[Albion] Scarfs for the Ajax game

[ozzygull]

I like the suggestion. It's simple and could help generate a good atmosphere.

My only reservation is that (and I believe there may have been a thread on this), the whole environment for the Athens game felt very different to the norm. Whether that was felt by the players and had any bearing or not, I don't know.

I would kind of like to see the Ajax match have as minimal change as possible. I genuinely feel that the stands will be buzzing anyway, given the importance without the need for scarfs or flags etc.

We've got our first home and away Euro match under our belts now. Perhaps just take it back to basics and make some noise without any gimmicks

My hope is that with scarfs/scarves the Ajax game would just be the start, it would be something that could be done every home game, when Sussex by the sea is played.

And they were competing with each other!

True but it generated the best atmosphere at a game I've ever been to.

It was indeed very very loud.

 

[heathgate]

if the thread was titled bring a scarf to waive furiously in memory of the great Gerry Ryan.............might gain some traction
scarves much better than tin pot panty flags

That will fly....

The twirling of scarves looks fantastic when the whole staduim does it, hardly ever see it in England anymore.

How about everyone makes a tin foil UEFA cup. All 30,000 could be judged for a Blue Peter badge.

Love a tin foil cup

Can you imagine the cheap material they would use. Probably end up with a rash.

“Honestly darling, I know I’ve been to Amsterdam for a few days, but this rash was definitely caused by a cheaply made scarf…”

Round your neck?!

Round your neck?!

It is Amsterdam…,,

It is Amsterdam…,,

Except this thread is about the home game, no?

Unfortunately the club have adopted this idea and asking everyone to bring a scarf to the game on Thursday.

If Ajax having sacked their manager wasn't enough, the scarf idea nails on a home defeat.

Great news! I can bring my Albion/Liverpool half'n'half scarf

A whole set of these on each seat would be great.

Weren’t the AEK match flags more eco friendly?

They only obliterate marine ecosystems for 10,000 years.

They were shite, paper pole that disintegrated in the wet and basically mine went all floppy
I am in favour of blue and white sparklers for everyone, imagine 29 thousand sparklers waving in unison.

What a pity the first response on here after the confirmation of this idea by the club has to be a negative one.
Well done @ozzygull for trying to help our great club and i for one will be contributing 100% rather than being a moaning minnie.
I fully believe this will have an impact but only if people are willing to commit and get behind it.

 

[Eeyore]

What about clackers ?

 

[Insel affe]

That is not cricket you know, I think you should take your Albion/Liverpool scarf and your Albion/City scarf cut them both in half and sow them back together so you can bring your Liverpool/City scarf.

 

[Sussax]

I think it’s a great idea and glad it’s being implemented.

If the East Standers can put their truffles down for a moment or two it’ll be grand to see every part of the stadium in sync

Wow! I have just seen that on the club website, that is great. Don't worry about moaning minnies, there will always be someone that does like it. I don't understand how holding up a scarf can have a negative impact.
