On the road by Gregor G
Back in the horrible times where football hooligans used to make going to games challenging, it was a rare thing to see bold visual displays of your club colours, apart from on match days. The exception to that was if you supported a wee / diddy team where it was far easier to display you love and emotion for the club.
The wee / diddy teams found it easy to allow you to share your passion for the team the followed and a range of car stickers the said Don’t follow me Follow the ) inset club name or nickname. Of course nobody was daft enough to have a I follow the Bhoys or I follow the Gers car window stickers for fear that a brick might also be following you the next time you parked. On a separate note why is it in the USA the don’t do window stickers and go for bumper stickers? Maybe it just because they have lots of big pick up trucks and SUV’s?
As football emerged from the horrors of hooliganism merchandise and the fear of wearing it dissipated. Thankfully with times have moving on, football supporters embraced the fantastic new revenue stream that the clubs developed . Alongside first team kits Home Shirt, Away Shirt and of course the now obligatory third team shirt it was not only safe to wear the gear with pride but it also become a fashion item for your team.
However, with there being little merchandise for the other love of your life, the motor, aside of the occasional wee hanging scarf or air freshener, fans too matters into their own hands. We have often seen vans , buses and cars following the Tartan Army on adventures abroad but there is less drama on show for club teams. You do get the occasional belter like this Leeds United van that resides in Devon
Most of the fans car activity is more subtle with the use of personalised registration plates allowing you to share the love of your life. We have spotted many a RFC, FFC and CFC plate but there is scope to be even more creative as this JAMBO demonstrated to me recently.
So please do send in the favourite ones you spot!
Happy Motoring
