Where do we stand on cerise, aubergine, vermillion and taupe?

I hope they do make the effort with the book. I'm worried that I might get to Villa Park and, after spotting some chap in a mustard coloured blazer, aquamarine shirt and fuchsia slacks, go to congratulate him on his superb fancy dress effort. Only for him to look bemused and go "What?".

The mildly amusing thing about this Portillo idea is that I'm sure plenty of the Portillo-dressers in attendance won't bother with the Bradshaw's Guide, they'll just wear brightly coloured slacks and blazers. Other, non-Albion, onlookers won't register that they're meant to be Portillo: they'll...

:ohmy:

Me: I'll be reviving an old promotion favourite for the occasion. Managed to locate a lovely jacket today, and have the white gloves and handbag ready to go. All I need now is a pearl necklace. What? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did spy a rather pleasing red blazer in a charity shop in Haywards Heath today. Size L. I did vaguely offer to purchase it for Carrot Cruncher but no word yet as to whether it's needed. If not: you know where to go, Portillos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So how's the planning going, Portillo fans?

Agree, needs five burly CHAPS though, so I'm afraid it's out for my travelling party. Hope somebody gives it a go though :lol:

I bet there are a few around (if only in your Dad's wardrobe). Don't forget your Bradshaw's Guide (£7.99 on Amazon according to Carrot Cruncher). I am FROCK shopping already.

Nobody's suggested this yet, to my surprise...

I spy Sarah Watts there in full fancy dress (not sure what it's meant to be though!). No Liz Costa? Disappointing :lol:

Quite possibly, yes. She only comes out for already-promoted end of season finales :)

Holy crap, that would be like something out of a horror movie. Or a Daft Punk video :lol:

Is that his lesser known uncle?

This really is a tremendous idea. I'm not sure which of you will pull if off to best effect, but I'm looking forward to seeing the efforts. Will you be carrying the Bradshaw's Guide for the complete look?

The question is, are we going for anything-you-like, or should we, Hartlepool-style, have a theme or matching costumes? If themed, I say nuns. I strongly approve of the idea of several hundred nuns descending on Villa Park.
