Very good idea. I hope someone at the club is taking note and you'll be able to pass on details of where you had this done. I'm sure they would not mind the advertising. Ideal Christmas present to reuse those old shirts (and next Christmas, all those BLK ones).

Oi! Iv,e decided I want my shirt back, got people texting me now wanting my old Pools shirts! FFS!

When I first started going to Pools you could pay extra to get a fairly knackered black pad to put on your seat in the old Clarence Road stand. Times change though and nowadays, after all the bottle top injuries that have occurred at matches, you have to consider the horrific possibility of a cushion riot. There is always a chance that unofficial cushions like yours could cause chew no matter how well-meaning the owners are.

Are accusing me of stealing the shirt off your back.

You need to speak to my solicitor "Screwem Goode and Hart" Church Square,West Hartlepool.

You are assuming that "Official Cushions" would be safer but i am not sure how the stewards could identify them or how this could be policed?Perhaps Matty Bates would have to sign each one?

I'm just saying that the club can't be held responsible for chew caused by unofficial cushions. The official ones could come with guidelines to ensure safe use.

Bluestreak · **Posted:** Wed Oct 03, 2018 2:17 pm

Perhaps the kids involved in the half time penalty shoot out could have a prematch cushion fight in the centre circle to whip the fans up into a frenzy.

It's a bit of a clart on to get it to the ground but it makes for a much more comfy matchday experience.
