Online Exclusive “We Love You� Scarf

[kylestyle06]

I think a lot of you are going way over the top. It's a scarf, probably aimed at kids. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

I guess because we are winning then you've had to find something else to have a moan about. Some people lead very sad lives.

What are you talking about? I'd moan about the way modern football , including our own is going no matter what division and how well we're playing. It'll be even worse when we get in the premiership.

It's sad to think you've never experienced the days of filbert street, and how football should be.

I guess you're just getting sucked in by the tycoons that rule us in the stadium...

It's a sad state of affairs

Can easily have a normal scarf, maybe with just "We Love You" But lyrics? Cringe

Sorry Watto but I think Kichandro has got it absolutely spot on. It's not moaning to point out the obvious is it ? Take yesterday for instance a chance to go top of the league which was duly delivered in glorious weather, playing exciting football and what did we get 22,000 and a piss poor atmosphere.

Only a few years ago we would have had at least 30.000 and the stadium would have been rocking in the same circumstance, so clearly something is wrong. The most obvious is the pricing. Being forced to pay Premiership prices to see the likes of Bristol city etc is going to lose a hell of a lot of support simply because people cannot afford it , and once people get used to not going it is hard to get them back because they find other things to spend their hard earned money on.

That idiot Jack Walker at Blackburn started the rot by throwing silly money around and actually managed to buy the league. Our owners are just one of many who came into the game for financial gain or to promote their own brands , they know the price of everything and the value of nothing. So it's no surprise that people are turning their collective back on the club that was once so much a big part of our lives. The bubble has burst but but it seems they haven't noticed.

Does it hurt to know we sing your song better than you? Nothing like being bitter is there

a) It's not their song, it's St Pauli's.

b) We definitely don't.

[lcfc"weasel"]

I just don't understand why it is you who are making a scarf out of it, odd.

Neither do we, as a Palace fan you surely realise that the club do things that the fans don't like, in general.

Why are you even here though?

I've long been a voice in complaints about the club alienating 18 to 30 year old fans but come on this has nothing to do with that or any other tradition you might want to suggest.

How much has or does a scarf with the lyrics of a song on that the fans initiated have on all of that. No ones denying the affects of the modern marketing machine and money making owners on the traditions of football but to go ape over this scarf is silly.

People have suggested a scarf with WYS on well when we see fans from all sides of the ground singing that maybe they will, the club, in this instance are following a trend not creating it.

So lyrics on are scarf are naff and goes against the tradition of the club, a club that sold Fox Leisure after shave and slippers 20 years ago, many of today's fans weren't even born then so to them that would be part of the tradition they see and we currently sell an LCFC dressing gown for adults FFS.

Traditionally club shops didn't exist and no one wore a replica shirt in my youth does this mean that they are watering down traditions in the the pursuit of financial gains and to promote their own brands? .

This is a total storm in a teacup (LCFC Mug)

[flowwolf]

I think the point being made was not just about a scarf but that it is symptomatic of all that is wrong in today's football . Just a good example to let us have a say or moan on here that's all.

The point I was making was about a scarf. YES there are a lot of things wrong with football but being that offended by a scarf really does seem a tad pathetic. You then go on about how there was only 22,000 there yesterday and pricing, what does this have to do with a scarf? Seems you have other problems and are using the 'scarf debacle' as a smokescreen.

How am I getting sucked in? I would never buy it but if a kid wants it and it helps him to learn the words and then sing along during a game, how is this a bad thing? You sound like the sort of person that would never be happy until they bring back standing, rattles and rosettes. You're living in the past. It's the 21st Century, we may not like it but time's have changed. A scarfs a scarf, get over it.

Thanks to the mentality of the club the kids are involved, but at the expense of people without kids.

As has been said before, what about when these kids get older?

Mentality of the club what on earth are u going on about, expense of people without kids? Just don't buy one? We're not paying for a scarf they've just bought out because we're doing well it's just a touch from the club to get the crowd involved with jobber beat at the KP. What is ur point?

The point you keep missing is that this song is fan led, the club didn't introduce it, what about when the kids get older, well the song will probably have died a death and been long forgotten by then.

The whole mentality of the club - the obsession with families and kids. It's short-termism, when these kids grow up the stuff they think is fun now they no longer will, they'll start thinking like those people who have been driven away because of this 'family club' thing. All of a sudden it will be they who can't afford it, are bored with the happy-clappy atmosphere and realise as a young adult all this stuff isn't dignified. And worse, they won't know what the club used to be and what it's fans culture was. Again, this is not all the fault of our club but they're contributing.

Yes the fans thought of the song, but I don't see what that's got to do with my point. They're using a fad to define the image of the club and printing it as our identity, all because it's currently popular and will sell a bit. Are they going to print the lyrics of every song we sing onto a scarf - the ones with swearing in, the hateful ones, the pisstake ones sung as a one off against certain opposition? Of course not, the fans may have thought of he song but that doesn't mean we want that particular song it to identify us.

Its a business they do what they can to make money, people seem blind to this.

There's no reason why the can't do both they're not mutually exclusive the fact that they 'choose' to alienate young men has no correlation to how they treat kids, they need to attract both.

Are you suggesting they shouldn't have a shop because i would imagine a very large % of sales are to kids.

I really don't see why this scarf in particular has put such a bee in your LCFC bonnet, sure it's another piece of junk that the fans can buy but it's not the first and wont be the last.

Those other songs you mention don't require the need for a scarf.

It's ur opinion but I honestly think u are thinking too much in to this:/ we have a shirt outside the ground saying we hate forest, it's only to make money. It's not just out club that allows a family experience...They've only made a scarf because for this one chant the whole ground is swinging scarfs and its a chance to give the kids something to enjoy and know the words to a song, I can't be bothered to go through all the negatives to a price of cotton sorry:/ my little cousin loved what my grandad bought him and he will be part of the leics tradition when he grows up as will other kids matey,. We're all foxes these r only youngsters wearing a scarf it'll die down eventually anyway
