dune Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Be it face paint, a wig, a jesters hat, a replica shirt, a scarf or chavy stone island labels?
Toadhall Saint Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 No never not even Stone Island (which isn't fancy dress if your putting it with the others). correction - I have worn a scarf back in the 70's.
scott_saints Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Face paint- Never. I don't think. If I did I would have been part of "young saints" at The Dell Wig- Once. Strachan wig at Villa away. Don't worry, almost everyone else did it too. Jester hat- Never. Replica shirt- When I was a kid. Will only come out for Wembley trips (eg- JPT final) etc these days. Scarf- Not anymore. Did a few years ago under my jacket Stone Island- Used to wear it now and again. Bit too much of a laughing stock brand these days. How did I do?
dune Posted 9 November, 2011 Author Posted 9 November, 2011 No never not even Stone Island (which isn't fancy dress if your putting it with the others). Of course it is. It's no different to wearing a jesters hat imo. It's just another "look at me" in my football costume statement.
JRM Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Of course it is. It's no different to wearing a jesters hat imo. It's just another "look at me" in my football costume statement. Depends when you wore it, back in the 90s when no one else knew what it was it was hardly a look at me, but around the turn of the century it did become over done. Still a top Stone Island jacket is one of the best you can get, it is all the cheap knock off jumpers and fakes that make them look dreadful. i wore a scarf and a shirt as a kid growing up, as would most fans i'd imagine.
Son of Bob Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Wore a home shirt to the JPT Final and an away shirt to the FA Cup final. May have worn that white 3rd kit thing with the red collar to the FA Cup semi as well but can't really remember. To be honest I can't remember much about that day at all! Other than that... no.
krissyboy31 Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Yes. Wore an "Instant Arab" kit (tea towel and porno moustache) during Benali day away at Oldham, many moons ago also a Fez and Kazoo at Dellhurst Park.
JRM Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Yes. Wore an "Instant Arab" kit (tea towel and porno moustache) during Benali day away at Oldham, many moons ago also a Fez and Kazoo at Dellhurst Park. i remember that day, and there is a pic from it in the "cult heros" book in the Benali chapter, cracking photo
buctootim Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Stone Island is more of a humorless uniform than fancy dress. Take the point though.
Colinjb Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 A replica shirt and scarf is 'fancy dress'? Well, in that case, yes. I wear fancy dress to every game I attend.

Of course you're right. I love the old polish proverb "eagles fly high and sheep flock together" and what we have seen in recent years is an explosion in horrible teenagers clad head to toe in the most ostentatious labels - the bigger and more prominent the better. It makes me cringe far more than anyone wearing a club shirt.
dune Posted 9 November, 2011 Author Posted 9 November, 2011 A replica shirt and scarf is 'fancy dress'? Well, in that case, yes. I wear fancy dress to every game I attend. This seasons shirt is really horrible though. Hate the plastic logo.

It makes me cringe far more than anyone wearing a club shirt. Absolutely agree. I've been a masive fan of Adidas Originals trainers for years now but I'm even starting to go off those as they seem to have become the uniform of choice now.
dune Posted 9 November, 2011 Author Posted 9 November, 2011 Absolutely agree. I've been a masive fan of Adidas Originals trainers for years now but I'm even starting to go off those as they seem to have become the uniform of choice now. I've always worn adidas because that what me and my friends wore 15 years ago and i've stuck with them, but like you say they have just become so ordinary and they've never been very comfortable anyway. Reckon i'll have a pair of lacostes next time.
dubai_phil Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Got off the train for Derby Away with London Saints on Chris Marsden day a few years back. We had a lot of beer in the Micro Brewery by the Station. We all wore Condoms on our heads as we entered the ground. The comment was made that the particular LS member was never going to use them up any other way so he may as well share the packet of 12 around. We were not alone.
JustMike Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Be it face paint, a wig, a jesters hat, a replica shirt, a scarf or chavy stone island labels? sorry but how the fook is a replica shirt fancy dress??? You are getting old dune
Mattio Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 I wear one of the retro replica kits, do I get extra fancy dress points for that? I also took a giant banana to Blackburn in the relegation season and ended up in the programme of the next match! As I think it was saintkiptanui who went on about frozen bananas and arses for ages after that for some reason!

doddisalegend Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 I have a saints scarf which I take with me when it's cold other than that nothing.
KK the 2nd Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Fez for the trip to Dellhurst if that counts
Dog Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Face paint- Yes, every game Wig- Yes, every game Jester hat- No, wont fit on my red & white wig Replica shirt- Yes of course Scarf- Always wear two, one on each wrist Stone Island- Yes, Stone Island Jumper, Jeans, Boots & t-shirt.... oh hold on a minute, it's River Island. How did I do?
Pilchards Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Did the Westwood ****take at St Mary's & Fartton Park.
Fan The Flames Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 sorry but how the fook is a replica shirt fancy dress??? You are getting old dune Age has got nothing to do with it hes always acting like a ****.
Saint_lambden Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 I wear the shirt every game. So yes, I suppose I am a happy clappy, Cortese and team loving fan. So shoot me.

It makes me cringe far more than anyone wearing a club shirt. You can blame Football Factory & Green St for that! Previously SI and CP were unknown to the masses.

I've been a masive fan of Adidas Originals trainers for years now but I'm even starting to go off those as they seem to have become the uniform of choice now. I would suggest they have been the uniform of choice for many a year, just are more accessible now due to internet.
keithd Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Be it face paint - no a wig - no a jesters hat - no a replica shirt - not since about 1996 i'd say. recall wearing one at the Dell when we beat Pompey 3-0, not since i dont think. Sanderson big collar it was. Stiff breeze hit me walking along bedford road and nearly blew me to the ground unaided a scarf - see above. or chavy stone island labels? - no A pole would be better wouldnt it?
dubai_phil Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 i remember that, it wasn't at all funny any everyone who did it embarrassed the club as well as themselves that day. Yep. Was a great idea after leaving the pub. Was incredibly stupid when we saw the photos. However was one of the few parts of the actual game that I remember .....
Saint_Jonny Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 A replica shirt and scarf is 'fancy dress'? Well, in that case, yes. I wear fancy dress to every game I attend. Same. Never realised I was so into fancy dress. Maybe I can join a fancy dress club or something? Thanks Dune for pointing this out for us.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Has anyone ever seen Dune and Turkish in the same room?
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 I often dress as a Saints supporter at Crawley Town games
dune Posted 9 November, 2011 Author Posted 9 November, 2011 Maybe I can join a fancy dress club or something? Are you bored with the slimey slug ebay fraudster club already?
dune Posted 9 November, 2011 Author Posted 9 November, 2011 Has anyone ever seen Dune and Turkish in the same room? Turkish is losing his trolling abilities and has been dispatched ooop north for further training.
Saint_Jonny Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Are you bored with the slimey slug ebay fraudster club already? You crack me up, Dune. Go and get some fresh air mate, might do you some good.
simo Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Banana man costume at west brom away a few years ago count?
The Cat Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Never worn any fancy dress or a replica shirt to a game. Went to Liverpool last away game of the season in 2004 (I think) when we drew 0-0 and had a Pink Panther costume to wear but couldn't bring myself to do it. No idea why I even thought that would be a good idea in the first place! Probably would have collapsed if I had worn it as it was really hot and I was severely dehydrated due to spending the previous evening on the lash in Liverpool.
astrasri Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Banana man costume at west brom away a few years ago count? Started reading this thread and immediately thought of Banana Man at that game any likelyhood of a re-appearance?
Right sider Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Last game of season away! Had tea towel on my head at Oldham for Franny. Viking costume at Villa for Ostenstat Strachan hat at Cardiff Fa Cup Oh and I wear a saints shirt at matches!!!!!
Griffo Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 I wear a Saints shirt to every game but I make sure I can just about squeeze it over my hoody!
Johnny Bognor Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 One of the funniest things I've seen was against Villa at home a few years back. A scrap errupted between Yates and Que Pasa involving Saints Lads and a load of Villa in fancy dress. Was quite comical watching batman, superman et al have a go.
Turkish Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 I love getting fancy dressed up at football, there is nothing quite like it. Away from the internet i'm quite a dull and bland person really who struggles to engage in meaningful conversations with people. Getting dressed in hilarious outfits is a good way to show everyone that i am a little bit, well mad and not as boring as i look and really do know how to have fun. I've got loads of brilliant outfits that show how crazy i am. As well as the standard face paints, jester hats and/or wig for games together with my giant foam hands i've got loads of other truely MENTAL costumes for special occasions. I've gone to games in the past dressed in many nutty outfits, probably the one i had the biggest laugh in though was a red gimp suit i wore to Peterborough away last season and a similar one to the Pompey home game in the cup last year. That really drew attention to myself with everyone seeing how mad i am. The whole day was one long LOLathon.
Johnny Bognor Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 I often dress as a Saints supporter at Crawley Town games Give me a shout if you want tickets. A good mate of mine is MD of GFS. Have enjoyed Corporate Hospitality a few times, the most recent being against Shrewsbury. A good day out when Saints aren't playing or I can't see them away.
Turkish Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Started reading this thread and immediately thought of Banana Man at that game any likelyhood of a re-appearance? I'll surprise you and wear it at a game this season, look out for me, i'll be the nutty chap laughing with everyone.
DJ_TOAST Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 Fez and Kazoo at Dellhurst Par aye that...was quality day. replica shirt when I was a nipper, standard. stone island before c*nts latched onto it...me old si jacket prob fav bit of clothing ever had.
Turkish Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 The only fancy dress i drew the line at were the racist ginger wigs and kilts supposed to "honour" Strachan, that was disgraceful. No wonder he left.
Give it to Ron Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 (edited) I've gone to games in the past dressed in many nutty outfits, probably the one i had the biggest laugh in though was a red gimp suit i wore to Peterborough away last season and a similar one to the Pompey home game in the cup last year. That really drew attention to myself with everyone seeing how mad i am. The whole day was one long LOLathon. I actually know the lad that wore that red gimp suit......I will ask him if you can borrow it for the game down there. Edited 9 November, 2011 by Give it to Ron being a gimp
Griffo Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 I actually know the lad that wore that red gimp suit......I will ask him if you can borrow it for the game down there. He looked about 12.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 I often go dressed as a tramp - if you could see my latest bank statement you'd understand why.
dune Posted 9 November, 2011 Author Posted 9 November, 2011 Were the gimps at Peterborough the gimp from the Pompey game and his mates?
