Ware FC don’t have an official mascot (if they do someone please tell me). And, I ask you, what good is a team without a mascot. You need someone to keep you interested in the match, to keep your spirits up when you’re down 2 goals, and to lead anti opposition chants. So, with this in our minds, we went out looking for a mascot worthy of the job. And we found one.

It came in the form of Linney. For those of you who don’t know him (and let me just say, not many people do) Linney is a spider approximately 1 cm in diameter (including the legs) who has just inherited our crown as best unofficial Ware FC mascot of all time. So you can get aquatinted with him I have included a profile of Ware’s most popular Spider:

Name: Linney
Size: 0.5 cm – 1 cm (diameter including legs)
Skill level: 1st class
Popularity: Suprisingly good actually (3/3 people asked knew who he was!)
Skill level of the team Linney Mascots: Unimaginable
Football skill level: We haven’t tried him out but it is widely excepted that he has footy skills silkier than a tie made of good quality silk.
Appearances so far: 6
Closest brush with death: We lost him (sorry, if truth be told I lost him) But don’t worry, he was found safe and well at the next match.
Inhabits: The AWAY STAND END of Ware FC’s main stand (he has his reasons).
Do we like him?: Yes we do

Many people have never seen Linney. So for the benifit of the public I have included an expertly drawn picture of him.

I will do what I can to get a real photo of Linney. However, the artists representation of Linney will stay because it's class. I cannot take credit for the drawing of Linney. This is because I didn't draw him (obviously).

And if you look directly above you'll find another quality picture of our favourite spider drawn by the ware_football_club_fan himself! And guess what: he's zip wiring! Yes, right when we we were celebrating the return of linney to the Ware FC scene (He'd been in hibernation throughout much of the previous football season you see) right when we were celebrating his triumphant return to the mascot throne zoom went linney! Speeding past our very eyes on his very own zip wire! Showing all the style, skill and composure of a true profesional. I was impressed I can tell you! So to mark this oh so special occasion I include this latest addition to the Linney apreciation page.

A lot of people say I'm crazy....
