These Riverside scarves-what's the point.....

Tue Mar 23, 2010 1:19 pm

that people who wear them are trying to make? If it's a form of people showing solidarity, can someone explain solidarity for what, is it just the expulsion of Ridsdale or is there someyhing else? I can see that supporters have just taken what Man U have done and copied it, but surley Man U were trying to de-stabilise the owners of the club, not a salaried chairman, who can easily be sacked by the board if they so wish. Personally,in my opinion it looks a bit lame and that our supporters have just jumped on another band wagon set in motion by a big, fashionable club. Quite frankly, it's a bit embarressing.

What's embarrasing about it?

It's nice to see people acknowledging the clubs roots.

I think its a nice touch and they looked great the otehr day

people by me where saying " what are those " and I said they are the colours of the original club , its a sort of we will still be here

one of the trust lads was wearing one

they are good quality and are a talking point

are they going to change the world ?...no

but a good idea

It is a great idea. I bought one on Sunday and think more people should.

It shouws the club origanal roots and makes a statement that the fans are not happy.

They stand out well in the stadium and make a good point.

A lot of people asked me on Sunday what were they for and 90% of people liked them. One person hated them but that is another story (Don't argue with women :lol: )

I like the scarves top quality and make a point.

I don't care what they are SUPPOSED to represent. I am gonna get one as it looks great and represents our club at it's earliest inception.

I picked up one up post match on sunday (seconds before they sold out), i think it;s just to show a yearning for a bygone era, when footy clubs were rooted in their community, when you could pop down on the day, pay a couple of quid to stand on the terrace and cheer the chaps on ! they also look nice too !

shut up u idiot, if you dont like it you dont have to join in do you, its up to other supporters to do it or not. personally if u dont want to join in with it you are on PR side, the more fans we get doin it the more under pressure he comes and eventually he will go, will be pickin mine up on weds thats for sure, bring on the riverside scarfs

Re: These Riverside scarves-what's the point.....

Tue Mar 23, 2010 2:44 pm

whats the problem you have any ideas? if u dont like em dont buy one. save your money for a packet of prawn sarnies from asda and munch on them instead of waving a riverside scarf during the game.

Re: These Riverside scarves-what's the point.....

Tue Mar 23, 2010 2:47 pm

Re: These Riverside scarves-what's the point.....

Tue Mar 23, 2010 2:53 pm

its to show the fans are not happy on how the club is bein run, just like man utd did a couple of weeks ago, this is a great idea as when i was lookin around the stadium the other day it was nice seein all the scarves lighten the place up a bit
