    Red Parsley: Why do people hate 'half and half' scarfs so much? Not everyone can go to every game, week after week. For some of us, it's a rare treat and a half and half scarf is a great souvenir in addition to or alternative to a programme.

    Good to hear the other side of the argument, Red
