Latics and England Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It's rare that I read the official site these days but I have just been reading the following article http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/200912-work-experience-378830.aspx Can you be match mascot more than once these days? When I was growing up it was a massive deal with little chance of being drawn out of the hat. You certainly didn't get a second go. Just wondered how it works now.

jsslatic Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'm more amazed he spent time in the 'media department', presumably helping Billy work out how to turn the computer on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably aren't enough candidates to impose an 'only once' rule nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 My lad got to do it twice. Home v Leeds and away at Peterborough. The second time it was me who put his name forward but reminded them he'd done it before and others should get priority. Apparently nobody else wanted to drag themselves down the A1 so my lad got the gig. Posh did a brilliant hospitality job on us by the way.

LaticsPete Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Mine did it twice too. Just lucky having his name pulled out of the hat at Boundary Blues... Never had mascots in my young days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Draws are made at Boundary Blues Christmas & end of season parties from attendees on the night. If you were drawn to be a mascot in the first half of the season then you can't enter the draw for the second half as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I got picked out one of the first ever times I could, for Oldham vs Luton, November 1994. I was 7 and it finished 0-0. I seem to remember it was 2 years or something like that before I was re-elegible. That game was my one and only though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
