Are dogs banned?

born toulouse · **Posted:** Wed Aug 05, 2009 10:47 pm

I can definitely remember lots of people bringing their dogs to Pools when I was a kid ,canine pitch invasions were not unusual, but I can't remember when I last saw one...

I have two questions:

Are dogs banned nowadays?

If they are banned when did it happen and who is to blame? Most lower division matches would be improved by a random Jack Russell keen to shag the ball.

I can't remember dogs ever being allowed in, but there was always some flea bitten Heinz 57 that managed to gain entry and oragnise a pitch invasion.

Obviously it must have been long before my time. I can recall a rabbit being released onto the pitch when we scored against darlo once.

I can remember a brown mongrel type dog religously frequenting the mill house terrace when the gates opened near the end. It used to get a good feed from the bits of pie etc... I'm talking early 80's so its probably well dead now, or the oldest dog in the world!!

Didn't realise Granville had a dog, nor that he was Pools fan...

We aren't confusing this with a hot dog are we?

I remember a giraffe being let loose on the pitch in a League Cup game against Derby in 84.

How we laughed, and yet were appalled that such animal cruelty could happen at the Vic.

I remember a three-toed sloth at the Vic ... trouble was he played for Pools.

Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch. It generates a warmth around the ground that augurs well for mankind. And that’s what life’s about!

what ever happened to me in full length white coats like those seen at around 1:00

Quality dog compilation there Jish. When people said that the men in the white coats would come to take me away I never thought they really existed.

I remember that '80s dog in the Millhouse and I'm sure there were a few more in the '70s, maybe the club released them- any distraction was welcome.
