That is a shite theme......just like everything to do with Pools over the last few years, poor!
The fans should boycott it and go as they want.

Hasn't he always picked the theme?
Thought it might have been something USA themed this year.
Can't see the pink being particularly well supported, shite theme imo.

Absolutely 100% they should agree between themselves what theme they are going to apply this year or simply boycott in protest. Stuff Pearson, he does NOT represent the fans, in fact many of us thought that he was no longer in his position. A pathetic theme from someone who is completely out of touch with the hardcore fanbase.

you wouldn,t, i wouldn,t because we were brought up to regard pink as a lasses colour and any lad seen in that colour would be regarded as a sissy. think the younger end of the fanbase might feel a bit different about it.

He is not listed on the OS of who is who, he formed a company called THE HART OF OUR CLUB 1908 COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY, I don’t think it’s actually connected to the club ?
