It’s usually just the mascot who puts on fancy dress at a football match, but fans of League Two side Hartlepool want to put that right.

Hundreds of their die-hard supporters have pulled on Thunderbirds costumes for their clash with Plymouth Argyle.

The north East side have a reputation for fancy dress, with fans usually donning mad attire for the club’s final away match each season.

Last year they went for penguins, and the year before smurfs – but this time they’ve outdone themselves, travelling the 322 miles to Plymouth in the Thunderbirds get-up.


Impressive stuff!
