January 9, 20242 yr This fan engagement stuff got me thinking….surely we could have mascots at all the away games. Maybe run competitions. Give people the chance for their kids to be a mascot without paying for the pleasure.

I know they used to offer it out as @marple whites Junior did it a couple of times. just think it’s a good way to give folk a chance who wouldn’t normally

January 9, 20242 yr Cost a small fortune for SJM Junior to walk out this coming Saturday against Cheltenham. Intrigued to see what the experience is like for the cost.

January 9, 20242 yr aways used to be free, just needed the current kit and have match tickets- the experience then changed depending on who we were playing. th'eldest did it v Burnley in the 125 anniversary game; turns out didnt even need tickets, and they were great hosts. she had a full team photo, which is rare
January 9, 20242 yr Why not have 11 mascots per game, one per player? Come On Neil, you're missing out on revenue here.

Chelsea looked after us, meal & drinks on next table to players wives 😆 Gave us a tour with the home mascots. Met John Moston, John Terry, Lamps etc. £49 each for tickets mind.
January 9, 20242 yr I'd happily but a decent sum of money if they let me don full kit and walk out holding Santos' hand would pay even more if they let me do it with a pint and tab in hand
January 9, 20242 yr You used to just put your kids names on a waiting list. My son and daughter were both joint mascots at WBA in Prem and at Wigan in a cup game.

PMSL, he was injured and it was at the time the Rio stuff was happening, tbf all the players/staff where approachable. Coyle was manager and we went in the dressing room before the match just after the team arrived, it was obv there was a problem, the atmosphere wasn't the best, ushered in and out. Completely different from when lad was mascot at home just after Coyle arrived. TBF Coyle was always good with my lad, just a shame it didn't work out on the pitch.

Used to be won in the raffle at Junior Whites monthly get together. My brother won it once and I think Grampa Spencer had more fun seeing behind the scenes than he did.
January 10, 20242 yr Charging for kids to be mascots is one of the things truely wrong in modern football.

There was one of Gartsides mates kids there getting the VIP treatment, my brother ended up knocking about with Johansen (probably just closest in size) and had more fun.

January 12, 20242 yr They used to auction mascot packages, got the lad against WBS in 2010 or 11 for £150. Nobody bid except me. To buy was £400. It was an xmas present.
January 13, 20242 yr The experience was absolutely superb, obviously overshadowed by events, but what they did for Jnr was brilliant. kit man gave the two mascots a training top and they did the sublimation for Mathesons shirt, the whole thing was ace.
