Hats at Wycombe game

[Sheffield Red]

Where will be the best place to get hold of Orange Hats before the Wycombe game ? Will they be handed out outside the ground (or as close to the ground as possible that does not come under the jurisdiction of the Newbury Fashion Police)?

We got there too late to get them at the Rovers game and might not get to the ground until 2.30 again on Boxing Day.

Sheffield is the 5th biggest City in the country but try finding an Orange Winter Hat anywhere within it's boundaries. I have tried the high street shops, cheap warehouse clothing stores, scabby market stalls, and army stores. Even tried the Early Learning Centre in the hope that there might be a demand for bright Orange Hats for toddlers with large heads. Was definitely clutching at straws when tried the Orange Mobile Phone Shop.

Have just reached normal body temperature again after Macclesfield yesterday. Merry Christmas to one and all.

Actually, on this note, I will be wanting an orange hat for the Notts County game.

I have a gold Newport County top that I can wear, but I was wanting to wear my Town shirt and maybe get an orange hat.

Are they being given out somewhere? Just tell me where I need to be and at what time.

I thank you. And all that merry xmas guff to you all.

If it's anything like the Rovers game, there'll be Orange troops all around the ground handing out hats and leaflets. Mainly near the NW/Club shop end (for maximum impact - the board get a good view of the NW from their comfy seats).

Or you could always try the trust office.

[Simon Pieman]

We're walking in an Orange Wonderland.

I dont mind this 'protest' going on...everyone is entitled to their opinion, BUT think the giving away of hats is a bit funny. I mean the idea of a protest is getting a group of people together who believe the same thing and protesting against something but by giving the hats away especially the wolly ones on a cold day for free...pretty sure it scewes (sp?!) the numbers some what. Hence why i believe most of the people wearing orange today didnt actually 100% support the campaign for what its meant to be their for. I mean if your giving things away for free nobody is really going to say no, more likely to say oh yeh please thanks very much - especially if they hav children (something for them to have and amuse them) and wolly hats on a cold day, once again people are going to want one not necessarily because of the protest but because of the cold.

Personally dont think hats should be given away as it makes people look as if they are resembling a protest when some arent. So adds numbers to the protest by default really

Fair point but do you support the board (current board?). Why do you buy your ticket if you do?


It's all swings and roundabouts and even if you support the team but not the board, you are inadvertedly supporting the board by buying tickets
