me n mate queued for 10 mins for pies at half time; soon as we left the queue Belgian came upto us asked us 'what these food please?' Pies Mate came the answer and he promptly paid us £30. for the two.

Half & half scarves? Not my bag but if someone wants to spend money in our club shop then it's thumbs up all the way.
I agree, at the derby I even saw half and half scarves at that game. But hey ho if it's putting money into the club then so be it.

The thing I do resent is the club pricing out modest income earning fans and their place being taken by wealthier 'plastic' fans. We'll lose our soul if we do that.
I once debated v United fans on facebook when they called us the Emptyhad. I said we were sold out and at least we didn't have as many tourists as them and then a guy posted a pic of an Asian bloke with a camera and he had a jacket on saying 'Chelsea' on the back. Now that's too much for me. I have no time for that. That's ammo for the rags :(
Anyway, back to subject, we need to embrace tourists as they will help us raise matchday revenue etc and it's all part of FFP. By refusing such types we simply cut our nose off to spite our face.
