He is a person dressed in a large bantam hen costume, wearing a full City football kit over the costume itself. His involvement is largely limited to visibility due to the person being stifled by the costume itself. He wanders around the pitch before the game and during half-time waving, and occasionally takes part in penalty shoot-outs as the goalkeeper involving match-day mascots or children from local schools.

It is not known for sure, but it is believed that the suit is inhabited by Michael Fearnley of Queensbury.
