Talk:Hartlepool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hartlepool Rovers RFC, who use the hanging monkey as the club logo and on tours would hang a monkey on the posts of the rugby pitch to spread the story."
Surely not an actual monkey? (Is it a banner, a stuffed toy...?) --Greg K Nicholson 23:42:53, 2005-09-03 (UTC)
I am a current hartlepool rovers player , and yes it is a stuffed toy monkey with a rope around its neck , im lead to belive that the tradition of hanging the monkey is decades old , and im sure it will continue for many a year.
