Looks to me as if the inflatable has let itself down!

Got to laugh at this, stuff this is why people are often put off going to away matches, over zealous stewards waiting for you to fall out of line...

Always been in favour of lengthy prison terms for anybody taking an inflatable to a match. Good to see the authorities clamping down on this sort of 'funny behaviour' at last.

If anyone tried to bring that blow up doll on the video into the Vic they'd be charged the full £25 (no proof of entitlement to a concession).

Every inflatable needs a designated seat or you've got a potential health and safety nightmare of bottle top proportions.

I remember when we played Accrington (the game that started 'that' great run) we got to the boozer right on the ground at about one o'clock to find it packed with loads of already hammered Poolies, by all accounts the lads on the bus has turned up at 11 and forced them to open 'barrier guy' for example had passed out on a table, anyway the woman behind the bar was selling raffle tickets which most people were buying without asking what the prize was....

When it was drawn one of the Poolies won the only prize, a life size stuffed Tiger. The winner looked happy enough. To be fair he was that blaked he probably thought he'd just bagged a genuine Bengal Tiger. As we left for the match the lad was bucking it over the bar. Anyway when Humphreys scored the brilliant winner I remember seeing the Tiger flying in the direction of the pitch. I wonder if it ever made it back to Hartlepool as I feel it played a part in our season turning on its head.

It was a terrible first half, awful, awful game, fooking freezing and I'm sure it started snowing at half time. I seem to remember some people leaving at ht. any how, Second half absolute class and the temperature seemed to pick up about 10 degrees by the final whistle

I see chaos was caused last night by an inflatable banana at the Feynoord v Roma game.. Wonder if it leads to any other action..
