Non football related but Hartlepool in the news again.

https://news.sky.com/story/hartlepools- ... s-12327668

Giving some context to the legend. Hopefully no one will be pulling this statue off its plinth.

Statue will have to come down and HUFC will be fined £3'000000 and forced to play behind closed doors for 69 seasons for not changing their mascot.

UTP.

Are you in favour of abusing monkeys or against it. It's not clear from your comment.

leicester will be next with their nickname and mascot. taking the piss out of foxes may hurt their feelings causing mental health issues among a new breed of the snowflake fox.

Peggy the Pig allegedly.

Mind the article's 5 years old so the chances are she went for rashers some time back.

What was the game where the Drummond era Hangus tackled another mascot to the ground then simulated rear entry sex on its furry behind?

Hangus rules!

there mascot is vernon bear. the original one was the brother of the guy in the pig clip. used to walk around pre match giving sweets to kids at the front of the stands. not as pervy as the one at doncaster, donny dog, who used to put his fist in the air if a good looking young lass came on the pitch for one reason or other.

Was that Blackpool in the play offs? I recall watching our hero being put into a police van after gesturing behind a senior officer..

He had a blowup doll at that game, he was trying to reason with the police,sadly to no avail. it was a red hot day as well. I remember the ball girl for Blackpool going crazy when they scored, jumping up and down and giving us the Vs .nothing happened to her, probably a director for fair play in football now!

The Darlo dog and Panda were mechanically grinded up into mystery meat after Darlington's 2012 insolvency.
