    Don't know the name of the guy who pulls it on but I have heard that over the years Keith Lard has enjoyed pulling it off.

    Do you know how hard it is to get a 7ft bulldog to testify?

    Going back quite a few years .At one time the guy in the suit was called David Winnard ( I think I've got his surname right ) ...prior to to climbing into the suit and becoming Toby he sat next to my mother along with his dad in the west stand ....that's why toby always climbed into the west stand terrace and went up the steps to the top tier if he was giving anything away...or just to say hello and to check on his dad..it even continued for many a year even after his dad moved Stands due to I'll health...
    If David is a member on here Joan says hello and asks about your dad ....

    I'd like someone to run round the field dressed as a well, with an oak tree growing out of their head. That would keep the kids entertained.

    I read on here a few years back that it was a lad who worked at Croppers on Wellington Street. He's multi talented if he can tile and do dog impersonations as well

    Love Toby. I believe he ought to be on all our club merchandise. It saddens me that my head's too big for the kids' hats.

    Bring back the "Toby Tyke was here" stickers.

    Although I think I am a bit too old to start sticking them everywhere.
