New Mascots - Valiant & Robin
Comments

The knight was okay but that Robin looked more like a sort of brown chicken. Where did they get that costume - the Asda Halloween £3 range?8

I want the club to confirm that Floyd and Harvey won't be put down. The club should have the decency to fund their retirement in a specialist mascot home so they can see out their days with their own kind. The rumours of interest from the pet food industry are shocking.2

Unless you're a young kid who gets something out of it; thus helping develop you're long term support of CAFC!iainment said:What a pile of cack.

My daughter was unimpressed yesterday, particulalry with the knight. I pointed out that they were not aimed at her (she's 14, so is unimpressed by most things). And as if to prove my point loads of little kids rushed down with proud parents to get pictures taken at just that moment.
We sit in the Family Stand, but most of the kids around us are teenagers who are never going to like any mascot. Hopefully the knight symbolises the new combative spirit shown on the pitch

Already confirmed that they are retiring to the Charlton Athletic Museum although they haven't turned up yet.SantaClaus said:I want the club to confirm that Floyd and Harvey won't be put down.

From where I was sitting the expression on Robin's face looked like he/she was being taken from behind by an elephant! Never got this mascot thing and these two are an embarrassment.6

"Embarrasment"

I think we should hunt them. Red replica shirts, real ale from the west stand, vuvuzelas instead of horns, riding on the back of mutant QPR fans, leaping over the fences of SE7, to be cornered and offered to Leicester City fans by way of a symbolic apology to all hunted foxes.SantaClaus said:I want the club to confirm that Floyd and Harvey won't be put down.

The Robin was drawn by a kid. A KID! What did you expect? Something by Constable or Turner?cafcfan said:The knight was okay but that Robin looked more like a sort of brown chicken. Where did they get that costume - the Asda Halloween £3 range?
I'm sure the Club paid a fair amount for that outfit. I'm sure you couldn't find it in any Asda bin.
And I'm sure that they could have made sure that the Robin was anatomically correct for you. Don't worry, I'm sure that the kid wouldn't have minded at all that the mascot didn't look anything like their drawing...
Some people are so far up their own arse it's incredible...2 -

Ginger bird with them looked alright but I wasn't close enough. Pics anyone?4

If you get 'embarrased' by a kids mascot then you need help.7

I think she had to guide the robin as he couldn't see properly. Maybe Delboy forgot to cut some eye holes in it when he sold us the costume. At least he let Jackson and Henderson borrow his van to deliver a ticket! You know it makes sense!Numbers said:Ginger bird with them looked alright but I wasn't close enough. Pics anyone?

Thought that myself. Much easier on the eye than the mascots!Numbers said:Ginger bird with them looked alright but I wasn't close enough. Pics anyone?

Do you not understand the difference between a kid winning a design competition and bringing that design to fruition? We all get that puppet/cartoon representations are not precisely correct but they are clever representations. And that design was a deserving winner but needed some gentle tweaking to take it into the realms of three dimensions.East_Stand_Loopy said:

In an age when Pixar makes incredible representations of various imaginary creatures, kids will be the harshest critics of anything not up to quite exacting standards. Well, that's my opinion anyway.0 -
They were making their League debut, it was a very hot day.
The mascot squad is a bit thin with two old favourites
going on a free to the Museum.
Phil Chapple is in Paris Disneyland, expect a new signing before the window shuts.

I'm never going to look at the Robin again without thinking about this quote.

I think the club can turn this round and turn it into a saga shown on the big screen or as a photo cartoon strip in the programme. Floyd and Harvey have been captured by an evil museum curator and face a life behind glass. He has planted his equally evil Robin imposter and dark Knight to stop the kids complaining. The dark night can turn against the robin and Henry - sorry the curator (a bit like star wars) rescue Floyd and Harvey and leave the Robin with the curator. There could be a new episode every week. Just who will play the curator?
Then we could have the knight , Floyd and Harvey as mascots and there is scope to rest one of the three for every game which will also give the opportunity for repairs. I'd happily write a script. 0 -

I doubt very much that Tom Hanks would agree to wearing a cardigan - even if for genuine artistic reasons.MuttleyCAFC said:

I don't mid the cardie jokes, even though it was a zip up jumper, but I draw the line at socks and sandals. Never, never, never.

Perhaps you should base it around the new mascots when they are phased out and put in a glass case; you could call it Knight at the Museum.MuttleyCAFC said:
