You can get stretched at that price.

 

Better in the good old days when you had one mascot per game and they didn't get charged.

 

I'm sure there are plenty of clubs who charge for the pleasure. But it would be really nice if we weren't one of them.

 

Does that include vat?

 

Ha, I just checked and it does.

 

Plus the cost of a full kit.

 

When my children were chosen to be mascots there was no charge - the whole experience was very well organised and they had a brilliant time (no meal included.)
Don't think I'd be willing to pay £199.
