I was thinking last night after a few glasses of white wine , we need something unique to get the atmosphere going down at Deepdale and i thought why dont we adopt the Italian style of swirling scarves around in the air whilst singing a popular song ( Ring of fire ?? )

I know its hardly new, but scarves seem to have died a bit of a death in this country and if it caught on, it would look great especially at away matches when all the support would be condensed together.

We could nominate a " Scarf Day " to start it all off and the club could help by selling scarves in the club shop at a very competitive price ( £ 4 ) .

I dont see any other teams doing it in the championship, so why not give it a whirl and try something different ?!!

It would brilliant on the telly if we could get it right..

Im sure i will be totally ridiculed for this suggestion, but i am only thinking of new ways to whip up the atmosphere when the promotion push is hopefully in full swing early next year .
 
Re: Scarves.......

Good idea. During the one minute silence last Saturday, I saw the Newcastle fans holding up their scarves. It looked great.

I saw that and thought exactly the same too. I think they looked good moreso because they were virtually all the same though...from what I could see. They were all just black and white striped horitzontally if you know what I mean. We have that many different styles of scarves they should just bring out a new one for doing this to make it look even better. Just plain blue and white horizontal stripes will do 😀

I've taken one particular scarf to every match I've been to since the playoff final against West Ham...bought it at Cardiff, not an official PNE scarf but is one of my favourites.

Standing on the town end holding scarves and singing looks awesome when its seen at Liverpool on there Kop, But swirling would i think irritate whoevers sat behind you especially if your only of a small stature.... just a thought.
 
Re: Scarves.......

Newcastle have developed a thing about wearing massive scarfs in recent weeks - saw it at Man City - looked pretty special - GREAT IDEA.
 
Re: Scarves.......

Scarf idea is good - but as said there are lots of different versions. I've also got a favourite bought at the Bolton playoff final ( Lilywhites - more blue than white?)

But it reminded me of about 35 years ago - had just started going out with the girl who is now my missus of 33 years. She's a Kent girl. I told her all about my beloved PNE. She said would knit me a scarf!! I said "alternate blue andwhite stripes " - was sort of ok!! Blue and white "stripes" - but more like "panels" - about 5 or 6 inches wide................ but the blooming scarf was about 12 feet long!!! went roundthe neck 3 times -twice round my waist ............andstill dragged on the ground!! ( when did North End socks stop being the blue and white hoops?? Or am I imagining things?!! )

I think those were provided by the club though so this probably wont happen unless North End give em to us.
 
Re: Scarves.......

Its been tried a couple of times before, sheff wed away, even going back to everton away. But its a waste of time having a scarf 'day' the only way to get it going (without newcastle-esque donations from the club!) is to simply do it every game and try to get an interest/following going and allowing it to grow from there.
 
Re: Scarves.......

When it gets a bit colder ill get my massive scarf out, the club were selling 14ft ones years ago so I figured I would have to get one. It is a little large to be practical though.
 
Re: Scarves.......

I always do that, keep my scarf tied to my wrist not on my neck when at football. That`s how I`ve been taught when young, that`s the way I still do it. But, to be honest, I found the English supporters too calm and quiet and a little bit too interested of what happens on the pitch. Don`t get me wrong, I also want to watch the game and all that, but instead of shouting of how crap the players and teach them what to do from the stands, I`d much rather get a song going and show my support. And yes, It does look great when few thousend people wave all the scarves in the air, even if it is for 2-3 minutes before the game, at half time or any stopages, so it don`t obstuct the view on the "experts"😀
 
Re: Scarves.......

I have always worn my scarves - even on warm days. Scarves were always just plain colours with no writing or logos as my granny couldn't do fancy knitting. This style doesn't seem to be available very often, only with very fussy writing and they're far too short.
I still believe that scarves should be striped (or panels if that is a better description) and my current one is of that old school style with PNEFC in big letters, one on each panel. This gets held high after every PNE goal in the vague belief that it can be read from a distance.

Bring back the popularity of scarves - thats what I say.

Nostalgia aint what it used to be.

When newcastle did it they club gave them all scarves at the ground.
 
Re: Scarves.......

Thanks everyone for the positive response to my original suggestion.

I thought it might have been blown away , but with a bit of effort i think it could work certainly at the start of games !!
