Mascots..... are they worth it?

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

No real opinion on what they’re “worth” but I would say they’ll be a lot more to it than just rocking up at the ground for a couple of hours for home games.

There’s always some sort of event going on that the mascot seems to be in the background. I noticed they were at the MRI with the players earlier in the week for example.

Nobody can see who’s in it though. So maybe if we’re struggling with FFP we could just sack them and make injured players take it turns to stick the outfit on? Or Phillips if everyone is fit.

It has all the hallmarks of the humiliating forfeit:
‘Get the f*cker on’

Heard on the radio yesterday how much some of the Mascots are paid. Never said about Moonchester but.

The Fulham Badger is on £17.5 k per annum (the lowest paid) and Arsenals Goonersaurus, the highest paid is £70k. Unbelievable, £70k to get exclusive behind the scenes access all areas and to the players and a brilliant view to watch your team play.

I do wonder what Mooncester gets.

How much would you expect to get paid at City and how much do you thing RedFred pays?

Redfred is probably on a six year 350k a week contract no matter what he does…

The day I was Moonchester (v Liverpool in Yankee Stadium 2014) neither of City's mascots were paid. Moonbeam had to pay her own fare, inward travel and hotels to the US. Moonchester didn't go hence i was doing it in NY and 2 others wherever the other games were. Moonchester at the tine said she even had to buy a ticket for away games.

In contrast, we got changed in the same room as the Liverpool Liver bird mascot who was a full time employee of the club (along with his "minder".)
Their airfare, rental car and hotels paid for. Back on Merseyside they visit schools doing educational stuff each day along with hospital visits etc

I think Mascots are always worth the money. They make the day better everyone and create memories for families that last a life time. It's also about community as well and the mascots visit hospitals, schools and other community events.

If a Premier League club can waste 100k a week on rubbish players like Sancho who doesn't even play a game. Then they can afford 20k a year on a Mascot who does a better job than Ten Hag currently does at the swamp.

From inside knowledge a few years ago Fred the red got £75 per game & moonchester got Fook all. Not sure now but I’m going back about 5 years
