I remember a woman dressed as cat woman or something handcuffing herself to the goal post at half time a few years back.

It was at Fulham Mr Mutley - I remember it as I was there. It was for some comedy programme which I don't remember.

Incidental half time entertainment I have enjoyed includes watching the ships on the North Sea before the CK stand was there (from the Millhouse stand) and looking across at the tower of the art gallery. At the old Doncaster ground I liked to watch the light aeroplanes flying around.
A long time ago Orient used to have a live band (rock not brass) playing and at the Old Den there was usually some supporter baiting and fighting.

Going back a bit further, it used to be the norm for a few kids to get on the pitch at half time and have a penalty shoot out with a can at the Rink End. This is early seventies.

half time entertainment used to be swapping ends and trying to get your regular spot.always seemed like thousands of people in the rush but I would have been just a wee lad at the time.

What ever happen to us having the kick the ball through a target thingy, probably last season or the one before there was a bit announcement on the website that the game had been delivered and a fan would be pulled out of the ground to see if they could win a car or something.

Also, where's the bloody scoreboard?

I liked when they had the cones and people would run through them and shoot into an empty net for the fastest time.

They had some fat kid doing it for weeks and weeks and kept getting him back as he was falling over all the time.

Good times

Didn’t they have to run around deckchairs.

Aye! The deckchair challenge

Years ago the half time entertainment at the Vic seemed to be the pastime of pelting Ted the Welly and his halftime board with as many half eaten pies and burgers as possible as he walked around the edge of the pitch.

The best half time entertainment by far at Pools in my living memory has been since they've opened a bar behind the stand.

Don't forget the half time Police drop kicking competition, won by a superb running drop kick. I think the winner got six months.

Deck chair challenge was mint.
What about the police dogs doing the assault think it was against Malcolm Allison,s mighty eagles.

Is he still alive? Not the greatest manager in the world but definitely one of the greatest characters.
