Should we have kept Gully's Girls?

[Giraffe]

They were all 16 or over, many well into their 20's.

And yes we should have kept them.

 

[The_Viper]

Of course we should. I have no idea why it was scrapped, but if we had girls wanting to do it, and enjoying doing it, then why not have that bit of colour to the pre-match.

If the reason is honestly that rubbish posted above about people possibly "perving", then FFS when will we stop bringing everything down to the lowest common denominator in society. Let's all stop doing EVERYTHING shall we just in case someone around us is doing or thinking something they shouldn't.

This. Great post.

Harmless fun that provided a feelgood factor for the people involved who maybe haven't been to a BHA game since.

Ha ha great stuff

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

No. An utter shite Americanisation of the game.

Might have given us old fellas some excitement this season

Try reaching for your snotty hanky in your trouser pocket a few times. That'll ought to roll your billiards enough.

 

[twickers]

The opera singer was a good idea though.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Were they really?? That's pretty messed up by the club if true!

No. You had to be at least 18.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The age limit was never clarified whilst at Witjdean, so i used to read my programme to avoid any sort of mental crime.

I miss Gully's Girls, but not as much as the defective sprinkler that would stay up for a few seconds more than the rest.

It provided some much needed trauma in the pre-match ritual. Will it go down? Phew!

 

[Sheebo]

The exact reason they were stopped was because of sleezy comments like this funnily enough. One which was even heard and commented on by another clubs directors. Apparently.... And the Albion didn't want to encourage this. Apparently....

There's no place in Football for Cheerleaders!

There is no place in modern Argentina for that sort of thing......but there is over here!

 

[catfish]

No. An utter shite Americanisation of the game.

I quite agree.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

NO! NO! NO! You've got it wrong...if your going to have Gullys Girls...do it with class,Classical music...er like Dvoraks Symphony No 9..Allegro con fuoco. like this....http://youtube.com/watch?v=ERjr2O5M0kw

Oh for heaven's sake! Win bonuses should be a private matter between the club and the players, not displayed on the pitch before the mattch starts!

 

[Husty]

Thought the fire-eating was pretty good last year.

Yeh, if only it wasn't a football match...

And where do we draw the line? Would a "sleezy comment" aimed by a woman about a young player breaking into the first team have us introduce a minimum age for 1st team players, or would we have them playing in long trousers perhaps.

Maybe the mascots should be banned from wearing shorts?

Ridiculous over-reaction to ban them. If the directors heard a comment that warranted that person being removed from the ground, that is what should have happened, and the girls be allowed to continue with something they enjoyed.

Bring 'em back - play them up front.....


.....more likely to score on a Saturday than our first team!

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

To be honest. They were pretty shit. Getting better every season. But still pretty shit.

 

[SE25 Nick]

it was best that you got rid of them. They would never have been up to the same standard of the Crystals.

Some of them were rather small up front so maybe not suitable .....
I have no doubt they can all score - assuming they are over 16
