What shall I wear to Watford? A dilemma...

[Lady Whistledown]

1. New home shirt.
Like the shirt, it means I'm up to date and look the part, however its match by match record so far this season reads

P3 W0 D0 L3.

2. Last season's home shirt
Bit out of date now and has the infamous Butters message on the back, which inevitably results in abuse from missing-the-point humourless fans of said defensive stalwart. However- shirt's recent form has been good:

P5 (incl play offs) W5 D0 L0....allowing for the Swindon home game feeling like a win even though technically we lost


3. Yellow away shirt
Watford play in yellow so it won't be used by the team, and in any case I can't remember us winning a single game I wore it to last season. Currently third place in the rankings.

Seeing as I'm a bit superstitious when it comes to matchday attire, what's a girl to do?

If you are wearing JUST a shirt,no-one will care which one it is

 

[Bobby's Gull]

New home shirt!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Hmmm, not convinced the world is ready for me in just a shirt



Think it's going to have to be the lucky Butters shirt until we next lose and the spell is broken.

Please don't therefore come up to me during the match and accuse me of Guy-bashing.

[Lady Whistledown]

Butters
£ 5 ono.

Long story

Was it you who eBay'ed him then?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Technically no, but I confess to writing the for sale notice.

Someone else put it on line, no idea who. I don't have the techy know how to do that...

Hey, he's unstoppable now, so long term I guess everyone's a winner.

 

[Cian]

Has anyone got a copy of the eBay listings for him?

 

[Hungry Joe.]

Stockings, suspenders and a Russian gas mask

Butters
£ 5 ono.

Long story

Were you the winner of that famed auction EK?

That all happened during my two year sojourn from NSC!

How about a nice bit of Burberry

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Not sure there were any bids??

Never really saw it other than the link posted on here by whoever did it. Splitting hairs, I think it was on another auction site, rather than ebay, but can't be sure.

It went something like

1 centre half, king size, hardly used. Ideal for use as whale simulator for training eskimo children to hunt.

Or a bit like that, there was probably a bit more to it, but a year's a long time in football and I can't remember what I wrote now!

I'd pay triple that in fact.

The reserve price, in pounds, that Brighton and Hove Albion centre-half Guy Butters was auctioned for online by unimpressed Seagulls fans. The sales pitch read: 'One centre-half, king-size, as new, hardly used_ In original condition, complete with large quantity of protective padding.' When the auction closed, Butters had attracted not a single bid.

The withering sales pitch includes:

Would suit Screwfix Western League team. Possible use as a whale simulator for training eskimo children to hunt'
