Great idea.
A soccer badge from every home team must be pinned to the hat????
I'll wear it to bed with the missus and can do a video instead of a pic

Went to the post office...sorry, mail ofiice.....and posted the hat off to Ireland. The girl behind the counter asked me what was in the box for customs and what was its value. I said "A ha". "What?". "A ha". She didn't seem to understand what a ha was so I put on my best Canadian accent and said "A hat, eh!" She put some postage on the box, told me to FO and there I left it. It should be in Ireland in a week.

this will have to become a sticky so we can keep track of where its going lads. Heres Donals start of the story....Page one
THE STORY OF THE HAT
The Joelson family Christmas is
always a highlight for the family but because of work commitments and the
distances involved it is not held on Christmas Day but rather in the middle of
January.
Every year, everyone draws a
name and whichever name you pick you have to buy them a $40 gift and make them
something. In 2007, Tracy Souch drew her brother-in-law, Donal Cullen and the
home-made "something" was to be a hat.
So, you begin your search and
this led Tracy to some thrift stores where this hat shone like a beacon to her
beadie little eyes with the logic Donal Likes soccer. It is a soccer hat. Donal
will like that. She also picked up a soccer ceiling fan and a soccer game all
for the princely sum of $40.
Come January, and amid a flurry
of flying Christmas paper, Donal was greeted with the sight of this hat which
immediately caused amusement among the 20+ people present. Photos were taken and
promises made that it would be worn at soccer games in the future.
Now, Mr. Cullen was careful not
to point out by whom said hat would be worn at soccer games and when he chanced
upon the Youboysingreen forum it was like a beacon on light for
him.
Unfortunately, the day he was to
send this off to Ireland an ice storm fell on Brantford so his proposed move to
have it photographed at a soccer ground, a snow covered soccer ground at that,
went to nought but in the spirit of the hat he decided to pass it
on.
There were two volunteers for
the hats debut, Eric Collins and Gary Malone, and it was to Gary Malone that it
was sent as he would be the first to wear it at a soccer/football
ground.
So it is to Gary that the hat
passes.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Take the hat to a
stadium.
2. Put it on your
head.
3. Get someone to take a photo
(or even a video0 of hat wearer (with hat on!)
4. Pass it on.
5. That's it.
THE JOURNEY.
17 January 2008
Hat makes its debut at Joelson
family Christmas
6 February 2008
Hat departs from Brantford,

I'm probably heading to the Liverpool and Reading game the week prior to that pool vs man u game, i could bring it with me to that....
I'd completely understand if there was an objection to bringing the hat to watch Liverpool, the hat mightnt be impressed....i'm a Liverpool fan and i'm generally not impressed with them at the moment either |
