Gully

[Screaming J]

I think after all the discussion its about time we put this to the test. I mean I know the club have already decided; and I'm not saying that NSC users are necessarily a representative sample of Albion fans but most people I know are firmly against, so I for one would be interested to know whether I just associate with a group of grumpy old men..

So here's a poll on it. I am in the no camp myself, can't think of anything more embaressing (apart from silly music when we score a goal..) but what does everyone else think?

Apologies if this has been done before (couldn't find it on search) or if my 1st attempt at a poll doesn't come out right!

As long as he can fly over other mascots and Sh*t on em!!

 

[*Gullsworth*]

I am in love with Gully

 

[johnny jigsaw]

Gully out!

The only decent club mascot is the Posh Gent at Peterborough.

 

[Gully]

I am starting to get a complex, some people want me, others would rather my egg had been oiled before I had a chance to hatch out of it...

 

[Wardy]

It will be good in the family stand to keep the kids amused while the action on the pitch is crap, but please do not let him near H block.

 

[B.W.]

FFS.. it's for the kids... we need to do EVERYTHING we can to encourage young fans, especially while we wait for Falmer...

 

[Woodchip]

He'll be good for the family stand. Anyone watching the rugby with the Warrington Wolf? Even double hard bastard rugby has mascots.

We need to accept change, not stand in the ay of it.

 

[Gully]

Yeah, I mean it isn't like they are asking us to change our colours...oh hang on a minute, that already happened two seasons ago!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Only if Gully conducts himself in an ironic manner, in the style of, say Harry H Block Potter. In fact Harry Potter may actually BE the best man for the role of Gully. Innit.

 

[NMH]

I think the point of Gully is to remind kids that football is somehow associated with entertainment and not a deadly serious event.

When we are older and can get things into perspective, we can then realise for ourselves that it really is a deadly serious event

Humbug! Kids of today...................

 

[Uncle Buck]

If he acts like Cryil the Swan at Swansea used to, then he will be absolutely fine. That swan got nicked and chucked out of the Vetch more times than some of the nutters that follow Swansea!!!

 

[Jam The Man]

LOL! I like the use of the word reintroduction! Over half this board probably never realised that there was an original Gully!

 

[Gully]

I thought that the original was so bad that he was brilliant, if the new one is anything like that they it will be a hit. However it might be better investing in a load of Ken Dodd impersonators with tickling sticks, anything to liven up some of the motionless stiffs at Withdean (and before anyone gives me grief, I don't mean the players).

Am I shattering illusions for you if I tell you that Gully mark 1 was a girl?
It was Alison (a girl from the club shop at the time...)... nice friendly girl, with a pierced nose.. I think she smoked roll-ups though which for some reason was a bit disconcerting for me as a child.. I might be wrong though!... bless her.. she gave me a free hat and a free camera!

 

[Gully]

Oh, that is shattering the illusion somewhat. I was thinking of volunteering to play the part of Gully, don't know if they have found someone already, at least you would get into the games for free and it would be pretty warm in that suit in the winter. The closest I have come is dressing up as a goose, not sure if that is above or below a seagull in the pecking order, so to speak!

Unfortunately they have already found someone - he was in The Argus a couple of days ago. His experiences include being a redcoat at Butlins - can you match that!?

 

[Gully]

Sadly not, but I have watched quite a few episodes of Hi-Di-Hi if that helps.

Definately a contender...
