Last night whilst sipping a small cup of brovil from my new flask courtesy of mother at half time I thought of a revolutionary idea. With the cold snap upon us why don't the club hire blankets ( tartan red and white) old cinema style ice cream sellers coming around with blankets instead of lollies. 50p a blanket and users return them after the game to a bin by the exit. Mother says it could go down a storm. Any thoughts.

You trust Stoke fans to return 50p blankets? Well, I admire your faith in human nature, but . . . .
On t'other hand, int it a bit wimpy to have a blanket when it gets a bit nippy? More an old mans thing with a flask, scarf and flat cap, any real mans gonna go bare chested at the footy when the frost sets in!

To be fair, it's a shit idea.
If I wanted to look like a pussy I'd bring my own blanket rather than pay 50p for the privilege.

Mr Waggy,
You are years behind the times. At the inception of TrueSmug IDiot cards tartan blankets and sweet weak tea were de rigueur with the True Supporters. Just ask Old Stokie, Fornside and MCF 
GD
P.S I believe a certain Mr Dave 'Dave' Frith also used to wear them in the privacy of his private Boudoir  |

Anyway, 50p would never be enough to cover the cost of the blankets in addition to replacing torn ones, washing them, folding them and paying staff to do it.

Mother says it could go down a storm. Any thoughts. That could be a good little earner, especially for night and winter games. I reckon you could probably put out maybe 2-3000 a game if the issue is forced and depending on how cold it actually is and how many are in for the said game, 50p a pop with them sort of figures and you're looking a grand a game minimum from maybe October to about March. It Probably would not quite average that over the course of a whole season, but it would put a few quid in the pots and, as they say, every little counts. |

A grand a game which then needs to be used to cover the wages of those responsible for collecting, washing, drying, ironing and preparing them for the next game. Also, the cost of those distributing them prior to the game and the non-personnel costs for water/detergent/heating to wash them and replacing those that are stained or damaged. ...and the initial investment required for buying 2-3k blankets. How many people are really going to rent a blanket? They're bound to get dropped when people stand and irritate those sitting next to you. The club could invest in Electrical heaters but I don't have a clue about how much they cost to buy/run. I expect they could be covered by adding 50p to the price of each game and to benefit everyone. |

How about sing assisted heating. The louder the singing the more the heating gets turned up. Generates noise, keeps everyone warm, and helps inspire the team Everyone's a winner |
