Hartlepool United would like to update supporters on the theme of this year’s fancy dress outfit for our final away game of the season.
It’s that time of the season again, and 15 years on, there is still the appetite amongst Poolies to have a good time and show other clubs what our fans are about.
Supporters have travelled to Walsall, Bristol Rovers, Brentford, Charlton, Crawley, Tranmere, Barrow, Plymouth, Dorking, Carlisle, Cheltenham and Scunthorpe across the years in fancy dress.
Costumes have included Where’s Wally, Oompa Lumpa’s, Morris Dancers, Storm Troopers, Smurfs, mime artists, Blues Brothers, Bob Marley, penguins, clowns, thunderbirds, doctors and knights.
Supporters have always added colour, fun, enthusiasm and anticipation to our final away games of the season.
Cost and availability are always a consideration and for this season, a flat cap army will be cheap, cheerful and bring a sense of nostalgia back to the terraces, whilst helping charity shops around the town raise some much needed funds.
What goes on below the cap is open to the imagination, from Andy Capp to Peaky Blinders, Catherine Cookson or Likely Lads.
If supporters could don a flat cap at our fixture at Rochdale on April 26, it would continue to celebrate a fantastic Poolie tradition.
