Same. Tense moments. Followed by that little final bloop of water just before it finally went to ground like its peers.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Should we have kept Gully's Girls?

I'd like to see Gullys Drag Queens dancing to Danny La Rue singing "On Mother Kelly's Doorstep".
Afterwards we can all scream for a policeman.

Ha! Yes. I always hoped that extra moisture might encourage Harley to make more than a meandering sidle, but it was never to be.
I agree with Gritt23 again. Maybe it's a West Stand Upper Gullys Girls appreciation group thing!
I have to agree with you on this. Maybe we could sign the Crystals on loan for 2014/15?

No. But then the Crystals are a professional dance group who were together long before Palace decided to get involved and rebrand them for their own purposes. Who no doubt have very strict recruitment criteria (no fat chicks please!).
Ours were just a bunch of local girls who (I assume) trained a couple of times per week after work, who recruited on the basis of enthusiasm rather than physical appearance, and who I imagine would never have claimed to be the greatest performers in the world anyway.
I do think the GGs were slightly inappropriately aged, personally. Either make them younger and then there's no worries and it's all good clean wholesome fun for the kids, or make them all over 20 and then it's alright for LADS to be LADS for the BANTS etc.

Did they have "great personalities" as well?

No I do not see how they improved the match day experience

Yes because they were a part of the match day experience like Fanzone and were enjoyed by many of the younger fans etc Those that didn't want to watch their routine could stay in the concourse with Pint/Pie and watch the TV screens but they showed the face of brilliant work done by Albion in the Community. The club is poorer without them and their enthusiasm I'd say.
I really don't see how making them younger would be a good idea, and I'm sure it was said that most of them were over 18 anyway?
Well if they're younger then it obviously just something fun and innocent for the kids. They were aged between 16-20, with some older than 20 but some certainly looking 16 or younger. Not really appropriate.

I thought that was the best thing about Gully's Girls - they seemed an inclusive bunch of girls who just enjoyed what they did. I thought it provided a homemade touch in an increasingly professional era.
None of them looked younger than 16. Maybe when it started but by the time it was stopped? No way.
If they were all 14, then you wouldn't have had all the dubious incidents / relationships between the girls and members of the playing staff, which were surely the real reason for giving them the boot.
Bingo, my niece was a gully girl and she really enjoyed it. When considering they didn't get paid for game days I think they did a fine job.

No they were embarrassing!

Don't wait for me!
I liked it when Gully's boys joined in for a game or so - the men that were pretending not to ogle at young women were suddenly outraged.
