    what if they "Black up" in the bogs once inside the ground then all congregate

    Together .. the stewards/police would have no chance of evicting them all.

    To be fair mate, I haven't expressed an opinion on it. I've just put forward the argument as I understand it. I don't know what I think to be honest. I don't think banning people is the right way to go, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen anyway. And the Hartlepool fans have said they don't even intend to black up. I was just making the point that it's not as simple as dressing up as a well known celebrity, there's a lot of baggage that comes with it.

    Imagine the confusion if they decided to go as Michael Jackson.

    80s Jacko-brown
    90s Jacko-white

    I'm pretty sure your mouth would come out in blisters.

    We had an eating competition in the 90's at my local at the time, The Victory in Pinner.

    The only lass that entered, amongst the stupid/greedy blokes, ate 50 tomatoes.

    Shortly afterwards, she was carted off to A&E with a badly blistered mouth (must be some kind of acid in them, harmful in large quantities).

    However, look on the bright side, won't take you long to fly to the nearest hossie with your new wings, and healthcare should be free in Spain if you got one of those EU medical cards.

    Re: The Black & White Minstrels, Al Jolson....really

    My mum god bless her used to love the black and white minstrels and she hadn't got a racist bone in her body, but you are also looking at a time when n****r brown was seen as a legitimate description of a colour.

    And that Jacko sums up this non argument. No offence meant by calling you Jacko.
