SaintSarah Posted 22 June, 2011 Share Posted 22 June, 2011 All the home mascots are drawn at random from the junior saints members-£15 yr, away mascots are on application first come first served basis.

scott_saints Posted 22 June, 2011 Share Posted 22 June, 2011 Same as it used to be then. I was a mascot and was drawn out randomly as I was a member of what was then "young saints". Sheffield United FA cup game at the dell in about 2000ish. 1-0. Good day. Beattie was late turning up and got told off by Hoddle. Kachloul was doing allsorts of tricks with the ball in the changing room for the sake of it. Dodd was a very decent bloke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypward Posted 22 June, 2011 Share Posted 22 June, 2011 How do i sign the nipper up to Junior Saints? didn't realise it was still going! His grandad is trying to pollute him with Manchester United buy buying him pyjamas etc and I (and thankfully he) is having none of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypward Posted 22 June, 2011 Share Posted 22 June, 2011 http://tinyurl.com/6xf2gga Brilliant. Thank you for your valuable and highly original input. I searched the Saints site before posting and couldn't find anything (not saying it's not there, but if it is I couldn't spot it). I stupidly thought that asking the question on a Saints forum might be fruitful... FYI - The link you kindly provided me with one hit - the official site's 2009-2010 Junior Saints application form. For anyone else who isn't a complete knob, any pointers would be welcomed (many thanks - I'm not normally so grumpy)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 22 June, 2011 Share Posted 22 June, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Membership/0,,10280,00.html It's on the Saints website if you look hard enough. Though it's of no help at all, and I'm not sure they updated it last year either. On the bright side, I'm in that photo, with the camera in front of my face behind the blonde girl.

oldsarum Posted 22 June, 2011 Share Posted 22 June, 2011 Does anybody have any experience of their son, daughter, relation being a mascot for Saints? Does anyone have any advise? I managed to organise for my son to be mascot at Brentford two seasons ago. This was done directly with Brentford, nothing to do with Saints even though my son is Junior Saint member I think it normally costs a little to be mascot at away game but helped by a fellow London Saint who's on Middlesex FA my sons mascot appearence was free. He had a brilliant evening mixing with the players in the dressing room before the game, getting all the teams autographs and the players and staff, especially Alan Pardew were brilliant with him and made him feel completely at home. He then lead the team out onto the pitch with Jose Fonte We have got many photo's of the day including great one of him on the pitch with Fonte, ref, opposing captain before the game. If you get the chance to get your kids as mascot I'd recoomend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted 22 June, 2011 Share Posted 22 June, 2011 My grandson was lucky enough to be Saints mascot at Anfield 28/12/2004. He was made really welcome by LFC and had photos with LFC players. He also had photos with Saints players in the dressing room prior to the game. For some reason that day, HR dropped Peter Crouch and we met him in the bar prior to the game and he was none too happy! G-son led the team out onto the pitch. Sadly we lost 1-0. Some time into Jan, he was sent a superb photo album of the day by LFC. The weather going up was really bad and it took us 7 hours to reach Liverpool but it was worth it, just to see him as Saints mascot! Hope you manage to get your lad to do it.

Drove up in yes, the worst weather. Florent Sinama Pongolle scored the only goal I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John D Posted 22 June, 2011 Share Posted 22 June, 2011 My nephew was mascot at Colchester away on boxing day a couple of seasons ago. My dad wrote to the club to ask if he could be one and was given this game. Home games are decided by a draw for Junior Saints members. My nephew had a great day and as his Dad doesn't like footy I got to be the responsible adult for the day. Meant I didn't drink before game though. He got to meet all the players and get pictures/autographs etc. He went into the dressing room (it was smaller than most lounges so no wonder they moved grounds) and had kickabout with home team mascots. He also got to take a penalty at half time in front of the saints fans. Sadly he put it wide of the post. Also his mum, grandma, brother and sister were allowed into the ground for free just to watch him run out. When they got back to the car just after kick off they had been blocked in the pub car park so basically had to sit out the whole game in the pub waiting for full time. No surprise they were a bit worse for wear when we turned up All in all a great day for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewpylew Posted 23 June, 2011 Share Posted 23 June, 2011 I have just applied for my football mad 7 year old so fingers crossed they still have space. If not I will sign him up for young saints and keep everything crossed. My friend's daughter was a mascot At St Mary's a year or so ago. They all had a fantastic time and were Very well looked after : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
