The Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD) is proud to announce that we’re declaring today Pinocchio Day at The Valley, as we invite you to come together at 5pm to celebrate the well-loved children’s story, first published in Italy in 1883.
To add to the fun, we’ve produced 2,000 Pinocchio masks (see below) for children, young and old, to wear at The Valley this afternoon, as well as 10,000 Pinocchio stickers.
There are also 1,000 specially produced beermats going out to the local pubs, so if you’re visiting before the game you can make sure that the drinks are on Pinocchio.
After the football, please come and join us in the west stand car park at The Valley, where we can all join together to celebrate this special fictional character with community singing – and we plan to have one or two extra surprises for you (oh, and the football club) then too.
More seriously, we remind you that CARD does not condone or promote illegal actions and that the police have advised us that anyone bringing a flare to our Pinocchio event is likely to be arrested.
Very clever idea. Should prove media popular and tees the club up to make another PR gaff. Will the stewards confiscate them I wonder. I trust they meet H&S regs!

Well done.
* legal notice. The above comment was a joke. I do not encourage people to behave that way. You are responsible for your own actions
No doubt Katrien is, right now, on the 'phone to Disney's copyright lawyers......
Well thought out idea that should get media attention
If you can get a load of the 3000 free kids to wear them that will hurt Katrien
Negatives
Once again it's a distraction during the game and won't help the team
I won't be there today but good luck with it especially the 5pm protest
Love it!
