I'm glad its not only me that has an obsession with a beloved scarf!
Mine hasn't been on such a journey yet as yours Jono - only purchased in 2005 at my first live game. But its been to every game I've seen live, had plenty of beer stains, pie stains, tea stains (from tamer matches at home!), and various other things along the way. Some tears of joy in 2012 at my first taste of a Grand Final victory live as well!
When my better half (as she sometimes does!) suggests I should get a new scarf, my response is you don't throw out a dual premiership scarf until it is no longer fit for purpose! It is a bit tatty, has several unremovable stains (even though she has managed to convince me to wash it a couple of times in recent years) but it is an unremovable part of my Swannies story - if it doesn't disintegrate before said time, it'll go with me to my grave
