Mascots

[TiffToff88]

Just having a conversation with the Mrs about Filbert and it got me wondering... What happened to Vicky Vixen and Cousin Dennis? 

 

Clearly Filbert and Vicky had some sort of messy divorce because it seems like she just disappeared off the face of the earth one day.

 

I like to think Cousin Dennis took a gap year to travel the world and then came back and took a cushy job in I.T. somewhere...

 

Is there any genuine reason why they were created and then just as suddenly stopped being a thing?

Cousin Dennis hit the bottle and Vicky went off to work in a Vegas strip club. Poor Filbert is receiving therapy but the club has hushed it all up to protect its family image.

Think it was Vicky and NPs son in Thailand that got caught in an embarrassing situation. Less said the better and just move on. Shameful.

I was mascot in the Anglo Italian Cup vs West Brom when the Carling Stand was being built, attendance was about 3000 and I had the shits about 5 mins before kick off and kept the players waiting to come out. Had my photo taken with Richard Smith when I'd been promised Steve Thompson (wasn't in the squad). 

 

The most unsavoury part of the night wasn't any of that though, or the heinous 0-0 game, it was being taken in to the changing rooms with my Dad, which were some temporary portacabins by David Lowe and Ormondroyd were stood there with his frank and beans out.

Apparently the club got rid of them because they were sending in silly birthday requests to be put out pre game.

If Filbert and Vicky were an item then whose cousin was Dennis, Filberts or Vickys?

[orangecity23]

How does that Thai version of Filbert fit into the family tree as well? You know the one, turns up in photos when the club visits there, looks like they didn't bother looking at a photo and just vaguely described him down the phone for someone to do an artists impression of him.

 

EDIT

That's the one officer. By the looks of it, he's definitely the Wayne to Filbert's Gary Lineker.

West Brom used to have a bloke dressed up as a combi boiler walking round the pitch didn’t they? That’s either true or I need to go and seek professional help. 
 

or woman, not wanting to assume the gender of a boiler.

Apparently the board were looking to meet the needs of supporters on FoxesTalk, hence losing Vikki and Dennis and replacing them with extra police around the ground.

They finally swapped The cop and the family brand…

 

 

I’ll get me coat…

Still going strong the 'ideal boiler' mascot.

They stopped going down after getting caught trying to seek in a "large sandwich " "

Stewards took it of them and they haven't been since .

Found one picture of it on Google. This mascot was at games for a season or so when they were our shirt sponsor.
