Being mascot?

[Deleted member 875]

The worst mascot we have ever had was LS26BLADE but his initial experience led to him having another go for free. I'll let him take up the story but it is the stuff of nightmares and broken promises from Paul Williams........

It was £200 quid in 1992 when I did it as I asked my dad when I was a bit older how much it actually cost. Mine was against Arsenal, captained by Tony Adams and we had Deane, Kelly, Tracey, Whitehouse, Bradshaw etc. Footballers were heroes then, they aren't anymore, although I suppose kids still idolise them.

Pigs charge £450 as my nephews did it last year (poor bastards), you do get some top quality sondico merchandise thrown in for that as well though must be at least £3.50 of the price. The rest goes towards the 3 centre forwards £100k per week salary fund.

I know a guy who was Glentoran mascot for his 50 th birthday. He led the team out in full kit when they played away against bitter rivals linfield. He is over 6ft tall so it was quite a spectacle but he loved it.

Well it was a great experience for my lad. Met all the players from both teams, and had goosebumps when he led the team out.

Not a hugely great match, but a good point in the end and it could have gone either way. Resting a lot of players could have proved costly but
still trust Wilder and have to say he and the kitman whos name i dont know could not have been any more welcoming to my lad, me and my dad.

heres one of the million pics i took.

Great to hear that, and to see one of your pictures. Just a shame you had to put up with those colours in the dressing-room! I trust your lad has a soft spot for the Blades for life.
