Nope

 

[GreersElbow]

I find them cringey, whilst I don't want a violent atmosphere I don't want a clappy happy "Aren't you a bunch of nice supporters". Tension breeds atmosphere and atmosphere adds to the experience.

50/50 scarves empitomise the clappy happy culture that has been creeping in.

Burn them, burn them all.

Nope. There is NO possible justification for a half-and-half scarf.

I have EVERY single Albion HALF/Half ever made, I might SELL them on Ebay and make a FORTUNE

Err ... I think one or two might have missed the point of the joke. Oh well ...

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Err ... I think one or two might have missed the point of the joke. Oh well ...

I see what it says.

I don't think anyone were missing the 'point' of the 'joke'. More commenting on the subject of the article. 50/50 scarves...

I can sort of understand them for younger fans for something like a cup final as a memory of the day, but other than that, no point in them.

 

[beorhthelm]

as proud owner of a half and half scarf as a momento of the BHA v Cheaterfield title clash, i can see they are justified for such games in our history. there's nothing happy clappy about having them as a memorabilia.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Wouldn't happen in Germany

I would sooner be a full kit wanker than wear a half and half scarf.

As if this is a joking matter...

They are OK for kids' souvenirs surely, but yes they have to grow out of it

 

[goldstone68]

I have noticed people still wearing 50/50 scarves at the last home game, why?.
I can understand wearing them for the actual event they were made for, but surely after that, they are redundant and for hanging on walls.

Nope. There is NO possible justification for a half-and-half scarf.

Actually, there is a justification.

Some people are mug enough to buy them

"Travellers and immigrants". Hmmmm

Terrible things, mind

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

To be honest IF the Albion ever played a competitive game in Europe (and itll be some side from Albania or something) then I probably would as a souvenir.

Also lets not forget I own a half half scarf. Brighton AND Hove Albion.

Remember the third/two thirds beanie hats in the north stand in late 80s BHA with Celtic or Rangers panel depending on allegiance
