Did anyone see Hercules (or Bella) larking about with a dustbin after Everton scored thier second last night. He appeared to be implying, quite rightly, that what we were sadly witnessing was, to put it midly, rubbish!
Thing is, I don't think the furry lion re-appeared after half time. Does anyone know why? Do you think the club took a dim view of the bin antics. Trivial in the greater scheme of things I know but it would be typical of the way things are being done at B6 at the moment if it turned out that theclub had taken some form of action over it.
-
I've got a mental image of someone in a lion's mascot outfit sitting on the bus home having been given their cards at half time
-
our two best players
-
The bloke at the front of the upper holte was giving it some.
-
It was certainly the only entertainment I got from anyone in claret & blue last night. I still haven't seen our goal. I was halfway up Trinity Road by then.
-
It was Bella, it was very funny. She normally sits there on an upturned bin. After their second she got up and turned it over and stuck her head in it. Then stood up and tried to put it over her head. And we noticed she wasn't there in the second half.

Oh Christ, I hope she doesn't ring up Franskey later.

I don't know what happened in this case, but there's something sinister about the club clamping down on any dissent at Villa Park. They're not so quick to act when our name is being dragged through the shit in the media.
-
One thing I've always wondered, who would one get the job of being the mascot? I would love to do it just once.
Sorry, kids.... What I meant to say was, where do those lions live when we're not playing home games?

You're right about the way the people currently running the Club are clamping down - the thing is what on earth do they hope they can achieve? There is no way they can keep a lid on the shit storm they have created.

Since this was the main topic of his conversation on the drive back into town last night, I am beginning to think that Mr Shin has an unhealthy interest in Mrs Bella Lion

Sight of her bent over definitely went in the bank!
Enjoy the image folks.
-
The image of Bella's rear or you making a bank 'withdrawal' over it ?
-
Whichever works best for you Dave.

We've reached yet another low
-
Ok but i'm sending you the bill for the therapy

I half expected them to lock all the gates just before the 74th minute so no one could leave!!

It appears they can sack a lion (a symbol of the club) but still have a fox causing as much mayhem as a real one would do in a chicken run.
Not the first mascot to get the push - didn't Hercules get fired for groping Bella some years ago?

But did you grope Bella? And was it worth it?

Pretty worried that Bella may now be facing unemployment along with the Sexual Harrassment Panda.
-
I've got to say I hope so...that is brilliant. I wish I had seen it!!
-
I can't believe this thread hasn't ascended into a pun-a-thon. Have you no pride?
-
The actor who played Hercules back then used to post on H&V back in The Manilla Period.
Went by the name of Graham if the old synapses are firing correctly, and had some kind of mobile food operation business.
-
Didn't he specialize in Zebra burgers?
-
It is said that he did but I have never seen anything in black and white.
-
Can anyone confirm if she has been binned?
-
Dust speculation.

He was an utter wanker. Look at me, I can shout something nasty when it is quiet.

They aren't clamping down on any thing really. Another unfortunate press spin to kick us that everyone is ready to believe as they don't trust the board not to do anything that isn't the most appalling thing you can think up.

Posted here as well before a ban for being an argumentative, racist, idiot if I recall correctly. Posted as Graham Poll.

Oh, right. I'm sure I read something on here about a fan being ejected for saying things to Fox, and others having banners taken off them.

Was he the bloke who threw his scarf on the pitch? Everyone in the Upper Holte was laughing at him - looked like a steward gave it him back...

She wasn't ejected for saying something rude to Fox and it wasn't at his request as was reported.

He had lon hair and was in the front row of the Upper, above where I sit.
He had a very loud, look at me, shouty moan the first time it went quiet after they took the lead. As some clapped him, he tried to perform the same trick every five minutes from there on out.

Gavin was his name of the old Hercules,and at the time he was a good mate of mine,same school,Sunday league,the Kingfisher in Great Barr etc.
He swore that he did absolutely nothing untoward to be hung out to dry,but his modus operandi was 6 pints in the Yew Tree prior to reporting for duty at 1400.He used to claim he required the hydration as the suit was ferkin hot.To be fair,he was absolutely fantastic at creating a little atmosphere.He ended up on TGI Friday's with Chris Evans at the culmination of the whole episode.
Bumped into him in the Trinity against Blues,He's still coming up from the Big Smoke for us to ruin his weekends.

I agree that it is unfortunate everyone believes the worst about the board but I'd say they've brought that turn of events on themselves to a large degree.

Exactly. This stuff is so believable for a reason.

Is this Gavin also known as "Ozzy"?

Lee Preece would tell you a different story and their are two sides to every story.
The bigger problem is that their PR is piss poor and we have been so woefully mismanaged people just assume the worst. Which is understandable.

Was thinking I've not seen Hercules at the match for ages, what happened?
-
He can't afford Heck's prices.
-
He was happy enough using the ground to get married, bloody hypocrite.

He's probably not allowed to go any more.

You've already won 2025's "Thread Dredge" award, eight years and nine months will take some beating. Congrats!

Yup, Titanic submarine level dive.

Binned off by Heck, because he wants to attract adults in at top dollar, not some kid who might fall in love with the club and give a lifetime value of many thousands, long after Heck has gone.

Sold to Chelsea in the summer in a PSR beating ruse.
We sold them Hercules for 10m and in a totally separate deal, they sold us theirs, “Cockney Wankah” for 11m.
-
What about the lion cub (Chip ?) ?
He disappeared years ago. We should be told what happened.
Is he dead, been returned to the wild or what ?
It's all a strange set up.
The Hercules and Bella wedding was the second* weirdest halftime I've witnessed at Villa
(* after, of course, nearly killing Santa)

This made me chuckle. Marvellous.
