Right, let's look at this:

It wasn't known until Saturday evening that it was going to be Hull v Rovers. The Rovers shop (like the Hull one AFAIK) is not open for business on Sunday. That would mean the earliest opportunity for the shop to order some blonde wigs would have been Monday. Presumably they would have had a 24-48 hour wait for delivery of the wigs. Would you really expect them to fork out for a load of blonde wigs (which they prob wouldn't have received until today) and try selling these, based purely on what is still (as cool as it is) only a minority of people buying them/pledging to by them? By this I mean a lot more of our support prob doesn't read the forums then does.

And, come Monday (if we've lost) how the f is the shop gonna get rid of the remaining ones?





Nonetheless I think it's a great idea.

i might set up a stall in west park

You should, you would make a mint. Our shop for the challenge cup on 05 was a bit of a joke, and the opportunists made a killing. But then again, we're a big club and had made a major final.
Your thinking blond wigs is really amusing and somehow getting one over on us. Yeah right.
I might set a stall up with cockaynes face behind bars on t shirts for a fiver. Reckon I'll probably do alright.

Hmm, might have worked if Ben had ever actually been a member of HMP...

Reckon I'd sell a few mate!

Maybe we should all go budda, and wear cookie monster t shirts!

Probably would actually!





Have to say I don't think the Ahh Briscoe ones looked very good (not just saying that as a Rovers fan). IMO a smarter one would have been in the style of those Pemps used to do (and I think your shop has done for a few players).

Will look forward to checking out the badge sellers stands actually, sometimes have some good commemorative ones.

This game has been on the cards for three weeks. How about you do some scenario planning, call up a wholesaler on Saturday evening and send a van round on Sunday? They're hardly a bespoke item like the special edition t-shirts FC seem to be able to turn round in a couple of days. Could have had them in the shop when people went for tickets on the Monday. I'd expect better from the department of the year at Craven Park TBH.

What about all 24000 fans uniting in a chant of "wheres our Cookie gone". Might make the poor kid feel wanted and important again for a couple of minutes...

I like it!



Then we can get back to the cauldron of hatred

God there is no wonder FC ur the most hated club in super league you talk absolute e most of the time, i mean we all live in hull but you make out its the east side that are the losers ie thick on the dole bladdi bla, get over yourselves grow up and stop been d!ck heads, there ive said it.................. and if we wanna wear wigs we will...........just to p!ss you lot of and when we win we will throw them to you so you can remember us cos what ever your saying your just firing us up so bring it on.............

How ranga spice can say anyone talks e is beyond me.

Everytime you open your mouth you compound the perceptions of East Hull.

He should be

wot about the chant u dobbins fans sing at home games "we all hate hull"
but yet u all live in hull

Well I still don't get how these blonde wigs are a p1$$ take? Anyone?

Not in the eyes of the law.

Why do they have to [ube[/u a pi$$ take?

I.e. just a bit of fun, and revenue for local businesses, it's all good.

any truth in the rumour that when KR run out at the KC on saturday Handbags and your Gladrags will be played?

King of Kings by Motorhead I got told.

You don't think it's intended to be a p1$$ take? Why on earth would it be fun to remind yourselves of how much of a 2 of your players looked during and after your most recent derby defeat? Like I said if anything it should be the FC fans wearing them.

Please do, we can then mention the 950odd that turned up to see you play Huyton in the late 70's



Oh, and you need to check your facts first before posting

If there is any element of pi$$ take it's because Agar stupidly felt that the two players had dyed their hair out of 'cockiness', when in fact it was part of a club forfeit, where they were required to either dye their hair or have it shaved. They both opted for a dye, that's all there was to it, but Agar had to be silly and try to blow the whole thing up.

A forefeit made up after the event?

I thought that mate - couldn't recall that Donny defeat but wasn't 100% certain.

Eh?

The forefeit has been done by other players in the past (IIRC Lovegrove had his hair dyed blonde before), but this time it coincided with the derby, nothing to do with been cocky though IMO.
