Think the fella who sorts it out frequents the hufc1908 board. May be best off asking over there

It's a bloody secret so do as your told n stop asking n when it's time pay your money when your told. Take a photo at a train station and in a pub and on an escalator.

This is fucking serious stuff so will people stop taking the piss.

This man organises 400 outfits and hotels and transport and cars and houses and pack lunches and televisions.

No one asked him to like.

But ffs do as your told this isn't fun fancy dress is serious.

You heard it here first. They done a dry run at Cambridge and apparently it went well.

I am not going to get involved in this debate except to say:

I will lose all respect for the FDE if they ever dress like this. It would be just wrong on so many levels.

The smurfs weekend was a cracking weekend, We were at a gig the night before in Blackpool, got the train to London on the Saturday morning and had a brilliant day out.

Yup, Penguins at Crawley one of mine too.

We had nowt to play for, like. This year could be VERY different and if there's anything riding on it I'd rather go as a Pools Supporter and try to ensure we get what's needed. I have a funny feeling we MAY need points...

Is that a hint Mr ElvisC? Are the FDE going as Theresa May?

Jonny · **Posted:** Fri Apr 07, 2017 10:31 pm

No it must be Brian May or a Queen link of some sort - I think Elvisc has mentioned a few times over the years that he is a massive fan of them..... bbolt

I can't fucking go, gutted

The lad has a game for the county against Spen Valley (near Leeds) so no way we could get there in time.

Fuck.

Same reason I missed Morecambe today as he was at Mansfield.

Shouldn't complain really cos some of the football is quality.

Never quite understand the animosity towards the fancy dress from a few on here. It's a personal choice that often results in a good day out for all involved and a decent bit of press for the club and the town. No one is forced, or even asked, to do it. If people don't fancy it then fair enough but don't quite understand why there are digs aimed at those who organise and participate in it.

Personally I've never been involved in one, but I can see only positives from it. I can understand why people would want to do it and also why people wouldn't, but I can never understand why anyone who have an issues with anyone's choice either way.

Good Post Chrissy,

Even down here in Cornwall I've had folk who know my Poolie connection come up to me and say saw your lads dressed up as Smurfs etc and say good on them. Never heard it said about any bigger or indeed any other club. Let's have something to cheer us up for goodness sakes as there is precious little else.

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Sun Apr 09, 2017 4:34 pm

We'll said Chrissy!!!!

poolieinnottingham · **Posted:** Sun Apr 09, 2017 9:26 pm

Apart from Jeff Stelling, it is the most positive association with the club there is. I won't be going to Cheltenham in fancy dress, but those that are won't bother me in the slightest.

monkeybutt · **Posted:** Mon Apr 10, 2017 10:50 am

Why not give people the chance to procure outfits in plenty of time though, I appreciate that one person does all the organisation but how does that stop him from letting people know, surely the more that go in matching outfits the better or am I missing something

I hope they are buying waterproof face paints, might be a lot of grown men crying at the end of the game if our league tenure finally comes to an end.

Unfortunately it could be true. But we live in hope! :character-smurfguy:

It's ok if you're celebrating the end of the season, but there's an awful inevitability about the way our season is going. Hope I'm wrong.

All could be revealed on Monday. (Well not all but you know what I mean)
