Maybe when they fill the corners they can install little exercise bike seats, then you can keep warm whilst keeping fit at the same time. It's a win win suggestion and much more practical than issuing blankets.

The exercise bikes is a good idea, but you'll always get some idiot who stands on the pedals and spoils somebody else's view! Those who choose to leave early, take note!

I think this could catch on, now that the Indian summer which lulled us into a false sense of security at the Brit, has finally gone. Colin is correct, the cold snap is upon us. As other posters have noted, the cost would have to be higher to cover washing (they don't need ironing) and the ever present "admin fee". I'd say about £2. Many I think do not like the idea as it is quite macho to go to the match in just shirtsleeves despite it going minus 5 with a wind chill factor of minus 6. For those concerned with their image, there could be slits in the top to enable the blankets to be worn as ponchos like Clint Eastwood

What we really need is the club shop selling replica Pottermus costumes for ice station Britannia!

It is all about marketing and perception. Who would have thought 4 years ago that outside pyjamas would catch on in the way that WANZIES have, as pictured earlier in the thread. By calling them WANZIES, they immediately sound cool, and urban, almost Japanese, conjuring up images of Ninjas and Yakuzas. When, in reality, WANZIES are basically baby grows for grown men. Who may or may not have just pooed themselves.
Same with SNOUDES - rebranded neck warmers for Manchester city fans.
So YES to blankets, or padded costumes - they just need a new streetwise name

Don't get me started on players/fans who wear those stupid woollen hand shoes...GLOOOVES I think they're called.
And the least said about BALALAIKAS the better.

Blankets (or ponchos) would also offer extra protection against catching germs from the other supporters, stewards and occasional 'away fan' that somehow seems to get in the ground. One hears so much on the radio these days about airborne viruses such as eabowler which are always on the on the prowl at mass events. On our place we have been advised to stop shaking hands in the morning. Yet At one match last season I was hugged and generally handshaked and backslapped to within an inch of my life - I gather we had scored a goal against manchester United or some such. I mean, would you get that walking down the street, I ask you.
