Or at least when his Mrs came on the scene.....but oh know, we know who's in the suit, we can't say it will be total crap.
I rest my case....although Pottermiss is now a bloke apparently so if it's love anyone unsure on the 'ins and outs' (ooo err missus) should consult Ricky Gervais' "Animals" for further information.
PS- Yes, I have only just read Saturday's Oatcake.

The idea of having a Pottermiss came from the idea of the 'original' Pottermiss!(who is longer available) Also I would guess that all of you are too old to appreciate what an important part of a matchday for the young kids that the two Hippos are, thats all part of growing up............and honestly some of you WILL grow up!

as on the 'everything else' forum, you will see that, i have passed my refereeing course *claps* and im prety sure that linesman, o sorry assistant referees can not send players off, but then again, pottermuss isnt a player, and to be perfectly honest i havent got a clue what the dea is with masscots, we havent come accross that.
but netherless, you cant get confused between a hippo and a player can you, if you do you shouldnt be in the game, saying that a fair % of referees and referees assistnats arent fit to be in the game

I think the best hippo moment came when he grappled with readings lion and ended up running off with his head, doing the length of the sentinal stand with it held aloft.

given our ability to start and spread bull-shit rumours better than any other supporters in the country, maybe we should start one about Pottermiss? 'Someone in Fluid last Saturday told me she's been shagging the below mascot behind Hippo's back. They've bought a flat together in Dresden'  |

I remember Hippo being funnier in his previous incarnation but didn't the FA have to inroduce a code of conduct after the Wolf v 3 Pigs fight a few years back?
It's behave or get banned and with our disciplinary record Hippo could be walking a tightrope!!

Didn't the guy who used to be in the hippo suit go to Wolves and replace the original Wolfie a few years back? Quite sad but I seem to remember someone telling me they had to replace him. Either that or I've been hallucinating about hippos again  |

Yep so I didn't imagine it then.

For Not_Nick_H and all the other impoverished bastards that don't buy an The Oatcake (why exactly?!)...
Taken from Issue 344, Watford at home, Saturday 6th March 2004
Whatever happened to...Hippo?
AS MUCH of football mourns the passing of 'Gentle Giant' John Charles we at The Oatcake would like to commemorate the passing of one of our own great club institutions- The Hippo!
After years of entertaining the fans at the Britannia Stadium we now have to concede that Hippo is dead (in the entertainment aspect of things) and should be laid to rest peacefully before he, and we, suffer any more.
We can treasure the memories of his goal celebration with Graham Kavanagh, his constant run-ins with referees and linesmen, his hysterical baiting of opposing fans and his wonderful clashes with opposing mascots. All moments of pure comedy gold- especially the incident where he stole the Nuneaton Borough mascot's head and legged it around the running track with it in his hand while the headless Nuneaton dog chased after him.
It all started to go wrong when the man inside the costume was tempted away by more money to Wolves and the final nail in the coffin was provided by the introduction of Hippopottermiss. Just like that brat Scrappy-Doo ruined the legendry Scooby-Doo, so a new character at the Britannia Stadium finally saw to the sad demise of our own little legend.
Farewell Hippo, you will be missed.
Hippopottermus... 1997-2004 RIP.

Scooby Dumb must take some of the blame as well. Scrappy had a lot to answer for.
Think I've only ever bought The oatcake 3 or 4 times. It's like a 30 feet trek over to the chap selling it from where I park so buggered if I'm going all that way.
Poochie kind of ruined the Itchy and Scratchy show I felt but he sadly died on the way back to his home planet.

We should petition the club to get someone with more carisma back inside the hippo costume! A mighty Oatcake campagin! I'll throw my hat into the ring! Anyone else intersested, or is it just me stupid enough? |

I think we should replace him with Bernie Clifton and his comedy ostrich. Would pack em in and imagine the array of souvenirs bearing his hysterical grim we would sell.

That bloke (cant remember his name) with spit the dog. Only replace the dog with hippo, possibly.
Or get Emu out of retirement.
Imagine chasing the Refs ass' up and down the touch line!
Picture it, go on, i have its funny ;D

I did hear rumours that Emu was touring on his own after the death of Rod Hull but not sure if true.
Bob Carolgees had Spit the Dog. Very seedy looking dude he was...Bob C not the dog.
Remember Roger De Coursey and Nookie bear? Possibly the worst ventriloquist ever. His lips moved less when he was actually talking.

Ah nooky bear, my nan had a puppet of him when i was very young.
Theres a bloke who always goes into Creation who is the stunt double of Bob Carolgees, in fact one nite while i was in the DJ dock the DJ spotted him and did the spit noise, the guy has clearly heard it before. He didn't look amused! I was ;D
