There will be a Boundary Blues mascot at every home game and some away games.
The child who did it against Southampton had been and bought some items from the club shop, so, had a bag with some things in but they were not part of the mascot package. They do not get a kit, they have to supply their own. Not only had they paid the club to be mascot, they had also bought a kit and some other items.
BB mascots have to supply their own kit as we cannot fund kits for all the kids, nor can we keep a kit for them to borrow in every size!! We used to have a spare kit but it wasn't worth it as it was hardly ever used. We have never had a complaint from a parent about a child having to wear the kit. There is no obligation for the child to accept the mascot place, we always check with the parents.
A child can be a member of BB for £10. If they are mascot and have to buy a kit, I think it costs £30. Therefore an outlay of £40. They are given 2 complimentary tickets, a tour of the dressing room to get autographs, a look behind the scenes (inc physio room, refs) time in the players lounge, programme, trophy, certificate, kickabout on the pitch, lead the teams out.
