Okay apart from the football and after some suggestions on the great idea thread what enterainment would you like to see at the games? I'm sure the club will read them!

throwing rottern apples at ian wright

Throwing Ian Wright off the roof.
But that would be over too quickly.....

hanging the monkey

as someone has already mentioned - getting the kids names right when they are taking penalties would be a start.

crossbar challenge?

that inflatable 'win a holiday' thing is useless - especially when Winter and the Hartlepool FM people start shouting down the microphones

Throwing Jeff Winter at Iain Wright

I enjoy the kids half-time penalty shootout. The inflatable thing is just plain boring, recently they got 4 people up who patently had'nt kicked a ball between them in 20 yrs,half of the holes in it are unbreachable.

Lets have a crossbar challenge, 3 attempts from the edge of the box, with a worthwhile prize. Or even fan's kicking a ball from the edge of one box towards the opposing goal trying to score, again 3 attempts. Then again it would'nt happen due to the amount of subs/keepers on the pitch at halftime.

Just a thought.

I wish someone had caught that deckchair challenge caper on film it was hilarious. Remember watching Hangus dousing the opposition subs bench in bottled water at halftime in one game, when they were positioned in front of the Millhouse stand, that was funny.

a crossbar challenge - few people from the crowd pulled out and if you hit it you win 50 knicker?

Thing is chip mascots ain't allowed to do things like that anymore partly because of what drummond did I guess but its that same at other grounds.
There is a code of conduct for them to follow or your out on your ear, how many mascots have you seen come to the vic not many I bet. I know for a fact that kids still love H'Angus and we are working on things to improve it all the time.

As for walking around the ground you got to be joking unless you have a least a couple of people with you dragging the kids off so you can at least walk but if you offering to do that i'd gladly take you up on the offer.

Glad to see ideas being posted but I like katcha's idea ( for next season) only include it rolling over to the next game if its not won or challenging H'Angus to the crossbar Challenge if H'Angus wins money goes to charity/....

full o good ideas me - worth my weight in gold - i checked this out the other week actually and its a fooking lot of money!

The Band of the Coldstream Guards

I didnt know Hangus was still at the matches?


The inflatable thing is as boring as hell and serves no excitement whatsoever. I think its digusting how the kids no longer get their names etc read out when they run up and that its totally over looked by some twat with a faulty microphone.

ps im not calling john orley a twat, but the bloke on the pitch.

they'll probably come out with some health and safety bollocks if you were to ask them

Whose 'them'?

But I'm sure H'Angus was up to his antics after this date so maybe he's fallen foul of the football league again

Couldn't find anything specific but theres no doubt it will exist

While on the subject here's H'Angus doing his latest bit of media whoring

http://www.football-league.co.uk/latest ... 81_1931560

Bet it ends up as a Newcastle, Boreo, Carlisle fest just like the normal evening show...

It's a pity Hangus could'nt "trip up" some of the ref's as they leave the field at the end of the game. Weve had some right blinkered tvvats so far this season.

We need to get some marble fittings, Earl Grey tea and a plate of chocolate hobnobs in the ref's changing room, in an attempt to turn those "septic tankers" around.

Nothing to do with pools im afraid.

bringing the code of conduct in!

From the Telegraph in 2001

THE Football League is to draw up a code of conduct for mascots. The guidelines aim to curb their behaviour following a series of fights and pitch invasions.
The League hopes the code of conduct will bring a measure of decorum to the mascots' behaviour, which some observers claim brings the game into disrepute.
A Football League spokesman said: "We are looking at formulating some sort of code of conduct. It's not going to be something that's legally enforceable but will show what mascots should and should not be doing.
"Mascots are there to provide good family entertainment but sometimes they get a bit over-exuberant and interfere with the game. Football is becoming more of a family game and we want them to provide family entertainment. We don't want mascots to get involved in behaviour that is a bad example to young fans."
One of football's most infamous mascots is the exuberant 9ft Swansea City mascot, Cyril the Swan.
Cyril's pitchside antics landed him in the League dock, resulting in a £1,000 fine and an order to stay in the stands following a pitch invasion against Millwall.
Another brawling football mascot, Wolfie of Wolverhampton Wanderers, hit the headlines after a fight with a couple of pigs at Bristol City and a skirmish with West Bromwich Albion's Baggie the Bird.
Bury's Robbie the Bobby was sent off for a third time this season for mooning at visiting Bristol City supporters.
A Football League spokesman said it was considering ideas including confining mascots to the stands after kick-off.



Sounds as thoiugh the nmascots where having too much fun so the FL decieded to clamp down.. Having said that I found no record of the "Code of Conduct" on the FL Website..

If kids are entertained at Pools while young they'll come to expect it when they're older and a whole generation of Poolies will be lost. Let them in cheap and let them climb on the bottom of the floodlights and chase each other about, maybe give them a collection sheet to throw coins at or a fat player to laugh at. Any more entertainment than that and they'll never adjust to mature Pooliehood.

Absolutely spot on. I often wonder where the next generation of Bunkerites is coming from.. ....

I think Chip's sorting that out this weekend.
