The only legitimate use for a half and half scarf is as a makeshift noose for anyone who wants to wear one.

I'm hoping I'll want to buy one afterwards as a lasting memento of a glorious day.

Here's a thought. Maybe we're selling them as something for our ticketly-disappointed masses to wear 'incognito' in the east end of the ground...

We have too many fans for our ground, this should be used to thin the numbers a bit. Anyone who buys one gets banned from Villa Park.

God forbid that the Villa should sell something that people want to buy.

Why not go the whole hog then and start selling Liverpool and Man U merchandise for when they come to town?



Might it have something to do with the fact that Manchester City aren't coming to town and we're playing then in a cup final?

Nothing wrong with selling a Villa Cup Final scarf. I see no need to mention the opposition.

Did they sell half and half scarves with Fulham or Derby on them? I doubt it. Makes us look like a small-time bunch of daytrippers.

Pretty sure we did them for the Arsenal final. I can't stand half and half scarves but there's obviously some that do so it seems logical that it's the club that takes their money rather than those selling outside the ground.

When I was a nipper, I'd hoover up anything to do with a game. Kids today won't be any different.

If it said mentioned Aston Villa and the League Cup Final, it would still be about the game, wouldn't it?

I'm pretty sure 13 year old me would have wanted nothing to do with a half Villa/half Man U scarf for the 94 Final.

They did.  And for the semi against Liverpool.

And there's plenty that would have. Isn't it better that it's the club that gets the money for them rather than the sellers outside the ground?

Yeah I posted pics of them after seeing them in the shop in town. Doing semi final scarves was a bit small time. But again, I suppose as there's people that like them the club may as well have their money.
Personally I think they should illegal and anyone buying one sent to Siberia.

Mind you, if they were in Siberia they'd just buy half and half scarves of the splendidly named, FC Tom Tomsk.

Presumably in Siberia fussiness over scarves isn't that much of a thing.

Half and half scarves, with the big question being, is CD brave enough to click the link?
