Weller in Tights Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 With scarves now being back in vogue (don't forget to bring your scarf to the Watford game tonight) What about the old silk scarves, remember the days of them tied round the wrist. It tended to be the younger 'Boot Boys' (pre runners to the Baby Squad) that wore them, but they were a must have item. I can even remember a bit of a trend my older brother started amongst a few in pen 4 with a City silk scarf on one wrist and a green Leicestershire silk scarf on the other wrist ( A good few City fans used to go down the cricket on a Sunday for the one day games in the 70's as we had quite a successful team and in those days it was the only place you could drink all day on a Sunday). MORE SCARVES / FLAGS / BANNERS MORE NOISE
davieG Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 I think they were mostly associated with the 'Mods' from the late 60s early 70s and covered a whole dress style.
Zingari Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 You seem to have quite an interest in men wearing silk and tights etc. Do you watch Robin Hood and stuff often ?
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 I have one that is small and says 'Super Leicester' but nobody has them and wears them so tend to bring my other scarf.
jonlcfc1990 Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 I AGREE! More banners more flags more scarves more noise! :scarf: :scarf:
Guest Bilo Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 Silk scarves and European style chants at home being lapped up by all? Is it me or did the Fosse Boys set up a year early?

Guest Bilo Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 And in the wrong part of the ground... In retrospect you're right, because most of the atmosphere at the place happens near the away fans but neither L Block nor N Block were realistic options. I still think the club stamping on N Block in 2007 stopped something special, the away fans being surrounded by singers on either side would have done wonders for the atmosphere.

I still think the club stamping on N Block in 2007 stopped something special, the away fans being surrounded by singers on either side would have done wonders for the atmosphere. I agree it was a great vision to create an atmosphere at that side and start something new. The trouble? when your starting something it's always a minority and the stewards and police love a minority group of people why? so they can swoop in kick it out and stop it growing, This is why young lads around 16 in L block will get thrown out for banter when 400 odd are involved they love singling people out and "setting an example" but the better idea in hindsight is to spread the current feeling first and then watch it grow. In my opinion something is happening now that we have to keep going in one chant we've managed to spread an atmosphere over 4 stands for the first time in a long time and i think we need to keep it running. Family stand is doing it's bit and i'm hoping to see more bums on seats over in that block but you can see the effects of a good home atmosphere happy players happy fans and POINTS
blue army 1988 Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 One of the campest thread titles I have ever seen
Guest Col city fan Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 One of the campest thread titles I have ever seen I'm Free! I think 'Weller in tights' should be 'Weller in Fishnets'!! Yuck.....
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 Still got mine. It has pictures the the second division champions cup all over it.
acooling08 Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 Never seen or heard of a scarf being made of silk. No thank you...

Weller in Tights Posted 14 February 2012 Author Posted 14 February 2012 'blue army 1988' and 'Col city fan' I think you have got the wrong end of the stick with this thread or you are just too young to remember the silk scarves round the wrists. Col City fan, you clearly have some issues!!!! imagining me in fishnets? have a word with yourself. Been trawling the net to try and get a picture of how we use to wear these scarves but found sod all. Dangerous Tiger, how about putting a pic of your old scarf on here Its hard to describe without a pic.
Weller in Tights Posted 14 February 2012 Author Posted 14 February 2012 And sorry forgot to add. They quite clearly were not silk (Bloody expensive). They were cheap nylon things.
1964FOX Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 I will put a photo of my Fosse Boys 'silk' scarf on tomorrow if nobody does one first.
Webbo Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 I remember sticking my silk (nylon really) out of a car window all the way back from Orient when we won the 2nd division. A thread must have got caught on something because by the time we got back it was about 3 inches long.
Houdini Logic Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 For those who don't know what they are, they're akin to those crap pieces of material girls loop through their faux leather primark bags to try and make them look more expensive.
HEGGSY Posted 14 February 2012 Posted 14 February 2012 I've got one somewhere, I'll have to find it,but I don't know how to put a picture up of it if I do
