Bishop Briggs Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Reading are not pleased - "Reading FC mascot Kingsley Royal's name smeared by copycat". "A Scottish football club have marred the name of Royals' mascot by calling their own hideous mascot Kingsley. Kingsley Royal has been part of the furniture at Reading FC since 1997, but many football fans will now associate his christian name with Partick Thistle's terrifying new figurehead." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It was always going to get some bad press. The Telegraph called it terrifying though. What precious lambs they are. It's wee shame for them being scared like that. Precious lambs indeed. Obviously never crossed the canal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Generally not a fan of fancy dress but I'll be disappointed if there isn't a Kingsley themed away day at some point this season. Great idea! I met this lot on the escalator at Euston station a couple of years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been phenomenal. Don't think anyone at the club expected it to be as huge as it has been 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 How can this be either 'shameful' or a 'PR disaster?' For starters it's knocked a provincial Scottish club completely viral. So PR job done. Secondly, it's fucking completely and utterly bonkers to the point of total genius. I don't see how anyone can be negative about something quite so gloriously horrifying. Utter nightmare material for under 7s. One of those things that in years to come will haunt the toddlers of today's dreams well into their teenage years, buried firmly in their subconsciene and never quite understanding if they actually saw it or was a figment of their childhood imagination. And that's healthy, it builds character. A bit like me with the scary balloon thing in the moomins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's annoying the most pointless and boring club in England, then I'm even happier about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine several hundred Kingsleys walking down the road towards you. Just imagine it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
