[Albion] We need a flock of (inflatable) seagulls ready to greet the invasion of (inflatable) haddock

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Would be brilliant if the seagulls that lurk on the Amex roof were to mistake inflatable haddock for real ones. Swoop, my beauties! SWOOP!

Not at the start of the game when the flame throwers are going. Roast seagull, anyone?

Reposition them at the away end and melt all those plastic fish

 

[Lenny Rider]

This. Loads of them up there. I have a feeling that many of them came from the Gulls Eye coach. @Lenny Rider am I remembering correctly? If so did you have anything else inflatable on there

34 years ago, believe or not. We had some VHS videos that now have a world wide ban, frying pans and farm animals, enough said.

One of my entrepreneurial associates has already looked at prices of the aforementioned Seagulls this very morning, however I would imagine the club wouldn’t let anyone sell them anywhere near the stadium?

Just another thing for Barber to ban.

Barber OUT

Indeed, l mean if he bans bottle tops then surely haddock, (inflatable or otherwise), should fall foul of the same criteria?

I certainly wouldn't want to be slapped around the face with a wet fish . . . cue an avalanche of Monty Python jokes.

Superb.....

But you accept that there is a real risk of seagull/inflatable haddock collision?

 

[A1X]

Our Paul will just insist that any inflatable seagulls bought in have to have the cap from the inflating tube removed before they're allowed in

To be fair, that was actually on my mind.

Even if you swerve tax dodging Amazon, you are still likely to be buying something deeply usustainable made in human-rights-abusing China.

We can't help being Brighton.

 

[Swansman]

Its either that or my rent.

Tough one.

Well, Brighton has the only Green MP.

 

[Taybha]

Ours will be a bit tricky to inflate with no stoppers on them

 

[Jack Straw]

In related news, listening to 5Live whilst out surveying the frozen tundra of the South Downs earlier this morning, by all accounts Southampton banned the inflatable haddocks initially, but reversed the decision and allowed Grimsby fans to take them along last night.

Common sense prewhaled.

 

[faoileán]

Grimsby's inflatable haddocks are one of the great sights of English football and for me is a perfect antidote to stupid feckers like Palace's Holmesdale Fanatics in their black hoodies pretending to be ultras. The only issue I have is that the inflatable seagulls available for sale are rubbish. How quick can Barber commission one in the shape of our badge's seagull?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

We've got to get past these minnows for goodness hake! We can hook a Plaice at Wembley providing we play wth Sole and don't Flounder

Five fishy puns in one short post.

Mightily impressive if l may say so.

I wasn't going to bother, but you do make a strong argument to join in the fun.

Good grief - What an inhospitable attitude to our away fans!

We should be handing out complimentary bags of lovely hot chips to every Grimsby fan to enjoy while they sit and watch the game
