FIRST OF ALL A BIG THANKYOU

Sat Jan 30, 2010 8:16 pm

To Our Club today from the bottom to the top, They made My Daughters Annaise(aged 8) and Alexandra(aged 4) a day they will never forget. As Mascots I thought they would just go out with the players, but from the minute they arrived there at 1.30pm, they were greeted by Matt Holland(Scott Youngs No2) who was second to none, he really looked after them, taught them to play football,singing,laughing around etc etc.
They were taken behind the scenes to meet Dave Jones, The Refs and introduced to everyone.
They had a photo in the dressing rooms with every member of the Squad and chatted to each individual player, they were never rushed.

PR came down and said hello to them(Thankyou), I cracked a joke at him, saying dont worry they havent got PR out t'shirts underneath.
I loved watching them warm up on the pitch and Feeney came over and passed the ball a few times to them.
Then to run out side by side with Chops and J both, both of them holding their hands made my day.
I sat with Hudson for the whole game.
The only down side was every where I went in the distance were 3 Security following me every where, even at half-time they followed me in to the players lounge(I will tell the tales of them in My next book lol).

But THANYOU for Making My Girls So Happy. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Brilliant.

I had my kids with me today and was trying to persuade them to have a goal. Think they may be too old now :lol:

What was Hudson like ? did he have anything interesting to say. He must be worried after Gyepes and Gerrard's performances today.

My lad was mascot at Ninian about 9 years ago - 0-0 draw with Scunthorpe but promotion game so all was good.

Great day for all of us including grand parents - his grandmother - my mother died not long after - so always precious memories.

That's good. They do seem to take good care of all mascots.

I saw you watching the protest. What were the players saying about the protest?

Glad you had a good day :D

My boy was a mascot down the vetch many years ago. Roger Freestone gave my son his shirt. It was all muddy from the game but would my boy take it off on the drive home? no way :D It's good that our clubs do this as the top four in the premiership wouldn't.

My two boys were mascots in the 90/91 season and i'll never forget it,were playing Stockport County and were three up at half time and well lets be honest the games over as a contest.Well by the end Stockport have drawn level and are pushing for a fourth,why oh why Ashurst has'nt brought my two boys on to plug the holes in our defence i'll never know no wonder he got sacked that season.
