Billy the Badger - Badger Watch

This is on the Offal as well, but I'm loving the profile we're getting thanks to Super Billy.

Billy the Badger - Super Mascot strikes again

Billy was back in the limelight on Sunday having to be removed from the pitch by referee Chris Foy before the second half could kick off. He even got a mention on MOTD2, though oddly guest pundit Chris Coleman claimed not to remember him being there when he was in charge. Clearly Billy must have been a more reserved badger back then!

Billy the Badger - New Cult Hero

Since Fulham introduced Billy the Badger as our new mascot a few seasons back he has been slowly growing on me. Most top clubs have a mascot of some kind and I think it's a good thing to keep the kids interest up and encourage new young supporters. The badger was a nice idea being a) black and white and b) a bit unusual. I don't know of another professional football team with a badger as a mascot. Anyone who remembers the club's first attempt to introduce a mascot will surely appreciate they have done a much better job this time around. Sir Craven was in principle a good idea but very poorly executed. Apologies to the guy who WAS Sir Craven, as I know he is a big Fulham fan, but my overriding memory of him was the wobbly shield and hat that looked like it had been made for a junior school project. Billy looks much more professional and has now achieved cult status (in my book) by accosting Avram Grant on the way back from the half time break. Classic.
