Was it just me, or did anyone else notice a significant drop in the amount of orange being worn today?

Anything to do with the fact that it wasn't given out free before the game?

There's your answer. There was less today, although still a substantial body of orangeness but a lot of people didn't bring their hats with them - having had over 3000 available for the Wycombe game, we'd foolishly assumed that would be more than enough to cover both games, but didn't anticipate the sheer scale of the demand on Boxing Day, so only had a few hundred left today (which went within minutes). There was no way, with only three working days between the two games, we could have restocked and in any case, we've cleaned out at least one major supplier. Apparently in normal circumstances they reckon having 2000 bright orange beanies and 2500 orange baseball caps in stock is usually more than enough to see them through!

But then having given out over 4000 hats in the first two games, we are slightly relying on people to keep on bringing them back, and bring their own orange stuff as well, so the thing keeps growing.

One thing I did notice a lot of today was people wearing non-hat orange things, e.g. t-shirts, little ribbons etc which I think a lot of people who just think the hats look damn silly are choosing to do. Which is great, Rob's whole idea was that people would find their own ways of expressing it, but clearly isn't as visible when you look across the stands as the bright orange beanies. So I'd guess there's a lot more orange out there than it looks like (if you see what I mean). But even on a slightly less visual showing than the Wycombe game, there's still many times more people wearing orange whether hats, t-shirts, ribbons ties or what have you than we dared hope for at this stage.

So, keep on going, keep wearing orange and Yeovil, just tie your hat to your wrist on the morning of the game, that way you won't forget it!

Can she run up about 3000 pairs in time for the Wrexham game? We'll buy her a set of Pro-grade Turbo needles.

kids had them on mostly who clearly know fuck all about why they are worn.toddlers,kids,and that dont make the right impression at all imo.
i asked a group of lads(about 15-16) at a garage sat on the wall after the game why they were wearing them and they said "dunno just got given them"
i fully support the orange campaign but think it aint working and is becoming a joke!
they are handed out to people that have no idea about what is going on!

Happy new year (i'm often premature!) i still maintain that non violent action is the way forward but silent protest... i'm runing out of time for...a top effort but our local pres are truly cockless, ball lesss and devoid of any love for the club, i think our protsts need to be made loud and proud next home game.. WE SHOULD NOT BE DRAWING AT HOME TO NOTTS FUCKING COUNTY IN DIV FUCKING FOUR
