Nothing to do with all the stuff from his social media history which was publicised yesterday of course 🤔

I see Cray have been deducted 3 points for an ineligible player. Not exactly earth shattering eh?
But it has just been announced but occurred in the first game of the season I'm told, tinpotness at its best

Folkestone could only draw against lowly Bowers and Pitsean this evening, 2-2 and they needed a 90th min equaliser!
They are 10 points behind us with a game in hand, looking like they might be out of the running?

And off course we need a win this weekend. |

Please WFC, promise me you'll never cheapen the matchday experience by introducing one of these... Isthmian Site - Link |

Please WFC, promise me you'll never cheapen the matchday experience by introducing one of these... Isthmian Site - LinkWhen they were young I used to bring my daughters to games (to be honest I think they wanted pre match chips more than anything) and my youngest wanted me to write to the club offering her services as a matchday mascot. Her idea was to be "Wanda the Worthing Worm" and crawl on her belly out of the tunnel before the players! Bless. Of course when she did her Masters at Sussex Uni I never at all reminded her of her offer  |

I remember when I first starting going to football in the late sixties. No furry mascots in those days. I used to watch Bournemouth one Saturday, and Southampton the following. At Bournemouth we used to have Ken Bailey walk round the perimeter before the match. Who remembers him?  He was the England mascot dressed as John Bull. We always used to ask him what the score would be?? Always 2-1. Probably best remembered at Twickenham when Erica Roe did her streak and he used his hat to cover her bits. Ken walking round always added to the pre match experience. Off the top of my head, don't Hereford have a live bull walk round the pitch before the match. And last time I was at Palace, there was an eagle in full flight. Can anyone share what other clubs have as pre match experience??? |

I believe that at Boreham Wood (if it's a cup game) you get offered out by neanderthal "fans" banned from Prem clubs |

Don't Bognor have a crazy old fool in a flasher mac running up and down the touchline ranting in a funny high pitched voice? 😉
Ken Baily. I've tried to find it on YouTube without success but there was a great clip from back in the 60's of him doing his trademark walk round the pitch waving to the crowd... and without warning a full sized cabbage smacks him square in the face and knocks his Union Jack top hat off.
Whilst missiles thrown onto the pitch are by no means condoned there is just something that transcends the norm when it combines vintage footage, Ken Baily and a massive vegetable 🤣

Given the revelations that came out about Ken Bailey I suspect that he has been erased from youtube

Lots of league clubs have mascots - Pompey, at one point, had a Frog called Frogmore (from the road in which fratton park is situated), but we’ve currently a dog called Nelson. My favourite was always the Pompey sailor, who would wander round before the game with a big ‘play up Pompey’ placard. They’re all quite droll, but great for kids. I wouldn’t mind something more for the kids at Worthing but I’m not sure I could abide a bloody great 6-ft mackerel flopping about the place.
You’ve also got to be careful not to have something too piss-take-worthy. As an away fan I’ve questioned ‘what the jeffing-heck is that’ at a good few mascots, with any corporate-linked ones being the most crass. Swifty at Walsall (the very inventive name for a swift, as they have one on the club badge) always gets suggestions of being the ‘fittest bird in Walsall’. That particular chant may transcend the mascot piece and be a suggestion that the local area is not the most salubrious.
I’m not as anti as some, I guess. But it’s a tough job to get it right.

The crowning turd of the 'corporate' mascot scene Adam must surely be 'Bobby the Boiler' at West Brom... literally a square white foam boiler unit with a big smiley face, just because their sponsors were a boiler making company. I mean WT actual F? 🤦♂️ Wouldn't say I was 'anti' mascot (it's not at all healthy to actually get angry about a foam costume 🤣) it's more a case of what does it actually bring to the party?, what use is it? Adults don't get the point, little kids are terrified of them and older kids just rip the p*ss, there's only a small sweet spot age between little'uns and teenagers for whom it makes any sense. |
