I was Macot numerous times. I was even Mascot at Charlton vs Albion at Shithurst. Best experience of my life. I was also Mascot for Steve Foster testimonial against Spurs at the Goldstone.
I think it pointless at the Amex, but away from home espically somewhere grim up North and we're getting told to sit down repeatedly then its more fun.
I highly recommend 4 books by James Holland called. The Odin Mission, Darkest Hour, Blood of Honor and Hellfire. They're all involving a fiction soldier called Jack Tanner. It is like Sharpe, but basically a WW2 version of Sharpe.
