / Man U ones have been on sale from the week after the draw was made.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Not seen them on sale in Town yet though, literally someone on every street corner today. FA Cup FEVER is beginning to grip Crawley, as the 9,000 LOYAL fans prepare to travel up to roar them on to victory.

I walked through Crawley town centre yesterday lunch time and there were three or four sellers, T-shirts with "The crawley invasion of old trafford" or something like that on it in addition to the obligitory half and half scarves

Can kind of understand the half utd/citeh scarves what with Munich and showing a coming together of Manchester teams.

But I chuckle when I see albion fans wearing those silly vila scarves and as for that flag well f*** me. Some people have even brought them to Withers.

Might as well just sell a Man Utd scarf and CLAIM it's a Half-n-Half one.

Crawley have copied their nickname and badge.

Fair play to them I say, they should milk it.

An insignificant football club based in a very unfashionable town, good to see them get some positive press.

I'm not sure who had the crest first but Crawley have been around longer as a club than Manure.

The very flag was also spotted at Watford (they've dropped the 'the'!)

Either they were on sale again OR the owner loved it so much he kept it from last year!

Brighton - Pride of England

Yep, I was in Crawley on Saturday and these tat traders were all over the shop.

Correct. They were also called "The Red Devils" well before Manure too.

It's a good job that Crawley aren't playing Liverpool then. Their fans would have gone mental at that; and quite rightly I think.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

may I suggest though, those travelling up in cars an coaches show plenty of colours, we dont want yer regular saturday M40 driver thinking them 'chelsea in disguise' are the bigger fishes round here!

Anyone seen any Albion/Stoke half and half scarves yet ? I WANT to wear it on Saturday WITH my Villa/Albion and Wrexham/Albion ones so I can MARCH around like a REAL supporter
