I have such a scarf already, a gift from the league cup game this season. Used to like Leeds until I came to my senses in the early 70s.
I'm a minority though, almost certainly no point in making them. No money in it.

But again it is not quite so simple. County fans like everyone else have disposable income. It may well be the case that even if say £500's worth of these scarves were sold, that County fans would have spent some or all of that money on County related merchandise in any event.
Then you need to consider the cost. Not just the cost of production but also the cost in time and effort for the club in making the scarves available. We can see on another thread that Colin Jones has earned 48 Australian dollars through his efforts. However had he stacked shelves in his local supermarket and donated the proceeds of his labours to the club the hours of toil spent may well have produced more. Economists call this opportunity cost, by the way.
Quite right Stan, but then I would be doing work for the club rather than launching a new business that is trending to a 700,000 turnover in 2017, a. business opportunity which I offered to work with the board to replicate in the UK, on a profit share basis but which it appears there is no interest in.
Now a club of Newport County's size can't do anything near the analysis that is required. The best they can do is ring around other clubs and ask for their experience and also to look at our experience with the Blackburn game.
Lest you think I am writing this because of a fetish about scarves let me set your minds at ease. I am merely pointing out just how many different and difficult decisions need to be made in order to decide such a simple issue. And to point out why having a competent and accountable commercial manager is so vital.
Re: Half n half scarves ....
18They actually deconstruct them and use the materials to weave other scarves. Which is why the cost never drops under a fiver...mad norm wrote:Sew them together and make beach towelsGeorge Street-Bridge wrote:One problem is that any stock you are left with has minimal value.
Re: Half n half scarves ....

Re: Half n half scarves ....
28As of yesterday I've realised their main use - for visiting supporters in home areas, knotted appropriately. Group of Leeds supporters near us in the Bisley, most wearing them. They behaved. The County part included the word "Gwent" !!!
