Mascot

[Bill Kent]

Listening to comments by the visiting supporters, like "He looks a right wally, whats the connection". Is it possible that we be released from the embarrassment of having that Peter Pan reject in his silly suit running all over the pitch prior to the match. (Or play him up front)

Give the bloke some credit - it's a mascot. A bit of fun.

 

Could have been worse, could have been a shrimp!

While the connection is rather loose, you've got to give the man credit for organising the costume himself and putting so much effort into it.

Show me a mascot that isn't naff. You should see the couple they've got at West Ham: a bloke dressed up as a hammer and a 7 foot teddy bear. The former, ok, but a bear? What's all that about?

 

Jc's right, Graham put a lot of effort into the mascot idea and most people were behind it as well. Hats off to the fella. I want to see Hooky beating the living crap out of Burton's Billy Brewer one day. Now that would be entertaining!!

 

In fact, we could invite visiting teams' mascots to games and have a WWF style punch up in the centre circle at half time! How about it?! Mind you, I'm not sure what Hooky would do with Tamworth's mascot. Isn't it a sheep.....?

[Bill Kent]

Anymore naff mascots about. Genuine only

[chris blanc]

Hooky's a legend!

[Jeff]

Agreed! Hooky's ace!

Gillingham (with all their pikey connections!) have a horse! Which is fantastic, especially when coupled with the fact that it wears a baseball cap with the letter 'T' on it, obviously for 'Traveller'...... Am not too sure if they realise how much fun this provides away fans!!

Totally un called for, he does a great job, giving his own time and effort, and all at his own expense,as it wasnt cheap to set up either. As for peter pan reject, well my daughter would argue with you on that one........... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/greenapple.gif" alt="" />

We got ourselves a Mascot this season, opened it up to the local Schools to design the best one, invited the 5 finalists down to Cressing Road for a game and then invited the winning 9 year old girl to an opening game presentation of her design:

 

"BILLY THE BRAINTREE BULL"

 

We did some leaflet drops in Town and some of the kids, say "look mummy there's a cow", where I shout out it ain't a cow it's a Bull. (Ours aint naff.) (it has a horn and a tail, looks good) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

Does anyone know when they do the Mascot Racing?

 

Is it open to Non League Clubs?

(As I have only seen Watford, Peterborough etc)

I can agree with that it ain't cheap, ours cost 420 quid, some quotes ranged from 500 upto 1,500 quid.

I think that having a mascot around is good and fun for the kiddies, even the adults have a laugh at his expense before the game, especially when he falls on his [****!!****], trying to score a goal.Keep up the good work Hooky..........

[Bate'o]

Don't know if they already do, but I think they club should give him stuff to give to the kids in the crowd.

Even if he passed out a few quality streets or something, that would be a nice gesture.

Arsenal have a dinosour, at least I think its a dinosour it could be a draggon. What has a big green monster got to do with Arsenal?

Accrington, Burton, Tamworth, York, Halifax, Telford and many other non league mascots enter the races with all others.. lots of mascot events throughout the year.

take a look at www.kipax.com and the MASCOT EVENTS on the left hand menu

If you are ? or have a contact for the mascot I can point you/him to a resource for the events and contact with all the other mascots online... But i dont wanna give the url out to all and sundry

BTW if your club allows then our mascot (accringtons stan the monkey) will be there on the 28th

contact me using mascots then @ then kipax.com

Sorry I won't be at your game as I am a Braintree Town Supporter, came on this thread because it mentioned Mascots and we were looking for assistance finding out about the races.

 

Thanks if you could point me in the right direction, I was part of a 3 man team from Braintree Town Supporters Club that organized our Mascot, I visited the Schools and try to get a volunteer from our Supporters so we can have a Mascot for each game, plus for our Shoot for a Meal competitions as "Billy the Braintree Bull"

Goes in Goal.

 

I would appreciate any help you can give. Plus I understand you do not wish all and sundry to have these details my email address is below. Thankyou.

One of the many things that has so far failed to materialise at Margate was a mascot.

 

I think getting a ground is a tad more important to us, but in fairness the Parmenters were advocating an Alligator.

 

It was going to be MarGATOR.

 

Actually thought it would be a pretty good mascot-not to friendly like many-had some bite about it.

 

Unfortunately without a ground, Margator has had rather a long cold snap.

 

Hopefuly he can rise from the current swampland of Hartsdown Park in the near future

Surely its not too late ..

 

Suky the shrimp with tentacles bouncing along the touchline is a vision that I feel a ground swell of support will continue to rise and make a reality.

 

In the meantime , keep up the good work work Hooky.
