Worth keeping this thread!

Shouldn't of been deleted in the first place, I mean I was part of the unofficial FDE last year and was a brilliant day and the surprise element worked a treat. But I genuinely thought this year it would be made a bit more well known as to what it was going to be, instead of messaging a friend of a friend who's cousin knows somebody connected with the FDE.

Who the hell are the FDE?

Is Mellish a member?

Do they have a chapter in Rochdale?

Well my sources are telling me that me and chip are being blamed for this thread.

I may have to go round town in disguise or fancy dress maybe.

One question to the accuser. What have we contributed that the other 100 posters havent.

Ta.

Audrey bibbles droves.

Chip's getting the blame?

His sterling work moderating the thread has kept the chew down to an unprecedented low level.

I've nearly banned myself for laughing at how seriously dressing up like a bit of a div and wandering around that London is being taken.

Who cares .. penguins smurfs Morris dancers its only a but of fun,when all is said and done

Back to Geoff's post I've been thinking so let's say hypothetically speaking a rouge Penguin finds his way down to the to Smoke on the weekend of the match intent on major chew is this sort of scenario possible;

Say the Penguin thinks fuck it I'm not getting on the next train to Crawley I have no interest in the match I'm going to the Tower of London to rob the Crown Jewels. When he get's inevitably collared by the beefeaters can he blame his heinous crime squarely on the organiser?

Has this rouge penguin been sunbathing without his factor 500 cream on or is it the old joke about what is black and white and red all over?

I'm not at all sure that a rouge penguin would be welcome. Dressing up as penguins is a bit odd but the FDE is a manly organisation that hates chew even though can handle itself if it needs to. I don't think they'd even tolerate a member turning up in bit of blusher and some mascara so rouge would be a definite no. Any chew caused by heavily made up, gay or cross dressing penguins couldn't be laid at the FDE's door.

Well this thread had nowt to do with me. I wasnt even in that day. Someone has stolen my ID.

Anyway, thought I should remain in disguise.

This was me at asda last night:



As far removed from penguins as I could think.

Geoffn says the FDE are going for two nights, does this mean they will have a different fancy dress for the other day? Any idea what it will be?

I imagine just walking around London for the sake of it will be part of the plan on the second day and would generate even more much clamoured for attention.

Unless you came across this guy...


Then it would chew level RED

Leaving them on forces people to live with their own rarfiness. Especially in this thread where said demonstration of rarfiness will now be enshrined forever.

Now that I've got my costume where are the the penguin being p-p-p-p-picked up? Sapper's Corner?

Strict orders means no one not in the FDE is allowed to know. Your not even allowed to get a taxi/dropped off at the pick up point to keep its identity 100% unknown to any outsiders.

You have to walk there under the cover of darkness.

I've just discovered the reason for FDE

Holy shit, I didnt think this through did I?

You just can't escape them.

Our lasses mate has dropped a nun outfit off for me, so can any left footers please advise about rosary beads and suchlike?

I just re-read this thread.

Brilliant stuff.

I will be there - relegation notwithstanding we can stand up and be proud to be Poolies - its not our fault that the (current) owners have lost interest in OUR club apart from using it for legalised tax evasion. Regardless of the two clubs current respective league positions, Pools have a proud 100+ years established league history that the Creepy Crawlies - who lets face it are only in the league at all thanks to a multi-millionaire who will inevitably eventually gain sense and/or lose interest - can only envy. Small clubs such as Crawley can and will go the way of all flesh like their predecessors such as Maidstone and R&D - fact.

far too serious for this thread that joe.

The average life span of a penguin is said to be 15-20 years so that would make him a bit of an elder penguin.

Really looking forward to Crawley......new ground and celebrate the end of this god damn awful season.

Highlight for me was the win at pompey

100+ years of struggle and mediocrity.




Do you mean like IOR?

Well........ I have been away for a week and not able to use a computer.............can't believe how this thread has turned out.............
and all I really wanted to know was whether I should wear my home or away strip !!!!!!


Positive Poolie Penguin Power

So is it penguins then?

It seems no one knows now if its Home or Away strip penguins.

Let's have a pole to decide.

Why a Pole.................why not a Czech???

Or somebody else of an East European Origin

Maybe he was thinking more on the lines of a cock measuring contest. It was pole with a small P after all.

You didn't think I meant anything dirty I hope.

I thought penguins always wore their home kit of black and white with beak and foot colour varying from season to season to keep the sponsors happy. And I'm pretty sure they don't have cocks, well nothing measurable anyway.

Just checked with David Attenborough and he says they have cloaca and spurt their little fellas over. I'm shocked that the FDE are prepared to have their tackle removed just for a weekend away but anyone who arrives at Crawley with their penis intact won't be an authentic penguin at all.

Poles... penguins? You're not my audience.

What a top day out that was.

Shame we still got relegated eh

Nah, the players are under the impression we couldnt give two shits after the "end of season party"

Celebrating utter shiteness.

Brilliant.

the front page of the mail on monday, fooking disgusting.

What were they meant to do at the end of the match like whale uncontrollably like the North Koreans did when the president died?

All it looked like to me is them thanking the supporters for excellent and completely unwarranted great support, and acknowledging team mates that they'll probably in some cases never play with again. If they'd have just walked off looking miserable they'd have got slaughtered for ignoring the fans.

We've been relegated since November, I don't see the point in continued negativity that how clubs, who are feeling sorry for themselves, end up getting relegated again.

Oh and the FDE, superb again It's brilliant how big a part nationally Pools become about the last day of the season.

Meh. Not a patch on last years, looked like nowhere near as many took part (probabaly because they kept it a secret until the day before) for some stupid reason. All the photos I saw were crap compared to the smurfs as simply not enough numbers in the pictures to be effective. I was praying they didnt try to 'recreate' the escalator picture but low and behold they did. Was funny with Oompa Lumpas and Smurfs but bores me now.

oh god Tree with hamster gets bored with something he didnt take part in shock.

Why critisise eh?

Whats the point?

Those that went had a good time, and the club got some good publicity again.

OK its a bit daft all the secrecy, but at the end of the day no bad came from it.

And it was funny taking the piss.

Exactly Mr Dibble, the most important thing is the day passed without any chew.

Which is the main thing. Chewy penguins are a nightmare for any club

The video of the lad doing a penguin slide down the escalator is funnier than the smurfs and oompah loompa's put together.

agreed. It was very very funny.

Fantastic day out with the 176 penguins - and a further 200+ non penguins in the away end. Went to last game for the previous 3 seasons and didn't think last year could be beaten - but this certainly equalled it.
Proud to be a member of the FDE (or whatever stupid name people want to give it) Oh and by the way - there wasn't any chew. Just lost of drink, lots of laughs and a top top week end away.
