Neil Young Red & Black scarves now available on 6th Jan

[Alex the Blue]

What are they playing at? Was hoping to get ours before the Blackpool game, won't be able to get to the ground again before travelling to Leicester.

Badly thought through, City.

My understanding through communication with the club is the problem is with the supplier. The club wanted the scarves to be available for collection at the Blackpool game and initially that was agreed. I'm told that because of the volume requested (3,000) they can't be produced quickly.

The club want to see how well the scarves go before deciding to produce more after the Leicester game.

It is a pity the scarves are not available now but it is not the club's fault. I'm sure this delay will have an impact on the number of Red & Black scarves to be seen at Leicester. Although the Leicester game is a tribute day for Nelly may I remind all the Neil Young Appeal is an ongoing thing and will not be wound up for several months yet, probably at the end of the season.

No reason why Black & Red scarves cannot be worn for all future games this season. I'll be wearing one if I can get hold of one. The vouchers issued with the tickets can be used after the Leicester game but I'm hoping (or dreaming) that all 3,000 scarves will be on show at Leicester.

With regard to the Blue & White Scarves produced for a previous derby game that was planned well beforehand but kept quiet to prevent the rag end of town knowing anything about it.

simple way to sort it, keep a few hundred behind in the club shop for collection, and take the rest to leicester and distribute them there.

Think it's a bit harsh having a go at the club for this. They tried to respond to fans' whishes and will have had to rely on suppliers making these over the Xmas period. I expect they would have normally got something like this from abroad but won't have had time at short notice.

It would make sense for City to ship them all down to Leicester and have a few City staff handing them out as you go through the turnstiles. Easy

this, 1 of mates was getting mine against blackpool but then the date was changed, i wont be in manchester untill wolves game

My Thanks to AlthamBlue (Dave) for his offer of a voucher. All offers welcome.

I'll email the club and request Mr Mancini wears a red and black scarf. It would be a good advert for the cause and hopefully encourage a quick sell out of the scarves.

a) as Alex said there's been doubts for a month whether they'd be made in time but the club have tried the best they can to manage it.

b) it's up to Mancini whether he wears the scarf or not, it's not automatic just because we're doing it as fans. I wouldn't bother emailing the club about it because I've already spoken to people about it and that's the club line basically...

I've just emailed the club and requested they get Roberto Mancini to wear a Black & Red scarf.

I'm pleased to announce that just over £600-00 has been raised through paypal. Anybody else wishing to donate by paypal to the Neil Young Appeal can do so by logging onto <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcfcfc.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.mcfcfc.com</a>
