The Barberettes / Gully girls

[Sompting_Seagull]

Is that from the calendar?

No my personal stash.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Can't we have them just once a month and give them a bit more time then to focus and learn a single routine. Mix of other acts etc. rest of the time

You know it makes sense

 

[Bigbelly]

If they have been binned then I'll not be happy. Used to enjoy them, it was part of the pre match.build up. I did wonder why they wasn't doing there usall routine before the last home game.

Maybe Barbar has past that we don't know about so has banned gully girls so it doesn't lead him into temptation.

I had hoped that Barber's cost-cutting would have led to even skimpier outfits rather than an end to Gully's Girls.

To me gully's girls are one of the few remaining links to withdean - Ok they were amateurish then and are
amateurish now but the fact that they have some heavier girls show that they are not an elitist bunch. I still hope that the club is not going to totally sell out to the corporate ideal. The time before the amex was painful but the club and fans were really cohesive and I really loved the withdean years. Whilst I realise we have moved on and wouldn't go back, I hope that we keep some of our ideals from the past.

You have some good points here. I'm quite sensitive to how the club holds onto its/our past and in the main I'm really chuffed with how they've remained a local club despite all the changes.

With regard to GG, the amateur feel to them I think is what feels out of place. They belong to the Withdean era, as do do so many cherished players, and no one wants Darren Freeman back.

I'd also heard this, surprising move.

Seriously, no fishing here, the only fishing I indulge in involves getting your hands wet. Anyways you'll see for yourselves tomorrow. Billie will be pleased with your comments, I thank you on her behalf.

I am one of THEM

say no more

This with bells on.

I can't believe some of the stuff written on this thread.

Like any of you give a sh....er...toss... what sort of dancing they do.

Anyway. I think I might audition. What day do they train?

Looks like a lot of your colleagues have the same idea Edna. They are looking for a regular sized replacement for the one in front who they have decided it would be a bad idea to try and lift. On the flip side it's considered to dangerous to let her do the lifting, as she tends to throw the liftee out of the stadium.
Oh, and any night you can get to the rehearsal hall in the precinct.

 

[PsychoPaul]

But what about the Crystal's ... we used to argue that we wanted to compete "our birds are better than yours" - but we've capitulated [if true].
I hope we fight harder in other areas where we want to better the pikeys

To be fair the Crystals get asked to kiss & pose for photos with the Palace supporters rather than those at the Amex who hassle theirs for makeup tips.

He's got some bottle that's for sure!

[Butch Willykins]

Why would anyone watch them when there is a choice of bars selling Harvey's a short walk from you seat? I don't get it.

This would never work. We all know that black people have superior dancing skills to the Whites. Could you imagine a real police force trying to do this!! put that on NSC and you would hit gold for sure

 

[Beach Hut]

All part of the sanitisation of the home match experience, I expect there will be a dress code for all stands next.

 

[Uncle C]

If you're going to do the cheerleader thing then do it properly, and weight limits.

One or two of the girls are carrying a stone or two,

This really is cyber bullying. Can you imagine how it would feel to be one of the girls reading this, or their proud dad.

 

[Jim D]

Me and BEACH Hut are GOING to COME dancing at HALF time

Strictly?

Do they charge for it like they do when they're working?
